India’s cement industry, the world's second-largest producer with an 8 per cent global share, has unveiled a roadmap to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions by 2070. Developed by the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) India in collaboration with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), the roadmap aligns with India’s Net-Zero 2070 target and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).With per capita cement consumption at 257 kg—far below the global average of 540 kg—the sector plays a vital role in the economy, generating 20,000 downstream jobs per million tonnes produced. The roadmap was crafted with input from key stakeholders, including industry leaders, architects, engineers, R&D institutions, and academia.The European Cement Research Academy’s (ECRA) global net-zero framework served as the foundation for quantifying decarbonization levers. The initiative aims to drive sustainable practices and policy support to transition the sector towards a low-carbon future.
