GTZ CDM-India was established in August 2003, through an
agreement between German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) and the
Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Ministry of Power), Government of
India, under the Indo-German Energy Programme (IGEN) as the
capacity building facility that can help reduce transaction
costs in the early market development process. It's objective
is to foster high quality CDM projects that will successfully
complete the project cycle and provide experience through
'learning by doing'. These projects should be widely
replicable. Capacity building and providing support to public
and private sector institutions for preparation and
implementation of internationally acceptable projects under
the Clean Development Mechanism is its primary aim. It
actively cooperates with the
National
CDM Authority (NCDMA) of India for institutionalizing
CDM projects in India.

Environment & Forests (MoEF), Government of India in December
2003. NCDMA is chaired by Secretary MoEF and managed by Member
