The ₹20,000-Crore CCUS Moment

The Union Budget 2026-27 allocates ₹20,000 crore to advance CCUS technologies in heavy industries, creating an unprecedented opportunity for India’s climate and industrial future.

₹20,000 Cr
Budget Allocation
Dedicated CCUS Mission funding to drive deployment across power, steel, cement, refineries and chemicals.
750 MTPA
Capture Target by 2050
The DST’s CCUS R&D Roadmap outlines a phased scale-up with 600 Gt of mapped geological storage potential.
~500
Regulated Entities
GEI targets are now legally binding, creating compliance pressure and driving demand for CCUS solutions across industries.
5
Priority Sectors
Power, steel, cement, refineries and chemicals — the high-emitting sectors where CCUS will be transformative.

Three Developments That
Make This the Right Moment

01
Regulation
India’s GEI targets are now legally binding for ~500 industrial entities, creating real compliance pressure and demand for CCUS.
02
Funding
Budget 2026 announced a ₹20,000 crore CCUS Mission, signalling a definitive shift from research to deployment.
03
Roadmap
The GoI’s DST published a detailed CCUS R&D Roadmap in December 2025, targeting 750 MTPA of capture capacity by 2050.
