PPP-adjusted intensity, comparable with global peers
Restate an emissions or energy intensity against PPP-adjusted turnover, so an Indian company's figure stands next to international peers on a like-for-like basis.
- Turn a rupee-per-turnover intensity into an int'l-dollar figure peers use
- World Bank PPP factor pre-filled and cited, editable for the current year
- Sits alongside, not instead of, the rupee intensity you file under P6
For the consultant benchmarking a client against global peers or a parent group. An optional view; it does not replace the BRSR rupee figure.
Pre-filled with the World Bank 2024 value. Editable, override with the current-year figure before filing.
Results
Enter a metric, turnover, and a PPP factor to see the PPP-adjusted intensity.
Method & formula
PPP intensity = metric ÷ (revenue in ₹ ÷ PPP factor)
BRSR reports intensity per rupee of turnover (P6). This tool adds an optional PPP-adjusted view for peer comparison; it does not replace the rupee figure you file.
Value shown is the 2024 series point (2023 was 20.46). The World Bank revises the series each ICP cycle. Re-verify the current-year figure at the World Bank portal before using it in a filing; the field is editable so you can override it.

Why a rupee intensity misleads a global comparison
BRSR asks for emissions intensity per rupee of turnover. That's the right figure to file, but it can't sit next to a European or US peer's number, because a rupee doesn't buy the same output abroad that it does in India. PPP corrects for exactly that.
The comparison problem
A peer reports tonnes per million dollars of revenue. Convert your rupees at the market exchange rate and Indian intensity looks worse than it is, because the rupee is undervalued against what it actually buys.
What PPP does
Purchasing Power Parity restates turnover in international dollars, the amount that buys the same basket of goods everywhere. It strips the currency distortion out of the denominator so the intensity is like-for-like.
One editable, cited factor
The World Bank publishes India's PPP conversion factor each year (about ₹20.45 per international dollar for 2024). It's pre-filled and cited here, override it with the current-year value before you rely on it.
Frequently asked questions
Why adjust emissions intensity for purchasing power parity?
A BRSR intensity is reported per rupee of turnover, which makes an Indian company's figure look different from a global peer's for reasons that have nothing to do with emissions — the same physical output converts to a different revenue figure at market exchange rates. Restating turnover on a PPP basis puts the two on a like-for-like footing.
Does this replace the rupee intensity I file under BRSR?
No. BRSR requires the rupee figure, and this sits alongside it as an optional comparison view, typically for a parent group or an investor question. Filing a PPP-adjusted figure in place of the rupee one would be a departure from the format.
Where does the PPP conversion factor come from?
The World Bank's PPP conversion factor for India, pre-filled and cited on the page and editable if you need a different year. The year is shown with the factor, because a PPP factor without its vintage is as unciteable as an emission factor without its version.
Can I use this for CDP or an ESG rating submission?
It is a useful comparison for those conversations, but check each framework's own instruction first — several specify the exact turnover basis they want. Use it to explain a gap to a peer, not to restate a figure a framework has defined.
