Abstract: The present study is undertaken by applying the ICRIER Samriddhi Model (GTAP-E based), which evaluates the impact of the imposition of CBAM on India's steel exports, thus indicating a pathway India should adopt if the EU imposes a carbon border tax. The study results indicate that CBAM is likely to significantly impact India's steel exports to the EU, causing a fall in India's steel exports to the EU by 24 per cent. The paper also gauges whether the imposition of CBAM would lead to a significant reduction in carbon emissions and finds that a reduction of 1 per cent in aggregate emissions will occur in the global steel industry.
