Frequently Asked Questions
Does India have a carbon tax that offsets CBAM?
India does not have a national carbon tax. The PAT scheme provides energy efficiency certificates but no direct carbon price eligible for CBAM deduction under Article 9 of Regulation 2023/956.
What is India's grid emission factor for CBAM calculations?
India's national grid emission factor is approximately 0.82 tCO2/MWh. Regional factors vary: coal-heavy states (Chhattisgarh, Odisha) are higher; renewable-heavy states (Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan) are lower.
Which Indian industries face the highest CBAM exposure?
Indian EAF steel producers, DRI producers, aluminium smelters, and ammonia/urea fertiliser manufacturers face the highest CBAM exposure. Tata Steel, JSW Steel, Hindalco, and IFFCO are key affected companies.
Does CBAM apply to Indian DRI exports?
Yes. Direct reduced iron (DRI) is covered under CBAM Regulation 2023/956 Annex I (CN code 7203). India is the world's largest DRI producer and a significant DRI exporter to the EU.
