India's climate filings, read closely
How honestly is corporate India reporting its climate numbers?
We read the machine-readable climate filings of India's fifty largest listed companies — 49 available in this first year — verify every number against primary sources, and publish what we find: data, code and method included.
Findings
The same unit tag means tonnes for nineteen companies — and million tonnes for one
India's first machine-readable climate filings carry a metadata defect that makes the data unusable at face value. Verified against every company's own PDF.

Five verified patterns of stating a net-zero ambition while the filing's largest emissions category goes unmeasured — each named precisely, each fully compliant.

Deterministic parsing, no AI extraction, two independent sources per published figure, every correction logged in public.

India is switching on the machinery of climate accountability — mandatory corporate disclosure, a compliance carbon market, border-adjustment exposure. The filings are public, but almost nobody reads them, and no one publishes them as open, verified, analyzable data. We do. The database is the receipt; the findings are the point.
