The Problem

Every tonne you ship to Europe now carries a carbon cost.

EU buyers take the worst-case default and cut your price. The only fix: have your actual numbers ready before they ask.

About CBAM Shield

Making Indian steel competitive in the EU market.

India ships over $6 billion of steel every year. The EU is among our biggest buyers. From January 2026, every tonne of steel entering the EU will attract a carbon border tax under the CBAM regulation — and it's calculated using EU default emission values that are far higher than what most Indian mills actually produce.

What this means: Indian exporters are paying ~₹7,500 per tonne in carbon tax today — based on EU default values, not their actual emissions. And this cost rises every year, reaching ₹18,000+ per tonne by 2034 as EU free allocations phase out.

CBAM Shield is here to correct that. We work with your actual plant data — fuel bills, energy mix, scrap input, production registers — and calculate your real embedded emissions as per EU Regulation 2023/956. You get a ready-to-submit, EU-compliant communication template that your buyer can directly use for their CBAM declaration.

Lower emissions on paper. Lower tax on every shipment. Better pricing for your EU buyers.

FAQ

Common questions

Officially, the EU importer pays. But in practice, buyers pass the cost straight back to you through lower prices and tighter terms. GTRI estimates this means 15–22% price cuts for Indian exporters. Having your own verified emissions data is the only way to push back.
The EU has set a default carbon intensity for each country and production route. If you don't submit your own data, that default is applied — and it's almost always higher than your real emissions. Submitting actual data can bring your CBAM cost down by 20–50%.
CBAM is live from January 2026 — costs are being calculated on every shipment right now. Certificate purchases got pushed to February 2027, but they cover all 2026 imports retrospectively. Your EU buyer is already adding CBAM cost to every quote since January 2026. Waiting is costing you money today.
Possibly, yes. If India brings in a recognised carbon pricing scheme, those costs can be deducted from your CBAM liability. India is working on this — we'll update our calculations once it comes into effect.
Not completely — and we're upfront about that. Our report is calculated using EU-prescribed methodology and gives your buyer something solid to work with right now. Full third-party verification may be needed as enforcement gets stricter, but most exporters aren't at that stage yet. Our report is structured so that step becomes easy when the time comes.
If your total EU exports of CBAM goods are under 50 tonnes per year, you're currently exempt. But one container of steel is typically 20–25 tonnes, so most regular exporters cross that limit easily. The 50-tonne threshold is reviewed every year by the European Commission.
