One firm files the report and talks to your buyer. The other hands you a slide deck and trains your team to do it. Here's the calm, honest comparison.
A named expert files your CBAM. India's best engine works underneath.
Owner-operated Indian exporters who want CBAM off their plate.
Strategy slides, training and policy advice.
Companies with an in-house ESG / sustainability lead.
GreenSutra is good at explaining CBAM. After a week of slides, your team still has to chase suppliers, parse electricity bills, calculate emissions, generate the XML, and reply to your EU buyer. CarbonSettle does all of that for you — with one named expert who answers your phone.
“Indian factory owners don't need another training. They need someone to take the report off their desk.”
And because every CarbonSettle report is pre-verified by a top-3 EU auditor, your buyer's declarant accepts actuals from day one — the regulatory mechanism behind 30–40% lower CBAM tax on the same shipment.

One person owns your file end-to-end — visits your plant, collects from handwritten logs, chases suppliers in their language, replies to your buyer's declarant in English. No project handovers.
AI fills the report from chat, ERP, voice notes, or photos of bills. 24×7 batch tracking ranks every cost-reduction lever in ₹/tCO₂ — beyond compliance, into pricing intelligence.
A top-3 EU auditor pre-verifies every report. Your buyer's declarant uses your actuals on day one. The documented India HRC scenario saves about Rs 96 L per 1,000 t.
Each written for an Indian exporter, not a Brussels sustainability team.
