Government targets 600 million tonnes steel capacity under National Steel Policy 2047

The government is aiming to expand India's steel production capacity to 600 million tonnes under the new National Steel Policy 2047. A senior government secretary announced that the draft policy will be placed in the public domain for stakeholder feedback within approximately one week.

The move is part of the government's broader agenda to strengthen domestic steel production and infrastructure. The policy consultation process will allow industry participants, civil society, and other stakeholders to provide input before the final framework is adopted.
