Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spotlighted carbon capture technology as a game-changer for India’s steel sector, sharing an insightful article on how innovation can power the industry’s next big transformation. Emphasizing the importance of sustainable growth, the Prime Minister noted that strategic investments in carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), along with green hydrogen initiatives, can significantly reduce emissions while enhancing India’s global competitiveness. The move aligns with India’s ambitious Net Zero 2070 target and vision of building a Viksit Bharat through climate-responsible industrial expansion.
The government has already signaled strong backing for this transition, with a major financial push to accelerate CCUS adoption across core sectors including steel, cement and power. By integrating advanced carbon management technologies, India aims to modernize its high-emission industries, safeguard export potential amid evolving global carbon regulations, and position itself as a leader in clean manufacturing. The initiative marks a decisive step toward balancing economic growth with environmental responsibility in one of the country’s most crucial industries.
