1️⃣ Stricter EU Carbon Rules Pose Challenges for Indian Steel Exports
2️⃣ India’s Steel Sector Faces Rising Costs Amid EU’s Green Regulations
3️⃣ CBAM Compliance Becomes Critical for India’s Steel Industry
The competitiveness of India's steel sector is under pressure as the European Union tightens carbon regulations under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The stricter carbon levy, aimed at curbing emissions from high-polluting industries, will significantly impact Indian steel exports to the EU, one of India’s key markets.
Under CBAM, exporters to the EU must pay for carbon emissions embedded in their products, making high-emission steel production costly. India, which largely relies on coal-based steelmaking, faces rising compliance costs. This could result in Indian steel becoming less competitive compared to European or lower-carbon alternatives.
Domestic steelmakers are now looking at strategies to reduce their carbon footprint, including increased use of renewable energy, green hydrogen adoption, and carbon capture technologies. The Indian government is also exploring policy support to ensure the sector remains competitive. However, the transition to low-emission production requires significant investment and time.
As global trade shifts towards sustainability, Indian steel players must accelerate decarbonization efforts to maintain their position in international markets.
