India to Release New National Steel Policy Targeting 600 Million Ton Capacity by 2047
India plans to release a new National Steel Policy within a week, aiming to increase steelmaking capacity to 600 million metric tons by 2047. The policy updates the 2017 framework to address technology upgrades, sustainability, and import controls, including safeguard and anti-dumping duties. It also focuses on supporting smaller steel producers and securing raw materials like iron ore and coking coal. The policy aligns with the government’s Viksit Bharat 2047 vision and will be open for public consultation.
