IEEFA research reveals India's steel sector possesses transformative potential to reduce massive import vulnerabilities through strategic green hydrogen deployment. JSW Steel's Vijayanagar facility demonstrates commercial viability, producing green hydrogen at $4.67 per kilogram while achieving 70% emission reductions compared to traditional blast furnace operations. The sector's transition toward 5 million metric tons annual hydrogen requirement by 2030 strengthens energy security while supporting domestic renewable energy development across multiple industrial applications.
