  • A cited verdict for BRSR, Core assurance and value-chain disclosure
  • The financial year each obligation kicks in
  • Three questions, answered entirely on-device

For the consultant scoping whether, and when, a client falls in scope. A readiness check, not legal advice.

Is the company listed on an Indian exchange (BSE / NSE)?

Rank by market capitalisation

Is it a significant value-chain partner (≥2% of purchases / sales) of a larger listed company?

BRSR report (Section A, B & C)

Applies

Mandatory now, FY 2025-26

BRSR is mandatory for the top 1000 listed companies by market capitalisation. A company in this band files the full BRSR with its annual report.

BRSR Core, reasonable assurance

Applies

Mandatory now, FY 2025-26 (top 500)

Reasonable assurance of the 9 BRSR Core attributes is mandatory for the top 500 listed companies by market cap in FY 2025-26. Your client needs an assurance provider and an evidence trail for every Core KPI.

Value-chain ESG disclosure

Unlikely

Not yet required

Mandatory value-chain disclosure is currently scoped to the top 250 listed companies. It is not yet an obligation here, but a large listed customer may still request supplier ESG data.

A readiness check, not legal advice. SEBI has restated the BRSR Core glide-path years; confirm the exact year for your client against the latest SEBI circular. Then run the free readiness report for the full 108-field gap analysis.

How BRSR scope is widening

BRSR didn't arrive all at once. SEBI has widened it in deliberate stages, first who reports at all, then who gets assured, then whose value chain is pulled in. Knowing the phasing tells you what to prepare a client for next.

Who must file

The top 1000 listed companies by market capitalisation file the full BRSR. SEBI phased this in, the top 100, then 500, now 1000, so a client climbing the rankings can come into scope in a given year.

The Core assurance glide path

Beyond filing, the BRSR Core attributes need reasonable assurance. That obligation phases in by market cap too, starting with the top 150 and widening down toward the top 1000 over successive years.

Value-chain disclosure

The frontier is the value chain: significant partners (roughly 2% or more of purchases or sales) of a large listed company are pulled in, reporting BRSR Core on a comply-or-explain basis from FY 2026-27.

Confirm the exact year

SEBI has restated the glide-path years more than once. Treat this tool as a fast readiness check, then confirm the precise financial year for your client against the latest SEBI circular before you commit to it.
