EU waste proposal would ban India from importing bloc's metal scrap

The European Union has proposed a new waste management policy that would restrict India's imports of metal scrap from the bloc. This means that starting May 2027, India will face import restrictions on EU metal waste, primarily affecting aluminium scrap shipments. The move is significant for India's economy, as it relies heavily on importing metal scrap to fuel its manufacturing sector. This restriction could lead to increased costs and supply chain disruptions for Indian industries that rely on these imports.

Why it matters

The EU's proposed ban on metal scrap exports to India could harm India's metal industry and economy. This could lead to increased trade tensions between the EU and India.
