400 delegates from Finland, Brazil, South Africa... that's impressive! But I hope our local steel workers and small-scale producers are also involved in these discussions. Sustainability should include social sustainability too.
Finally some serious talk about green steel in central India! Chhattisgarh produces a large chunk of India's steel, and if we don't adopt clean tech, exports will suffer. Good to see CM Vishnu Deo Sai prioritizing this. 💪
The global steel industry is moving towards decarbonization, and India cannot afford to lag. Having international delegates from Finland and Sweden shows that we're serious about learning global best practices. Just hope the outcomes are actionable and not just filled with lofty talks.
Good move. But I'm a bit skeptical—these summits are often just a talking shop. The real test will be whether small and mid-size steel plants in Chhattisgarh get financial support to switch to greener methods. Otherwise, it's just an elite get-together.
As someone from Raipur, I'm proud our city is hosting such an international event! The exposure for local industries and the push for greener mining practices is exactly what we need. Kudos to CII for organizing this. 👏✨
It's encouraging to see India take green steel seriously.
