India to retaliate if EU imposes carbon tax: Piyush Goyal

07 May 2025 Evaluate

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said that India would impose retaliatory duties if the European Union (EU) goes ahead with its plan to levy a carbon tax on Indian products. Under the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), Indian exports of steel, aluminum, and cement to the EU could face tariffs of 20-35 per cent.

He said that gradually the talks about climate is dwindling and termed the CBAM as ‘very very irrational regulations’. He asserted that the developed countries should share technologies and finances to developing and least developing nations to deal with the issues related to climate change.

He stated ‘If they will put in carbon tax, and now there is a big if for obvious reasons. If they do put it in, we will retaliate. They will put it on products which really will hurt their own economy and the retaliation will further hurt their economy.’ He added ‘I think it will be very silly particularly to put tax on friendly countries. I am in continuous dialogue with them and I am hoping wiser sense will prevail in the EU countries.’
