Rs 47 trn required to decarbonise country's steel, cement plants: Study

India's existing steel and cement plants, which play a vital role in the country's economic development, will require Rs 47 lakh crore in additional capital expenditure (CAPEX) to achieve net-zero carbon emissions, according to a new study.
