From October 1 this year, exporters, including from India, of steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen and electricity will have to document and share emission data with the EU. From January 1, 2026, the EU will start collecting CBAM as an import tariff from “dirty” goods. India’s iron, steel and aluminium exporters, it says, will be hit hard as 27% of the country’s exports of these products are to EU.
