India Plans to Boost Steel Scrap Use for Sustainable Growth and Emission Reduction

India aims to increase steel scrap usage to support sustainable growth, reduce emissions, and meet expanding steel production targets. The government is finalizing a new National Steel Scrap Recycling Policy to replace 2019 guidelines, targeting a rise in scrap share to the global average of 31%. Industry stakeholders urge budget support, including GST reforms, to boost scrap use and green steel transition. Scrap availability is expected to grow with infrastructure and industrial asset recycling, aiding India’s net-zero commitment by 2070.
