Carbon Costs at the Border
This research analyzes the implications of the United Kingdom’s upcoming Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on Indian exports, in the context of the recently concluded India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA). While the FTA grants zero-duty access to 99% of Indian goods, it fails to address the carbon tax regime the UK plans to implement by January 1, 2027. The study highlights how this regulatory gap could expose Indian exporters—particularly in high-emission sectors like steel, aluminium, and cement—to new financial burdens. It also explores the broader strategic risks, such as setting a precedent for the European Union’s similar carbon policies and weakening India’s legal position in trade negotiations and at the WTO.
