Positive Climate Care 9.75 MW Bundled Wind Power Project Activity by Savita Oil Technologies Ltd. & its group companies in the state of Maharashtra, India

Audit Analysis

A 9.75 MW wind power project in Maharashtra, India, with a sound jurisdictional baseline and VVB-confirmed investment additionality test. However, the verification report (2023) lists over 20 material findings and 20+ corrective actions, including calibration delays at multiple turbine sites, deviations from the registered monitoring plan, and an initially missing no-double-counting undertaking. The project delivered exactly the ERR it claimed for the monitoring period, but documentation quality is a significant weakness.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Over 20 material findings and 20+ corrective actions in the 2023 verification report, including calibration delays at 9+ turbine locations and a deviation from the registered monitoring plan for apportioning calculations
• ⚠Inconsistent information on registration under other GHG programs (CDM vs VCS) flagged as a material finding, with CAR 02 requiring a no-double-counting undertaking that was initially absent
• ⚠Non-permanence risk analysis in the verification report states 'NA' for risk, assessment, response, level, and justification — no substantive permanence analysis provided
• ⚠Leakage justification is internally inconsistent within the same verification report: one section states 'not addressed' while another states 'deemed negligible'
