Calculate Embedded Emissions for Unwrought Aluminium (HS7601)

Enter your input

Payable emissions (tCO₂e/t)

Total CBAM Cost (€)

Notes:
There may be a difference when calculating the price with respect to import volume, carbon price, and benchmark emissions, as the embedded formula may result in minor variations due to decimal rounding. Therefore, the actual value may vary.

CBAM is applicable to trade volumes starting from 50 metric tonnes. For trade volumes below 50 metric tonnes, CBAM does not apply.

Usage Procedure – How to use the CBAM Calculator Sheet

Enter or update values only in the INPUT
PARAMETERS section (Highlighted in blue) , including
the carbon price, benchmark emissions, CBAM
chargeable percentage (as per the phase-in year),
and imported quantity.

The system will automatically calculate the payable
emissions and the total CBAM cost (€) based on the
inputs provided.

Notes:
• Change any input value to automatically update CBAM cost.
• Formula used: Carbon price × payable emissions × quantity.
• Model aligned with CBAM supplier-side illustrative methodology.

The aluminium industry seeks the extension of RoDTEP scheme to ease export burden

EDITED BY : PRERANA PRADHAN 2MINS READ

The Federation of Indian Mineral Industries (FIMI) has urged the Indian government to extend the RoDTEP scheme to aluminium exporters, highlighting the financial stress faced by domestic producers. FIMI has submitted the request to ensure a level playing field in global markets.

The RoDTEP scheme offers refunds on embedded central, state and local taxes that are not currently reimbursed through other means. Until February 2025, aluminium units operating under Advance Authorisation (AA), Export Oriented Units (EOUs), and Special Economic Zones (SEZs) were eligible. The scheme aims to support export competitiveness by offsetting unclaimed taxes.

The call for extension comes after the Aluminium Association of India (AAI) stressed the importance of this benefit. FIMI appreciated the Ministry’s progressive policy measures but, in its submission to Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal, stressed that ending RoDTEP coverage after 5 February 2025 would place Indian aluminium producers at a cost disadvantage, limiting their global competitiveness.

FIMI also highlighted that delay in resuming RoDTEP coverage has led to significant losses for aluminium exporters. These include financial strain, reduced global competitiveness and confusion around policy direction. Industry bodies are awaiting prompt clarification from the government.

In a recent appeal to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, AAI noted that aluminium exporters bear heavy tax burdens. These taxes, both central and state, can make up nearly 10 per cent of total production costs.

Industry leaders insist that continued policy support under RoDTEP is vital to maintain momentum. AAI has stressed that extending the scheme will help strengthen the sector’s export performance and long-term viability.
