Viraj Profiles has highlighted its ongoing decarbonisation journey, emphasizing a circular manufacturing model, renewable energy adoption, and resource-efficient operations to build a more sustainable stainless steel business. The company stated that sustainability is deeply integrated into its production strategy, with approximately 95% of its metallic input sourced from recycled stainless-steel scrap, significantly reducing reliance on virgin raw materials and lowering carbon emissions.
A key pillar of Viraj's strategy is its scrap-based stainless steel production route, which supports circular economy principles while reducing mining intensity, energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. The company also continues to expand its renewable energy footprint through solar and wind power investments, aiming to further reduce the carbon intensity of its operations.
Viraj's decarbonisation roadmap aligns with India's evolving green steel vision, which prioritizes energy efficiency, scrap utilization, emissions reduction, and sustainable industrial growth. The company believes that low-carbon manufacturing will become increasingly important as global markets adopt stricter environmental standards and carbon-related trade measures. By combining recycled raw materials, renewable energy integration, and continuous operational efficiency improvements, Viraj aims to strengthen its position as a responsible stainless steel producer while enhancing its competitiveness in international markets. The initiative reflects the growing industry-wide shift toward greener and more sustainable steel manufacturing practices.
