Increase use of scrap in production: Union Minister Kulaste to steel makers

Union Minister Faggan Singh Kulaste on Thursday directed the domestic seel industry to increase use of scrap in their production, underscoring that carbon emission is a serious concern. India uses 30 million tonne (MT) scrap annually to manufacture steel, out of which 26 MT is generated domestically and remaining through imports. Currently, India's overall steel production stands at around 120 MT. "Carbon emissions are a concern.... the steel sector must increase use of scrap in their steel production," he said at CII Steel Summit 2022 here.

"We believe that the latest measure will help pull up the industry's profits from the second quarter lows as companies now get the freedom to explore overseas markets, depending on the pricing environment," the expert said. SteelMint India also termed the government's decision of withdrawing export duty on steel and raw material as a positive move for the industry.
