The success of India's carbon market will depend on the regulator's ability to enforce design features, according to Rohini Pande, Director of Economic Growth Centre at Yale University. Introducing a bond system like the one piloted at Gujarat Pollution Control Board where penalties are issued for non-compliance could be effective. Carbon market permits will be given to participating companies, and there may be a cap on aggregate carbon emissions.
