pollution, particularly from Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and
large point sources. The position is critical to advancing the programme's
objectives of developing India-specific industrial emission factors, supporting
the implementation of market-based instruments such as Emissions Trading
Schemes (ETS), and enhancing industrial compliance mechanisms, including
Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS). The analyst will also engage
directly with the MSME sector to identify and assess viable pathways for
emissions reduction and energy efficiency improvements, including cleaner fuel
adoption, improved process technologies, and decentralised solutions. The role
involves technical assessments, data analysis, stakeholder consultations, and
policy translation to strengthen regulatory frameworks and enable cleaner, more
efficient industrial practices across key sectors and geographies.

industrial emissions, air pollution control technologies, cleaner fuels, and
energy efficiency interventions across MSMEs and large industries.
● Assist in techno-economic assessments of
pollution control and energy efficiency technologies suitable for MSME
clusters.
● Analyse relevant environmental regulations,
standards, and compliance frameworks related to industrial emissions and air
quality.
● Manage and analyse industrial activity,
emissions, and energy use datasets (e.g., CEMS, ASI, CPCB portals).
● Support the development and refinement of tools,
dashboards, and models to monitor industrial emissions and evaluate mitigation
scenarios.
● Conduct assessments using Excel/Python/R-based
tools to calculate emission reduction metrics.
● Engage with industry associations, MSME units,
