 ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AMNS India) has achieved a significant industry milestone by becoming the first integrated steel manufacturer to receive a green steel certification under India’s official green taxonomy framework. This certification, issued by the Ministry of Steel, validates AMNS India's commitment to sustainable steel production.

The certification covers two key facilities: the blast furnace at Hazira and the electric arc furnace at Odisha. The Ministry assessed both operations against stringent decarbonization and efficiency benchmarks outlined by the Indian Green Credit Programme.

This recognition positions AMNS India at the forefront of India's clean energy transition in heavy industry. The company is actively deploying low-carbon technologies, improving energy efficiency, and integrating renewable power into its operations.

As industries worldwide pivot toward greener practices, AMNS India’s green steel certification sets a new benchmark for environmental responsibility in Indian manufacturing. It also reinforces India’s push to lead in sustainable industrial growth aligned with global climate goals.
