CBAM for steel exporters in India
The European Commission publishes a default emission value for every steel product it covers, per country of origin. Those are the figures your EU buyer is charged on when you supply nothing, and for India this sector has 200 CN codes with a published value. They are all below.
CBAM is paid by the importer, not by you. What reaches you is the price difference between a buyer who has your verified figures and one who does not.

How to pay less than the default
- 1 Find your CN code in the table above and see what the default would cost your buyer.
- 2 Work out your actual specific embedded emissions on the correct functional unit.
- 3 Get the embedded emissions of every precursor from whoever produced it.
- 4 Have the figures verified once accredited verifiers exist, then give them to your importer.
Where steel sits
- Indirect emissions
- In scope. Electricity consumed by the production process counts.
- Mark-up on defaults
- 10% in 2026, rising to 30 per cent from 2028.
- CCTS overlap
- This is also a notified CCTS sector in India, so you may already report to BEE. That reporting does not satisfy CBAM.
- First declaration
- 30 September 2027, filed by your EU importer.
Default values for the other sectors
Questions Indian steel exporters ask
How much does CBAM cost Indian steel exporters?
It is not charged to you. CBAM certificates are surrendered by the importer in the EU. What it costs you is competitiveness: on the highest default value in this sector, 8.58 tCO2e per tonne, a buyer importing 1,000 tonnes pays roughly EUR 710,493 once the 10% mark-up is added. A supplier who provides verified figures lower than the default makes their goods cheaper to import.
What is the CBAM default value for steel from India?
There is no single figure. The Commission publishes a value per CN code, and for steel from India there are 200 of them, ranging from 0.34 to 8.58 tCO2e per tonne of the good, with a median of 4.91. The table on this page lists every one, so the answer for your product depends on which code you export under.
What mark-up applies when default values are used?
For steel it is 10 per cent in 2026, 20 per cent in 2027 and 30 per cent from 2028 onwards. The mark-up exists to make default values the worse option, and it is added on top of a value already set conservatively.
Do I have to include pig iron and other inputs?
Yes. Precursors from the CBAM goods list, such as pig iron going into crude steel, carry their own embedded emissions into yours, and you count the total mass consumed including scrap and offcuts that never reached the finished product. A precursor originating in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland counts as zero. Omitting a precursor is the documented common way embedded emissions get understated.
Does my CCTS or PAT reporting to BEE cover CBAM?
No. CCTS measures greenhouse gas emission intensity at entity level against an Indian target. CBAM measures absolute embedded emissions in specific goods, per production process, on a functional unit the EU regulation sets, and requires the embedded emissions of your precursors as well. The underlying fuel and production records carry across. The calculation, the boundary and the verifier do not.
When do I need this by?
Your EU importer files the first annual declaration on 30 September 2027, covering everything imported during 2026. Their own timetable is earlier than that: certificate sales open on 1 February 2027, and from 2027 they must hold certificates covering at least half their year to date emissions at each quarter end. A buyer without your figures by then is buying against default values.
Can I get my emissions verified now?
Not yet. Verification must be done by a verifier accredited by a national accreditation body in the EU or EEA, and no verifier anywhere in the EU held CBAM accreditation when this was last checked. Preparing the data is still worth doing now, because it is the same data either way and collecting it late is how default values end up being used.
Values read from the European Commission workbook and verified against source on 16 September 2026. The workbook refreshes automatically. Preparation estimate. Not an official CBAM declaration or verification.
