Summary

The steel industry faces significant cost pressures from coking coal, a bulk fuel that is heavily sourced from imports. To mitigate these expenses, the Ministry of Steel has implemented several strategies to lower import bills, including diversifying coal import destinations, utilizing pellets to reduce coke usage, refining iron ore to boost yield, and optimizing blend compositions. Additionally, the government has provided financial support via a R&D funding scheme specifically designed to help the sector pursue research and development goals, while simultaneously fostering indigenous technological processes that drive sustainable steel manufacturing.
