The National Mission for CCUS is announced-not-launched: NITI Aayog Member VK Saraswat (August 2024) framed a mission-mode approach replicating the hydrogen/battery/electrolyser playbook with VGF, carbon pricing, tax mechanisms, carbon trading, subsidies and PLI, plus 500-tonne-per-day pilot plants; Adviser Rajnath Ram (September 2025) promised 50-100% incentives “very soon” and (August 2025) a finalising roadmap with funding outlay. The design base is the November 2022 NITI-Dastur framework: carbon-credit/incentive policy path, hub-and-cluster business models with defined emitter/aggregator/operator/disposer roles, low-carbon product procurement and PLI, a Carbon Capture Finance Corporation funded by coal-cess and bonds for 750 Mtpa by 2050 (Rs.210,000 crores, ~0.5% of budgetary support), 500 tpd pilots, and coal-power/steel/cement/oil/refinery/chemical/hydrogen coverage. Status stays Planned until the mission launches with money attached.
