Jindal Steel has received recognition from the Guinness World Records for constructing the world's longest road using steel slag aggregates.
Steel slag is a waste by-product of the steel manufacturing process.
Jindal Steel Limited, in collaboration with CSIR-Central Road Research Institute (CSIR-CRRI), has achieved a Guinness World Records title for constructing the longest road built exclusively with processed steel slag aggregates at Raigarh in Chhattisgarh, a company statement said Saturday.
Around 2 lakh tonnes of processed steel slag has been used to build the 1.85-km four-lane road, replacing natural aggregates and reducing dependence on quarrying.
Naveen Jindal, Chairman, Jindal Steel Limited, said: "The achievement shows how science, technology and industry can transform industrial co-products into valuable resources for nation-building." India's growth must be powered by innovation that creates economic value while protecting the environment. Waste-to-wealth is one of the focus areas of the government to support the circular economy, Jindal, who is also the President of the industry body Indian Steel Association (ISA), said.
Jitendra Singh, Minister of Science & Technology, Government of India, said the road is a strong demonstration of India's ability to translate scientific innovation into practical infrastructure solutions.
