India Will Play Key Role in Global Steel Decarbonization: World Steel Association

A senior executive from the World Steel Association recently stated that India will play an essential role in the global decarbonization of the steel industry. As India pursues its ambitious goal of reaching 300 million tons of steel capacity by 2030, its contribution to global emission efforts is expected to grow significantly.

The steel sector currently accounts for 7–9% of global CO₂ emissions, and India’s reliance on coal-based production makes a clean energy transition urgent. The statement underscores growing international expectations for India to lead on sustainable steelmaking.

This comes as part of a broader push for green transformation across heavy industries worldwide.
