This strategic initiative aims to empower Indian exporters, especially Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the iron and steel sectors, with seamless CBAM compliance and uninterrupted trade with the European Union.
The ceremonial launch was attended by Mr. Abhay Sinha, Director General, SEPC, and Mr. Nilesh Bhattad, Founder and CEO of Cleancarbon.ai and other members from SPEC and Cleancarbon team.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Manish Dabkara, panel head of the SEPC Environmental Services, stated, “CBAM signals a shift in global trade norms. The Carbon Cell is poised to help lakhs of MSMEs, especially in the iron and steel sector. CBAM compliance ensures uninterrupted business with the EU. It’s an opportunity to lead with sustainability and redefine our export edge. Indian exporters must align with low-carbon practices to stay resilient, and relevant in the EU market.” He emphasized the need for timely and accessible resources for exporters as global carbon regulations become stricter.
