“For India to realise its development goals, steel along with its upstream and downstream manufacturing value chains have to grow in tandem. Decarbonisation is a huge challenge which is a key initiative for saving our planet. Steel industry has taken the onus and is committed to decarbonise and reduce its carbon footprints to meet its target in-line with commitments of the Prime Minister of India to the World. The Indian steel industry plays a pivotal role in the nation’s economic landscape, with far-reaching impacts across sectors and society” said Naveen Jindal, the newly elected ISA president.
