India Proposes Carbon Targets for Hundreds of Industries

India is making a new rule to help factories pollute less.

Over 460 factories, like those making steel and oil, will have goals to reduce how much pollution they make.

If they pollute too much, they'll have to buy credits, like paying a fine.

If they pollute less than their goal, they get credits they can sell.

If they don't meet their goal and don't buy credits, they pay a fine.

These rules are part of a bigger plan to make factories cleaner and reduce pollution, and the public can give their opinions on the plan.
