LCA & EPD Consultant India | Affordable Life Cycle Assessment | NLCCC
New Life Cycle and Carbon Consultant (NLCCC) specialises in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) consulting for manufacturers and product designers across India.
Indian manufacturers face growing pressure to measure and declare the environmental impact of their products — from EU export regulations and green building certifications to ESG reporting mandates and supply chain requirements. Meeting these demands has historically been expensive and complex.
NLCCC was founded to change that. Led by Dr. Rohit Panchal — an IIM Mumbai PhD with hands-on LCA experience at the Materials Processing Institute (UK) — we deliver world-class LCA and EPD services at pricing designed for Indian manufacturers.
Whether you are a building materials exporter preparing for EN 15804-compliant EPDs, a manufacturer seeking ISO 14044-compliant LCA, or a business calculating your product carbon footprint under ISO 14067 — NLCCC provides expert, affordable, and fully compliant consulting services.

LCA, EPD & Carbon Footprint Services India | ISO 14040, ISO 14044, ISO 14025, EN 15804 | NLCCC
ISO-compliant Life Cycle Assessment and Environmental Product Declaration services — helping Indian manufacturers reduce environmental impact, meet EU export requirements, and win sustainability-conscious clients.
Under Regulatory Pressure?
Organizations are increasingly required to meet sustainability disclosure requirements, carbon reporting obligations, and green building certification criteria such as LEED and BREEAM. Whether responding to client audits, procurement requirements, or ESG commitments, an early-stage LCA evaluation can help identify risks and improvement opportunities.
Connect with Dr Rohit Panchal to explore the most suitable pathway for your project.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Services India
Consultation Outline
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the foundation of credible environmental claims. Under ISO 14040 and ISO 14044, LCA quantifies the environmental impact of your product across its entire life cycle — from raw material extraction through manufacturing, use, and end-of-life. For Indian manufacturers, LCA is increasingly required for EU market access, green building certifications (LEED, GRIHA, IGBC), and EPD development. NLCCC delivers fully ISO 14040/14044-compliant LCA studies — independently reviewed and suitable for publication as Environmental Product Declarations. Our LCA studies cover industries including, but not limited to, construction materials, textiles, chemicals, metals, electronics, and packaging.
Key Compliance Frameworks Covered
- •BS EN ISO 14040:2006 (LCA Principles & Framework)
- •BS EN ISO 14044:2006+A1:2018 (LCA Requirements & Guidelines)
Our Proven Consultation Workflow
Goal and Scope Definition
We establish the system boundaries, functional unit definitions (such as '1 ton of low-carbon concrete' or '1 square meter of solar panel'), and the specific targets of the study.
Life Cycle Inventory (LCI)
A meticulous data collection phase. We map out all incoming resource elements, water, electricity, materials, and outgoing emissions and waste.
Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA)
Using world-leading environmental databases (like Ecoinvent) and characterization models, we calculate impacts across categories like global warming (GWP), acidification, eutrophication, and ozone depletion.
Interpretation & Reporting
We formulate actionable strategies to reduce ecological impact, compile an ISO-compliant report, and guide your engineering and product design teams on sustainable pathways.

Build In-House LCA Capability, Not Just a One-Time Report
In-person LCA training and capacity-building workshops for Indian manufacturers. Build in-house LCA capability with hands-on, ISO 14040/44-aligned training from NLCCC - So your organisation can run, maintain and extend life cycle assessments long after the consultant leaves.
Why In-House Sustainability Skills Are Vital Today
Most Indian manufacturers commission LCA or EPD studies but lack the in-house capability to update, modify, or extend them. Once the consultancy engagement ends, internal teams are often left with a static report that quickly becomes outdated as process parameters, supply grids, or material inputs evolve.
With mounting pressure from European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), strict EPD requirements from international buyers, and Scope 3 reporting demands from enterprise customers, organisations increasingly need to run and manage LCA processes themselves, rather than relying exclusively on external support.
To address this need, NLCCC offers comprehensive, in-person, hands-on training workshops delivered either as standalone curriculum programs or delivered alongside real, active consulting engagements. We empower your team to own your sustainability data assets with absolute confidence.
Practical Training Formats
Tailored modules designed to transition teams from beginners to confident sustainability practitioners.
EPD-Readiness Training
Tailored for manufacturing businesses preparing for EPD registration. We cover ISO 14025, EN 15804 standards, specific Product Category Rules (PCR) interpretation, as well as the complete EPD compilation, verification, and registration lifecycle.
Embedded LCA + Training
Our most highly requested format. NLCCC carries out your first product LCA study while training your staff live on the same project. Your organization receives both the fully-compliant report deliverable and the in-house capability simultaneously.
Who Is This Training Intended For?
Our curriculum is carefully structured to provide deep value for multiple roles involved in the sustainability reporting ecosystem of modern industrial manufacturing.
- Manufacturers preparing for EPD, CBAM, or eco-label compliance
- Companies that have already commissioned an LCA and want their internal team to maintain and extend the model going forward
- Sustainability managers and corporate sustainability teams
- EHS (Environmental Health and Safety) officers and engineers

Executive Professional Profile
Anoop leads NLCCC's work in automotive and mechatronic components, telecommunications and electronic equipment, Metals, Mining and Rare Earth and hydrogen and alternative fuels.
He spent four years in the Swedish sustainability engineering sector before joining NLCCC. At Aurobay in Gothenburg — the powertrain division of Volvo Cars — he managed sustainability compliance across a supplier base of more than 300, establishing supplier assessment processes, achieving 95% compliance among tier-1 suppliers, and conducting supplier risk assessment under OECD due diligence guidelines. His technical work there included environmental impact assessment of Nd(Dy)FeB permanent magnets in electric motors, with hotspot analysis and due diligence guidance developed against CSDDD requirements, alongside life cycle inventory analysis of methanol and hydrogen production pathways.
His master's research at Ericsson in Stockholm quantified the environmental impact of a Radio Access Network product under product-service system business models, modelling how remanufacturing and network sharing alter lifetime impact. At Together Tech in Gothenburg he led Science-Based Target development, managed company-wide GHG data collection, and delivered sustainability training to client and internal teams.
