BluSmart EV Project in India
#9of 387 in India#18of 629 in Verra (VCS)#1of 8 in AMS-III.C
Audit Analysis
The BluSmart EV project is a straightforward avoidance-type project (electric vehicles replacing ICE vehicles) with VVB-confirmed additionality, no reversal events, and a recent baseline reassessment (2023). The main concerns are the project-specific baseline, a 0% leakage deduction with inconsistent justification across documents, and unresolved contradictions on FPIC and benefit-sharing. Overall, the project presents moderate-to-good integrity with minor documentation gaps.
Red Flags
- FPIC status contradicts between the validation report (conducted) and the more recent monitoring report (not conducted) — unclear whether free, prior, and informed consent was actually obtained
- Leakage justification is inconsistent: the 2023 verification report states leakage was 'not addressed' while the 2025 monitoring report claims it was 'deemed negligible' — the earlier gap was never formally resolved
- Buffer pool percentage is not stated in any available document, leaving the permanence safeguard mechanism unquantified
- CORSIA eligibility and CCP status are not stated in any document, leaving dual-channel risk unassessed
