Central Depository Services (India) Limited's reported carbon emissions

Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) currently does not have available carbon emissions data, as no specific figures have been provided. Consequently, there are no reported emissions for the most recent year or any details regarding Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. Additionally, CDSL has not outlined any formal reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), nor have they made any climate pledges. This lack of data suggests that CDSL may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy or reporting framework.
