The stainless steel long products producer, operating under the Bajaj Group, has formalized its environmentally focused manufacturing approach with this certification.
Under the certification granted by the National Institute of Secondary Steel Technology NISST, the company’s black bar products received a 5 Star rating, while wire rod and bright bar products were awarded a 4 Star rating. The certification process was conducted through an independent audit carried out by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry FICCI within the framework of the Government of India’s Green Steel Taxonomy. During the audit, Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and production data at the company’s Thane facility were examined in detail.
During the reporting period, approximately 58% of the facility’s electricity demand was met through renewable energy sources. The company continues to work toward its target of transitioning to 100% renewable energy use through a hybrid solar wind energy model. A comprehensive energy efficiency program implemented across the facility aims to optimize energy consumption and improve environmental performance.
In its statement, the company emphasized that efforts to reduce its carbon footprint are ongoing through the integration of energy efficient processes, responsible resource management and systematic monitoring of emissions. It also emphasized that green steel has critical importance for sustainable infrastructure and the manufacturing industry.
Mukand Limited Chief Executive Officer Neeraj Kant stated that the Green Steel Certificate marks an important milestone in the company’s sustainability roadmap and noted that investments to strengthen environmentally responsible production will continue.
