CHALLENGE EU CARBON
TAX AT WTO

Indian plans to fill a complaint to the World


TradeOrganisation over the European Union's
proposal to impose 20% to 35% tariffs on
imports of high-carbon goods like steel, iron
ore and cement from India, top government
and industry .
This is part of New Delhi's strategy to combat
the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment
Mechanism (CBAM) designed to push local
industries to invest in new technologies to
bring down carbon emissions, while also
raising the issue in bilateral talks.
Piyush Goyal, India's trade minister, is on a
visit to Brussels to meet EU leaders to
address bilateral issues and promote trade.
Last month, the European Union approved
the world's first plan to impose a levy on
high-carbon goods imports from 2026,
targeting imports of steel, cement,
aluminium, fertilisers, electricity, and
hydrogen, aiming to become a net zero
emitter of greenhouse gases by 2050, ahead
of India's target of 2070.
