Can the Indian steel industry Join the Hydrogen revolution?

If India wants to retain the edge as one of the leading steel producers globally, the Government should provide incentives through policies for adoption of hydrogen.

Steel has been the backbone of the Indian economy since Independence. India produced 111 Million tonnes (Mt) of steel in 2018, becoming the second-largest steel producer in the world after China. According to the National Steel Policy, 2017, India’s annual steel production will reach 300 Mt by 2030.
