India-EU FTA Includes Annexure to Address Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism Concerns
The India-EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA) includes a dedicated annexure addressing the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). According to Additional Secretary Darpan Jain, the annexure provides a comprehensive work plan to support Indian exporters, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), by easing compliance and verification challenges. It ensures future flexibility for India if the EU extends similar relaxations to other countries and allows engagement on recognizing India's carbon pricing. The FTA's legal review is complete, with signing expected soon.
