Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Plan

The Indian Scenario

The rapid expansion of the Indian economy, coupled with its continued dependence on fossil fuels to support economic growth and modernisation, has positioned India as the world’s third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, despite its per capita emissions remaining significantly lower than those of developed countries. ATGL is committed to establishing a comprehensive decarbonisation strategy to minimise its carbon footprint while contributing to energy security and economic growth in an environmentally responsible manner.

In response to India’s growing gas and energy demand, our business sector is pivotal in promoting sustainable practices. As a significant player in the sector, we recognise our role in supporting India’s low-carbon transition while ensuring reliable energy access for residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors. By setting annual environmental performance targets and continuous monitoring, we drive accountability and impact, fostering a sustainable future while meeting the nation’s energy needs.

India’s Climate Ambitions

As part of Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement, India has set a target of becoming Net Zero by 2070. Additionally, India intends to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity, and source 50% of its energy requirements from renewable energy by 2030. It also aims to reduce the emission intensity of its economy by 45% and create an additional carbon sink of 2.5 - 3.0 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover.

Presently in India, the share of natural gas in energy basket is 6.7% and the Government has set a target to raise the share of natural gas in energy mix to 15% in 2030. Furthermore, India is developing a domestic carbon market to encourage industries to adopt low-carbon technologies and trade carbon credits, fostering emission reductions across key sectors.

ATGL’s Climate Change Strategy: Aligned with Nation’s Ambitions

ATGL’s decarbonisation approach closely aligns with India’s Net Zero ambition by 2070 and is designed to create long-term, resilient value for stakeholders. Our Net Zero and decarbonisation commitments directly support India’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement and align with evolving global climate commitments articulated through the Conference of Parties (COP). These priorities are fully integrated with the ESG frameworks of our promoter partners, the Adani Group and TotalEnergies, ensuring strategic consistency across the value chain.

We translate these commitments into action through clearly defined annual environmental performance targets, supported by robust monitoring systems and active leadership oversight. This governance-led approach strengthens accountability, enables disciplined capital allocation, and mitigates transition risks. By systematically improving energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and scaling renewable energy adoption across operations, ATGL is positioning itself to enhance operational efficiency, manage climate-related risks, and capitalise on opportunities arising from India’s low-carbon transition.

Goal: Achieve a net positive impact by 2030

As signatories to India Business and Biodiversity Initiative (IBBI), we align with global best practices that promote responsible interaction with ecosystems. This partnership ensures that our biodiversity management remains world-class and transparent.

Our Biodiversity Lens

Our biodiversity blueprint is aimed at not just protecting nature but giving back more than we take by 2030.

Our Board-approved Biodiversity Policy reframes our relationship with the nature. We do not view ecosystems merely as resources, but as partners in progress. This policy establishes a rigorous framework for assessing, managing, and mitigating potential risks across our operations. Our structured hierarchy of mitigation involves preventing ecological impacts as the first line of defence. Where impacts cannot be fully avoided, we try to reduce them and undertake restorative measures, including habitat restoration and large-scale plantation drives. We have also introduced a biodiversity integration framework, covering ten key areas ranging from incorporating biodiversity into Environmental Management Systems to engaging stakeholders in conservation programmes.

Avoid – Reduce – Restore Framework

Avoid: Prioritising prevention where impact is unavoidable

  • Avoid operations in ecologically sensitive zones
  • Avoid tree cutting especially during bird nesting seasons

Reduce: Minimising the footprint where operations are unavoidable

  • Routing gas pipelines away from wildlife habitats, wherever possible, to minimise disturbance

Restore: Returning Ecosystems to their natural states

  • Greenmosphere Biodiversity Park, Ahmedabad
  • Forest and habitat restoration via the ‘Revival of Roots’ initiative in Kajalgaon, Assam
  • Mass Plantation by Miyawaki techniques in Washim district of Maharashtra. (On-going project)

Managing Biodiversity Risks

Biodiversity risks are integrated into our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework for continuous oversight and systematic management.

Pre-Operations Assessment for Risk Identification

  • Comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) are undertaken for all Geographical Areas (GAs) before commencing the operations

Biodiversity Management Plans

  • EIA findings inform the development of comprehensive Biodiversity Management Plans (BMPs) to address the impacts related to land, water and biodiversity

Compliance and Reporting

  • EIA reports are submitted to the concerned regulators for compliance verification
  • Regular audits and assessments identify areas of improvement and ensure compliance

Green Initiatives through Stakeholder Engagement

Tree Plantation for a Greener Future

ATGL undertakes extensive tree plantation activities to create natural carbon sinks, reduce GHG concentrations and enhance climate resilience. We plant trees as part of our Greenmosphere and Revival of Roots projects, consulting and engaging with the local authorities and communities throughout the execution and maintenance phase.

Tree Plantation Pledge on WEF’s 1t.org Forum

As part of the Adani Group’s pledge to plant 100 million trees by 2030, under the World Economic Forum’s Trillion Trees Platform (1t.org), ATGL has committed to planting 0.4 million trees by 2030.
