MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511120527 A) filed by Manipal University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on Dec. 2, 2025, for 'a carbon emission control policy framework for deteriorating inventory systems with hybrid demand under inflationary conditions.'
Inventor(s) include Dr Himanshu Rathore; and Mr. Tejpal Meedal.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an EOQ-based inventory optimization model for deteriorating items operating under inflationary conditions, integrating economic, environmental, and financial factors into a unified framework. The model employs a hybrid demand function influenced by selling price and green technology investment, while item deterioration is moderated through preservation technology. Carbon emissions generated during transportation and storage are quantified, and a carbon tax policy is applied to regulate total emissions. A trade-credit mechanism accounts for interest earned and interest charged based on the supplier's permissible delay period, with separate considerations for cases where the credit period is shorter or longer than the replenishment cycle. Total profit is computed by combining revenue, purchasing and holding costs, ordering costs, preservation and green technology costs, carbon tax, and financial interest components. An optimization engine determines the optimal selling price, cycle time, and green investment using classical optimization techniques, validated through numerical analysis and sensitivity evaluation."
