Tech to decarbonise challenging sectors
Mint Bangalore
|September 12, 2025
A host of new technologies, robust government policy to back them, and green financing to securely tie-in everything into returns for investors is needed to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors in India such as steel and cement, a panel of experts said at the Mint Sustainability Summit in New Delhi recently.
The panel comprised steel industry veterans Sanjay Kumar Singh, former secretary in the steel ministry and currently the director of strategy and external relations, Jindal Steel; and Arvind Bodhankar, chief sustainability officer, Arcelor Mittal Nippon Steel India.
No single technology can be the "silver bullet" to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors, said Bodhankar, adding that there are multiple solutions available. "You need to have a technology, you need to have a policy and you need financing. On the policy side, we are moving in the right direction," he said.
