The India-EU Free Trade Agreement includes a dedicated framework to address concerns related to the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). According to Additional Secretary Darpan Jain, the agreement features a separate annexure outlining a comprehensive work plan to support Indian exporters, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), in meeting CBAM compliance. Provisions include flexibility commitments, recognition of verifiers by EU authorities, and mechanisms to offset carbon pricing paid in India against EU charges, aiming to minimize export challenges for Indian SMEs.
