CARBON COMPETITIVENESS: INDIA AT THE NET ZERO- TRADE NEXUS
India faces significant trade risks as 68% of its exports are sold to countries with net zero targets. The report highlights a critical 'carbon competitiveness' gap, particularly in professional and IT services, where India's embodied emissions are often over 10 times higher than its competitors due to a coal-heavy power grid. While India has made progress in renewable capacity, reaching 50% non-fossil installed capacity by 2025, it remains vulnerable to Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms (CBAMs) in the EU and UK. The report suggests that aligning industrial policy with clean energy and securing international concessional finance are vital for India to challenge China's manufacturing dominance and safeguard millions of export-related jobs.
