India Plans Steel Capacity Expansion with Focus on Emissions Reduction and Energy Transition
India aims to expand its steelmaking capacity significantly by 2047 to support development goals while addressing climate challenges. The National Steel Policy envisions reducing emissions intensity and shifting from coal to cleaner technologies like green hydrogen. However, increasing production may raise total emissions unless energy efficiency and cleaner power use improve. India's future carbon footprint depends on investment choices in infrastructure and industry, balancing growth with sustainable energy consumption amid global climate pressures.
