India’s Mangroves Gain Corporate Support, Eye Blue Carbon Potential

Mangrove conservation in India is attracting growing support from major companies, with projects in Maharashtra and Gujarat focusing on protecting coastal ecosystems and supporting local communities. Companies including Apple, Godrej Enterprises Group, and Amazon have backed conservation initiatives, although these projects currently do not generate carbon credits.

Experts believe these efforts could eventually contribute to the development of India’s blue carbon market, where mangroves are valued for storing carbon while protecting coastlines and biodiversity. With India’s carbon market launched in 2026, stronger monitoring, scientific assessment, and community participation could help transform conservation projects into long-term climate investments.
