Government official Ashwini Kumar emphasized the need for the Indian steel industry to accelerate decarbonisation, enhance technology and research, and diversify export markets to stay competitive amid evolving global trade conditions.

With India's steel production capacity at 220 million tonnes and rising domestic demand, Kumar viewed these challenges as opportunities to modernize the sector through innovation and digital transformation.
