India to Launch Rs 5,000 Crore Scheme to Promote Green Technologies in Steel Sector
The Indian government plans to launch a Rs 5,000 crore scheme called the National Strategy for Sustainable Secondary Steel within three months to promote clean technologies in steelmaking. The initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions from the steel sector, which contributes 10-12% of the country's greenhouse gases with higher emission intensity than the global average. The scheme will support all steel producers, with a significant portion of funds allocated to smaller secondary players, aligning with India's net-zero commitments under the Paris Agreement.
