R. R. Rashmi, Distinguished Fellow at The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), talking to the media on the sidelines of PHDCCI's Carbon Shift India 2026 conference, stated that while large-scale industries possess some technical resilience, smaller units lack both the financial capacity and the reporting framework required by European regulations.
