India and UAE Partner to Boost Green Steel and Aluminum Industries

India and the UAE have launched a new strategic partnership aimed at advancing green steel and high-grade aluminum production. This collaboration is part of the broader India–UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), designed to foster sustainable industrial growth.

During a recent high-level meeting, India’s Steel Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy and UAE Economy Minister Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri outlined plans to enhance cooperation in clean materials crucial for sectors like automotive, infrastructure, and mobility.

The UAE’s robust clean-energy capabilities and export infrastructure will support India’s ambitious target of producing 300 million tonnes of steel annually by 2030. A key part of the partnership includes securing critical raw materials, such as low-silica limestone, and developing efficient supply chains.

To facilitate this, major Indian public sector companies—SAIL, NMDC, and MECON—have opened offices in Dubai to pursue mining ventures, industrial consultancy, and logistics integration.

A joint working group will be formed to coordinate policy alignment, promote innovation, and explore joint ventures in green steel and aluminum technologies.

This move marks a significant shift in India-UAE relations—from a trade-centric model to a deep strategic alliance focused on sustainable development and economic transformation.
