India has entered into a strategic partnership with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to enhance cooperation in green steel and high-grade aluminium production. This collaboration is part of the India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) and focuses on sustainable metallurgy, clean energy integration, and supply chain resilience. Key public sector enterprises such as SAIL, NMDC, and MECON are involved in facilitating trade, engineering, and material sourcing, with operational offices already established in Dubai. The UAE’s clean energy infrastructure and strategic trade location make it an ideal partner for India’s ambition to scale sustainable industrial growth and meet its 2030 steel production targets.
