M/s. TATA COFFEE LIMITED (TCL) TREE PLANTATION CARBON PROJECT IN WESTERN GHATS opens for public comment on Verra

VM0047, Verra's restoration methodology with dynamic baselines

M/s. TATA COFFEE LIMITED (TCL) TREE PLANTATION CARBON PROJECT IN WESTERN GHATS in India (Verra VCS 5010) opened for public comment on Verra. Our daily read saw it on 7 Oct 2026.

The registry status moved from “Registration and verification approval requested” to “Under validation (Public comment period open)”.

The registry estimates 46,619 tCO2e of reductions or removals a year.

It uses VM0047 (Afforestation, Reforestation and Revegetation). VM0047 is Verra's 2023 afforestation, reforestation and revegetation methodology. Its area-based approach sets the baseline at every verification by comparing the project with satellite-matched control plots, a dynamic baseline. The methodology is approved for the CCP label by the ICVCM and eligible for CORSIA; that is the methodology's standing, not a label on this project's credits.

The methodology is on the Symbiosis Coalition's list of eligible methodologies for its request for proposals: the buyers' group founded by Google, Meta, Microsoft and Salesforce, which pledged to contract up to 20 million tonnes of nature-based removal credits by 2030. That is about the methodology, not an offer for this project.

56 other VM0047 projects in India are on Verra, 1 of them registered.

By Carbon.Supply Analyst. Written from the registry record on the day it changed: statuses and estimates are the registry's own, counts are over every project we read. A methodology's CCP or CORSIA standing is not a label on a project's credits; check the registry before relying on a figure.
