Would you know what to do if someone around you faced a medical emergency?

In an emergency, the first few minutes can make all the difference.

At OfBusiness, we believe a safe workplace is one where people are not only looked after but also equipped to look out for one another.

With this in mind, we recently organised a Basic Life Support (BLS) training session for our OfBusiness and Oxyzo teams at our Gurugram office.

From learning CPR to recognising medical emergencies, our teams gained practical skills to respond quickly and confidently when every second counts.

Because caring for our people also means preparing them to care for others.

India is targeting 604 million tonnes of steelmaking capacity by 2047. What's behind this ambition?

India's proposed National Steel Policy – Vision 2047 outlines plans to nearly triple the country's crude steelmaking capacity from around 220 million tonnes today.

But capacity expansion is only one part of the roadmap. The proposed policy also sets out some significant targets:

• 505 million tonnes of finished steel demand by 2047
• 772 million tonnes of iron ore demand
• 23 million tonnes of steel scrap consumption
• 39% reduction in carbon emissions intensity per tonne of crude steel

The roadmap also focuses on securing raw materials, improving logistics, expanding recycling infrastructure and supporting technology upgrades across the secondary steel sector.

For India's steel producers, suppliers and manufacturers, the next two decades will be about more than producing additional steel. Ensuring reliable raw material supplies, improving cost competitiveness and adopting cleaner production methods will be just as important.

🎬 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝟒 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬.

The Green Jacket. More than a recognition - a symbol of excellence, commitment, and a culture of raising the bar. 💚

Inspired by the iconic Green Jacket tradition of Augusta National, we brought The Green Jacket to OfBusiness & Oxyzo Financial Services in April 2026 - celebrating those who go beyond the expected and create an impact that inspires others.

What makes the tradition special? The previous winner honours the next.

With every new jacket, the tradition moves forward - carrying with it the spirit of excellence, ownership, commitment, and continuous growth.

And for the very first reveal, Lokesh Garg, our first-ever OfBian/OXYZian of the Month in 2016, brought the story full circle - connecting a decade-old culture of recognition with a tradition created for the future.

Because the Green Jacket is not just about recognizing excellence. It’s about setting a standard for others to follow. 💚

India’s metal recycling industry could face tighter scrap availability in the coming years.

Under the European Commission’s current draft list, India has not been authorized to receive certain non-hazardous waste exports from the EU. If this remains unchanged, exports of such waste to India would be restricted from 21 May 2027.

The EU says the tighter rules are intended to ensure that exported waste is processed safely and in line with its environmental standards. Non-OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries that want to keep receiving EU waste must show they can manage and process it safely. India has applied to remain eligible.

The impact could be significant because the EU is already an important source of scrap for India. In 2025/26, it accounted for around 20% of India’s aluminium scrap imports, 22% of copper and copper-alloy scrap, 20% of lead scrap, and 40% of zinc scrap.

If these supply routes are disrupted, Indian recyclers may need to source more scrap from alternative markets or rely more on virgin metals, with possible implications for availability and raw-material costs.

India’s Commerce Ministry has said it remains engaged with the EU on the matter, while the proposal is still under consultation. The EU is expected to finalize by the end of 2026 which countries will be allowed to continue receiving these waste exports.
