CBAM · Indian exporters
Your EU buyer needs your emissions data.
The EU carbon border adjustment (CBAM) has applied in full since 1 January 2026. Your EU buyer declares the embedded emissions of the steel, aluminium, cement and fertilizers it imports from this year, buys CBAM certificates to cover them from February 2027, and files its first annual declaration by 30 September 2027. Without verified actual data from your installation, it must use default values, which include a mark-up (for iron and steel goods, 10% in 2026, rising to 30% from 2028) and often cost it more certificates than your plant’s real figures would.

Per installation, per year, excluding GST. For iron and steel goods today: pig iron, direct reduced iron, crude steel and iron or steel products; aluminium, cement and fertilizers are not yet available. Includes the filled communication template with every input and factor recorded, named-person review, and your submission kept on file. Five business days from complete production data; released once the invoice is paid.
Preparation support, not verification or certification. One fixed fee, published here: you do not need a sales call to learn it.
What your own data saves your EU buyer against India's default values: two worked examples, and a cost estimator for your product.

Filled EU CBAM communication template
The official installation-level workbook your EU buyer's declarant files from. Computed to CBAM methodology: production routes, precursors and direct emissions, with your electricity data recorded (iron and steel goods carry no CBAM cost for indirect emissions).
Summary emissions report, with the free allocation
The operator's summary report the definitive period asks for (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2547, Annex IV), in English. Every item is numbered as the Annex numbers it, including the specific embedded free allocation your buyer's declarant deducts, computed from the CBAM benchmarks of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2620.
What your data saves your buyer
Shown when you submit, as an estimate: certificates per tonne on your data against India's default values, free allocation deducted on both sides, and what the difference is worth per 1,000 tonnes at the certificate price the European Commission publishes. The case for sending your buyer actual data.
Every input recorded
The workbook carries the production route, source streams, emission factors and precursors you supplied, so an accredited verifier can see where each number came from. The free allocation figures are in the summary report.
Your data is kept on file
In the definitive period your EU buyer declares once a year, by 30 September for the previous year. We keep your installation submission, the filled template and the summary report, and the template and report stay downloadable from your workspace, where you sign in with your email.
Named-person review
A named reviewer signs off before anything reaches your buyer. The same gate our EU VSME reports go through.
Why us
The official-template discipline, again.
Our EU VSME reports are built the same way: the official EFRAG VSME template, XBRL checked by machine against EFRAG’s taxonomy, and a named reviewer before release. CBAM is the same shape of problem: an official EU workbook, filled in correctly and defensibly, for the exporters the obligation lands on.
The calculation is checked against the European Commission’s own worked examples for the CBAM communication template, a blast-furnace and an electric-arc steel installation: every source stream and the waste-gas correction match the Commission’s workbooks to within 0.01 tonnes of CO2e, and the specific embedded emissions to five decimal places. Up to ten production processes at one site are handled, and bought precursors such as pig iron, ferro-alloys or wire rod are counted at your supplier’s verified figure or the official default value.
Is this verification or certification?
No. We prepare the installation-level dataset and the filled communication template; accredited third-party verification is a separate step CBAM requires from EU-recognised verifiers. The template we fill in records every input and factor, so the verifier can trace each number, but we do not certify anything ourselves.
What happens if we just ignore CBAM requests?
Your EU buyer's declarant falls back to default values, which include a mark-up, and it will often need more CBAM certificates for your goods than for a competitor that supplies verified actual data. Over time that is a pricing disadvantage in the EU market.
Why do you publish the price?
Published fixed fees are how we sell every product, including our EU sustainability reports. You should not need three calls to learn a price.
Which sectors do you cover?
Iron and steel goods today: pig iron, direct reduced iron, crude steel and iron or steel products, including downstream goods such as fasteners. Aluminium, cement and fertilizers follow demand: tell us your sector on the founding list and it shapes the build order.
What are the founding terms?
The first ten exporters get Rs 49,999 per installation for year one (list price Rs 75,000), price locked for renewal in year two. Both exclude GST. In exchange we ask for feedback calls during preparation and, if the report lands well, a reference.
How do we pay?
By invoice. The wizard shows the price before you submit, and you accept it with the terms; nothing is charged online. We email you an invoice, a named reviewer checks the data pack, and the pack is released to you once the invoice is paid.
