India's steel industry, a significant global producer, is evolving towards sustainability to address environmental concerns and ensure long-term competitiveness. With the National Steel Policy setting ambitious goals for growth while minimizing energy consumption and emissions, the sector focuses on adopting greener practices. Waste Heat Recovery Systems (WHRS) are helping plants convert waste heat into energy, reducing dependency on external sources. Recycling steel scrap is promoted to cut emissions and energy use, with a policy in place to increase domestic scrap availability. Water conservation measures and renewable energy integration, including green hydrogen exploration, are becoming key strategies to lower water usage and emissions. The industry's progress showcases how sustainable practices can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and elevate global reputation, proving economic development and environmental responsibility can coexist for a greener future.
