India is working on a plan to reduce carbon emissions from its steel industry by around 25%, as part of its broader efforts to decarbonise one of the country’s most energy-intensive sectors.

The steel sector is a major contributor to industrial emissions, and the proposed reduction is expected to be achieved through improved energy efficiency, greater use of cleaner technologies, and a gradual shift towards low-carbon production methods.

Officials said the initiative aligns with India’s long-term climate commitments and its goal of balancing rapid industrial growth with environmental sustainability. The focus will also be on promoting greener manufacturing practices without affecting production capacity or economic expansion.

The move is seen as a significant step toward transforming the steel industry into a more sustainable and climate-resilient sector in the coming years.
