Lobbying Governance
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
None Bharat Forge Ltd references extensive “public advocacy” activities, noting that “we regularly participate in debates and advocacy for policies related to issues that are significant to our industrial sector” and that it “actively engage[s] in activities and publications aimed at influencing policies, laws, and regulations within our industry sector”. However, the company does not disclose any formal policy or process that ensures these lobbying activities are aligned with its climate or sustainability targets, nor is there any named individual or formal body explicitly charged with overseeing lobbying alignment. While it highlights that its Board-approved ESG Committee is “led by our Joint Managing Director” and that a “Vice President & Head - ESG” manages ESG implementation, there is no indication that this committee or individual reviews or manages its policy advocacy efforts. We found no evidence of criteria for assessing or guiding its membership in trade associations or of any review process for aligning direct or indirect lobbying activities with climate-related goals.

Lobbying Transparency
Overall Assessment Analysis Score
Limited Bharat Forge offers only limited visibility into its climate-related lobbying. It notes that it "regularly participates in debates and advocacy for policies related to issues that are significant to our industrial sector" and says it provides "constructive feedback to regulatory bodies," but it never names any specific climate laws, regulations or government proposals it has engaged on, giving readers no way to understand exactly which measures the company tries to influence. The description of its approach—membership in 17 trade and industry associations and general participation in policy forums—identifies indirect lobbying as a mechanism but does not reveal concrete actions such as meetings, letters or submissions, nor does it identify the particular ministries, legislators or jurisdictions that are the targets of its advocacy. Finally, although the company highlights internal decarbonisation goals such as carbon neutrality by 2040, it does not translate these aspirations into external policy asks; no desired legislative amendments, new regulations or other specific outcomes are disclosed. Overall, the company acknowledges that it engages in policy advocacy but provides little detail on what it lobbies for, how it does so, or the changes it seeks.
