Nakoda TMT in the Sustainability Index of India’s Top Manufacturers

Nakoda TMT (part of Shree Nakoda Ispat Limited), based in Chhattisgarh, is recognized across India for its high‑quality TMT steel bars produced using TEMPCORE technology and efficient integrated steelmaking processes While the company is widely known for strength, weldability, and earthquake resistance in their products, transparency around its environmental performance has been limited.
According to DitchCarbon—an independent sustainability benchmarking platform—Nakoda Group of Industries Limited (parent to Nakoda TMT) scores a 4 on a carbon‑action scale where the industry average is 15. That means Nakoda’s rating is higher than about 55% of comparable companies, but still low in absolute terms This publicly available index result signals that Nakoda is not heavily engaged in measurable carbon reduction initiatives, nor does it currently participate in recognized climate disclosure frameworks like the Race to Net Zero Unlike larger steel producers who publish comprehensive ESG or sustainability reports, Nakoda has not disclosed emissions figures or long‑term reduction targets.
Despite its technological edge and use of Direct Hot Charging and TEMPCORE—which help cut energy consumption and reduce wastage compared to conventional re‑heating furnace steelmaking—these process improvements are primarily positioned as quality or operational efficiencies rather than explicit steps toward sustainability positioning
In the broader context, India’s TMT/bar manufacturers are under rising pressure to enhance environmental accountability. Government infrastructure growth and increasing per‑capita steel use invite greater scrutiny of lifecycle impacts in construction materials
Bottom line: Nakoda TMT demonstrates solid manufacturing strength but lags in formal sustainability credentials, with limited public disclosure of emissions or climate strategy. Its DitchCarbon score places it mid‑tier among Indian manufacturers.
