markets COST Digital Sustainability Trade country reports India’s EU trade deal faces a costly hurdle due to strict laws

environmental regulations, particularly the carbon tax, deforestation rules, and supply chain due diligence laws are one of the biggest hurdles in the negotiations for a proposed trade pact with India, economic think tank GTRI said on Sunday. It said that these regulations could impose additional costs on Indian exports. Under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), Indian exports of steel, aluminum, and cement to the EU could face tariffs of 20-35 per cent, even if an FTA is signed, the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said in its report. This raises concerns that while EU goods would enter India duty-free, Indian exports would still face these indirect barriers in Europe, it added.

Both nations are desperate for success after recent near-misses in major ODI finals—India falling short in the 2017 Champions Trophy and the 2023 World Cup, while New Zealand suffered heartbreaking defeats in the 2015 and 2019 World Cups. Adding some intrigue to the match is India's campaign, which has been slightly clouded by accusations of an “unfair advantage” due to all of their matches being scheduled at a single venue.

markets Digital SUN Manufacturing RAI country Solar manufacturers demand duty protection from imported ingot, wafer

Indian Solar Manufacturers Association (ISMA) has demanded imposition of safeguard duty on import of polysilicon, ingot and wafer to help protect the domestic solar manufacturing industry from dumping and boost local capabilities. Sunlight is converted into electricity through a process called photovoltaics (PV). This involves several key components working together to harness the energy from the sun. At the core are solar cells, which are made from silicon. These are grouped together and mounted on a solar panel or module which captures sunlight and converts it into direct current (DC) electricity. According to ISMA, India is already self-sufficient in module manufacturing, helped by duty protection measures. Also, significant cell capacities are under ramp-up and the country will be self-sufficient by FY27 in cell manufacturing. «Need of the hour is to shift focus towards capital and energy intensive upstream manufacturing which is currently dependent on China with heavy dumping and price manipulation,» ISMA said in a presentation to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
