India's steel exports are facing challenges due to the European Union's carbon tax and import quotas, according to federal steel secretary Sandeep Poundrik. Despite a recent trade deal that reduced tariffs, the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism remains in place, impacting exports significantly. Indian steel mills, which export two-thirds of their products to Europe, may need to seek alternative markets in Africa and the Middle East as exports to Europe are expected to decline.
