India’s CCTS Phase 2: What Tighter Targets Mean for Each Sector and Why the Next Gazette Notification Matters More Than the First | Reclimatize.in

CCTS Phase 1 (FY2025–27) was calibrated to be achievable establishing MRV infrastructure and market mechanics without significant financial pain. Phase 2, expected from FY2027–28, will align with India’s 2035 NDC intensity trajectory, and for each of the nine covered sectors the compliance cost step-change will be material. Phase 1 was the handshake. Phase 2 is the contract. Companies that have not begun capital allocation for abatement by FY2026 will face the next gazette notification already behind.

CBAM-CCTS Article 9 Deduction: Documentation Requirements for Indian Exporters | Reclimatize.in

Article 9 of the CBAM Regulation allows the carbon price effectively paid in the country of origin to reduce the net CBAM certificate obligation. For Indian exporters with CCTS compliance obligations, this is a material financial provision — but one that requires a precise documentation chain linking production volumes, verified emission data, CCTS registry entries, and CBAM declarations. The deduction is modest in Phase 1 at current CCTS prices but grows as CCTS Phase 2 prices rise. This article maps the mechanics and documentation requirements.

CBAM Transitional Period Lessons: What India’s Quarterly Reports Revealed About Readiness | Reclimatize.in

The CBAM transitional period ended on 31 December 2025. For eight quarters, EU importers of Indian steel, aluminium, and fertilisers submitted quarterly reports using embedded emission data — or the EU’s default values where actual data was unavailable. Analysis of the reporting patterns shows that the majority of EU importers of Indian material used default values, which in most cases significantly overstated the actual emission intensity of Indian production and therefore overstated the CBAM liability. In the definitive period from January 2026, default values are not available for most categories, making the switch to actual verified data not optional.

CBAM Product Classification: Which HS Codes Are Covered, What Is Excluded, and the Common Errors Indian Exporters Make | Reclimatize.in

CBAM does not cover all steel, all aluminium, or all fertilisers. It covers specific goods defined by EU Combined Nomenclature (CN) codes under Annex I of Regulation EU 2023/956. An Indian exporter that misclassifies its products, either including non-covered goods in its CBAM declaration or excluding covered goods faces either unnecessary compliance cost or regulatory violation. This is the practical classification guide that every Indian CBAM compliance officer needs.
