IIndia’s Steel Scrap and EAF Expansion: The Economics of Secondary Steelmaking Under CCTS and CBAM | Reclimatize.in

India’s electric arc furnace route emits 1.2 to 1.4 tCO₂ per tonne of steel on the national grid against 2.2 to 2.5 tCO₂ per tonne for blast furnace production. With 41 million tonnes of scrap consumed annually, Tata Steel’s Ludhiana EAF inaugurated in March 2026, and JSW’s Kadapa greenfield under construction, the shift to secondary steelmaking is gaining commercial momentum. CCTS and CBAM together create a financial incentive structure that makes the direction of travel clear, even as domestic scrap availability remains the binding constraint through 2030.

India’s Dedicated Freight Corridors: The Economics and Carbon Case After WDFC Completion | Reclimatize.in

On 31 March 2026, DFCCIL completed the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor’s final 102 km section, making the full 2,843 km electrified DFC network operational. With rail costing Rs 1.96 per tonne-km against road’s Rs 3.78 and emitting 89% less CO₂ per tonne-km than trucks, the corridors represent India’s most consequential freight decarbonisation infrastructure and the most credible answer to the country’s
7.97% of GDP logistics cost burden.

India’s Green Steel Taxonomy: What Gazette Notification 763E Requires and How Producers Qualify | Reclimatize.in

India’s Green Steel Taxonomy notified under Gazette Notification 763E establishes four emission intensity thresholds that define what counts as green steel in Indian policy and procurement. The taxonomy sets the framework for the BIS green steel certification standard, the government’s green procurement mandate, and the eventual linkage to green bond eligibility under India’s sovereign green bond framework. This analysis maps the four tiers, the measurement methodology, and what steel producers need to do to qualify.

Rail vs. Road: The Modal Shift Decision for India’s Industrial Shippers and What Supply Chain Decarbonisation Means for Logistics Strategy | Reclimatize.in

India’s rail network emits 11.5 grams of CO₂ per tonne-km versus 101 grams by road — an 89% reduction in transport emission intensity, confirmed by the Ministry of Railways citing NITI Aayog data. Rail also costs Rs 1.96 per tonne-km against Rs 3.78 for road (DPIIT-NCAER September 2025 — the first systematic study of India’s logistics costs). The break-even distance for multimodal transport over pure road is 600 km with 50 km first/last-mile each side. Yet road carries approximately 65 to 70% of India’s freight. This article maps the cost and carbon case for modal shift, why the break-even dynamics matter specifically for steel, cement, and fertiliser shippers, and how the Dedicated Freight Corridors change the economics for the industrial corridors that matter most.
