NITI Aayog releases three reports on green transition in cement, aluminium and MSME sectors
- NITI Aayog released three sectoral decarbonisation roadmaps on 21 January 2026 covering cement, aluminium, and MSME sectors — three of India's hardest-to-abate industrial segments.
- Reports align two competing national goals: USD 30 trillion Viksit Bharat by 2047 (manufacturing share to rise from 17% to 25% of GDP) and net-zero by 2070.
- Examinable as a NITI Aayog publication intersecting GS-III (Indian economy, environment, infrastructure) and a likely Prelims hook on sector-specific decarbonisation levers (RE-RTC, CCUS).
