Economic Laws Practice (ELP) is pleased to invite you to the first webinar in its dedicated CBAM webinar series, examining the evolving legal, trade and industrial policy landscape shaped by the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, the EU Green Deal, and the emerging India-EU cooperation framework.

As CBAM moves from policy design to commercial impact, Indian industry must assess not only compliance exposure but also the broader strategic implications for market access, supply-chain competitiveness, decarbonisation investment and institutional engagement with the EU. This session will bring together legal, policy and industry perspectives to examine how Indian exporters and manufacturers can respond to CBAM as a catalyst for green competitiveness.

Agenda

  • India-EU Trade and Industrial Policy Implications
    • How CBAM affects Indian exporters, even though the formal obligation rests with EU importers or authorised CBAM declarants.
    • The potential role of the India-EU FTA in promoting investment in decarbonisation of Indian steel and aluminium industries.
  • Options for EU-India Cooperation on Green Industrialisation
    • Technology transfer, concessional finance, and climate-aligned investment.
    • Standards, mutual recognition, measurement methodologies and capacity building.
    • Opportunities for cooperation in the green hydrogen value chain.
  • Institutional Engagement for Effective Collaboration
    • Practical approaches to structured engagement among government, regulators, industry, exporters, financiers and technical experts.
    • Building channels for dialogue that support commercially viable and policy-aligned decarbonisation pathways.

Why This Webinar Matters

  • Understand CBAM beyond compliance: Assess how CBAM will influence contracts, pricing, procurement expectations, emissions data obligations and long-term competitiveness.
