Vulnerable Sectors

Who's In The Crosshairs?

CBAM targets emission-intensive sectors where India has significant export exposure. If you export in these categories, you need a strategy now.

🏗️

Cement

Critical Risk

India's exports face ~5x the EU emission benchmark. Est. cost increase: 12-22%.

Aluminium

High Risk

Energy-intensive. Grid carbon intensity creates a heavy footprint unless using renewables.
