JSW Steel Limited, an Indian basic iron and steel and ferro-alloys producer, reported total Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions of approximately 10.1 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This included about 2.1 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1, 1.1 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 7.0 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3.

JSW Steel is committed to significant climate action, aiming for "Net Zero" carbon emissions by 2050. Near-term targets include reducing specific greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its three Integrated Steel Plants (ISPs) to less than 2.0 tonnes CO2e per tonne of crude steel by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality at JSW Steel Coated Products within the same timeframe. The company also aims to cut its CO2 emission intensity by 42% by 2030, from a 2005 baseline, aligning with India's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) commitment. This reduction will be driven by transitioning to renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency, optimising processes, increasing scrap utilisation, and adopting Best Available Technologies (BAT).
