India's steel industry is poised for significant growth, targeting a production capacity of 300 million tonnes by 2030, leading to increased coking coal imports. Current imports, meeting 90% of demand, are projected to rise to 135 million tonnes by 2030.

The government aims to boost domestic coal production to reduce reliance on imports. The sector's emissions, responsible for 12% of national greenhouse gases, highlight the urgent need for cleaner technologies. A collaborative effort between industry and government is essential for enhancing supply security and achieving sustainability goals.
