Kalpataru Projects Receives Independent ESG Rating of 62

Niche Ninety Nine assigned Kalpataru Projects International an ESG rating of 62 on 18 September 2026. The rating was issued by Niche Ninety Nine Capability and Certifications, a SEBI-registered ESG provider. Kalpataru stated it did not engage Niche, and the rating was assigned independently.

About the Rating

Niche Ninety Nine distinguishes itself by adopting a "from India, for India, in Indian context" approach, meticulously tailoring its methodology to reflect the nation's specific regulatory framework, including SEBI guidelines and business realities. The firm conducts independent assessments based on publicly available information without direct engagement from rated companies.

ESG ratings have become increasingly material to investor capital allocation and risk assessment, particularly as disclosure frameworks like India's Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) expand transparency requirements across listed entities.
