Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Dalmia Bharat provides a moderate level of transparency on its climate-related lobbying. It identifies one concrete policy – the Bureau of Energy Efficiency’s Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) Scheme – and also refers more generally to carbon pricing instruments and international market-based mechanisms, but it does not list any additional, clearly identifiable pieces of legislation. The company explains how it seeks to influence policy, noting its “active participation and engagement” with the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change, the Central Pollution Control Board and the Cement Manufacturers’ Association, and describing activities such as participating in policy discussions and advocating low-carbon product standards; however, it does not spell out the exact formats of these interventions (letters, formal consultations, testimony, etc.). Dalmia Bharat is reasonably clear about what it wants to achieve: it backs the PAT Scheme, supports tightening energy-efficiency targets for energy-intensive industries, and champions wider uptake of low-carbon cement products like PPC, PSC and CC, linking these positions to Paris-aligned emissions reductions. Taken together, these disclosures give a useful, though not comprehensive, picture of the company’s climate lobbying efforts.	2

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Moderate	Dalmia Bharat reports that its “legal team engaged in public advocacy (individually and through FICCI, CII and CMA, among others) to influence policy,” and it asserts that it “ensures engagement with policy makers and trade associations that work towards a similar 1.5DS trajectory growth,” supported by a “public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.” These disclosures demonstrate an intention to align both its direct outreach to policymakers and its indirect lobbying through trade associations with its climate strategy. However, the company does not disclose any formal oversight structure—no named individual or committee responsible for review—nor does it provide detail on systematic monitoring or require board-level sign-off for its climate-related lobbying, and we found no evidence of a dedicated audit or publicly available report on climate-lobbying alignment.	2
