BRSR Emission Intensity (India)
Carbon intensity vs sector benchmark — the ratio ESG questionnaires actually ask for.
India's BRSR requires emission intensity per rupee of turnover (Principle 6) for the top-1000 listed companies — and their suppliers feel the data requests. Compute the exact ratio the format asks for.
Intensity metrics let buyers and investors compare you against peers at any size — BRSR, CDP and EcoVadis all ask for them. Falling intensity with growing revenue is the story every supplier scorecard wants to see; absolute reductions are the story the atmosphere needs.
Screening-level estimate using published average emission factors. Audited disclosures (BRSR, GRI, CDP) require primary activity data and verified factors — confirm with your sustainability auditor.

Frequently asked questions
What is carbon intensity and why report it?+
Emissions normalized by business size — tCO₂e per crore of revenue, per employee, per unit produced. It makes a growing company comparable across years and against peers; BRSR, CDP and most investor questionnaires ask for it alongside absolute numbers.
What's a typical carbon intensity?+
Wildly sectoral: services 0.5–3 t per ₹crore revenue, light manufacturing 10–50, heavy industry hundreds. Per employee: offices 1.5–3 t, factories 8–15. Compare strictly within your sector — the benchmark line here does — or the number misleads.
Can intensity fall while absolute emissions rise?+
Yes — grow revenue faster than emissions and intensity improves while the atmosphere still loses. Mature disclosure shows both: intensity for efficiency, absolute for impact. Targets (SBTi-style) increasingly require absolute cuts precisely to close this loophole.
How fast should intensity improve?+
Sustained 5–7%/yr improvement matches a credible decarbonization path (the −30%-in-5-years row marks it). Cheaper than it sounds: efficiency, solar and logistics fixes typically deliver the first 20–30% at positive ROI — the energy tools on this site find them.
