Mukand Limited, a manufacturer of stainless steel long products and a part of the Bajaj Group, has been awarded the Green Steel certification.
The certification, awarded by the National Institute of Secondary Steel Technology (NISST), recognizes Mukand Limited’s continued efforts to adopt environmentally responsible manufacturing practices and reduce its carbon footprint. The independent audit, conducted by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) under the Government of India’s Green Steel Taxonomy, involved rigorous verification of Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions, plant energy consumption, and production data at the company’s Thane facility.
During the reporting period, approximately 58% of the plant’s electricity requirement was met through renewable energy sources, supporting Mukand Limited’s strategy to progressively increase clean energy adoption and reduce lifecycle emissions. The company is actively working towards transitioning to 100% renewable power through a hybrid solar–wind energy model, while a comprehensive energy efficiency program is currently being implemented across the plant to further optimize energy consumption and enhance overall sustainability performance.
“Receiving the Green Steel certification is an important step in our sustainability roadmap. It reflects our long-term commitment to environmentally conscious manufacturing and our responsibility toward future generations. We will continue to invest in technologies and practices that support a cleaner and more sustainable future,” said Mr. Neeraj Kant, Chief Executive Officer, Mukand Limited.
