Tata Steel and Other Leading Indian Firms Join Sweden's Innovators on Decarbonisation of Steel and Cement Sectors

As per news reports, India has kicked off 7 collaborative projects with leading Swedish technology innovators to accelerate decarbonisation in the steel and cement sectors, marking a major push toward the country’s 2070 net-zero vision. 

India–Sweden Partnership Backs Seven Feasibility Projects 

The new initiatives have been launched under the Lead IT industry transition partnership, supported by funding from the Department of Science and Technology and the Swedish Energy Agency.  

Each project will conduct pre-pilot feasibility studies aimed at deploying cleaner, future-ready industrial processes across India’s hard-to-abate sectors. 

These projects focus on breakthrough pathways such as adopting hydrogen in rotary kilns for steelmaking, recycling steel slag to produce low-carbon cement, and integrating AI-driven systems to support emission reduction in cement production.  

The combined effort aligns with India’s broader decarbonisation roadmap as it expands infrastructure and industrial capacity. 

Industry and Research Leaders Join the Decarbonisation Drive 

Several major Indian and global companies are participating in these initiatives, including Tata Steel, JK Cement, Ambuja Cements, Jindal Steel, Prism Johnson and Cemvision, alongside Swedish technology specialists Kanthal and Swerim.  

They are supported by top Indian academic institutions such as IIT Bombay, IIT-ISM Dhanbad, IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT Hyderabad and Datta Meghe College of Engineering, reinforcing the programme with research depth and engineering expertise.
