Published: Nov 30 2025, 11 ameznews.inIndia's export-driven sectors, particularly aluminium, iron, and steel, are increasingly vulnerable to climate-related risks that threaten their profitability and long-term sustainability, according to a report by global consulting firm BCG. The 'Climate Risk Index 2026' highlights India as one of the top ten countries most affected by extreme weather, with potential GDP erosion of 4.5% by 2030 due to climate-induced events. BCG's estimates suggest that direct climate risks could jeopardize 5% to 25% of global businesses' EBITDA by 2050. The EU's carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) could impact approximately $7.7 billion, or 10-11%, of India's exports to the EU. While many Indian companies are beginning to recognize the climate challenge, with one-third prioritizing climate strategy, a significant portion still lacks adequate risk assessments. The failure of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to adapt to climate risks could disrupt supply chains, affecting large corporates that rely heavily on them.

Published: Nov 30 2025, 10 ameznews.inIndia's rice export landscape is undergoing significant transformation as the government tightens food security measures to ensure domestic availability. In the fiscal year 2024-25, India exported 20.1 million tonnes of rice worth $12.95 billion, solidifying its position as the world's largest rice supplier. However, export restrictions, changing regulations, and price controls are reshaping trade dynamics. The government's focus on food security is driven by unpredictable weather, rising domestic consumption, and inflation, necessitating careful stock management. Consequently, measures such as export bans on non-basmati rice and the implementation of Minimum Export Prices (MEPs) have created uncertainty for exporters, particularly small and medium-sized businesses. Global importers are adapting by diversifying their sourcing strategies, turning to suppliers in Thailand and Vietnam. As India balances domestic needs with its global market role, exporters must navigate a complex regulatory environment to remain competitive.
