Under the Green Steel Initiative, Green Steel Certificates have been issued to how many distinct steel producers up to October 2026?

  1. A.54
  2. B.104
  3. C.204
  4. D.404

Correct answer

B. 104

Explanation

The correct answer is 104. The Ministry of Steel says that under its Green Steel Initiative, Green Steel Certificates have been issued to 104 distinct steel producers across the lists put out up to October 2026. The certification covers TMT bars, hot-rolled and cold-rolled coils, plates, wire rods, pipes and other products, and a large majority of the certified products carry five-star ratings, which the Ministry treats as evidence that lower-emission steelmaking is being adopted more widely. Options A, C and D are not supported anywhere in the review. The scheme is worth remembering alongside the draft National Steel Policy, Vision 2047, because both belong to the same decarbonisation effort, the policy through its emission intensity target and the initiative through star-rated certification of individual products.
