The country's first six-lane steel slag-based road has been constructed in Surat, Gujarat in December 2023.
This road has been constructed for the road connecting NH-6 to Hazira Port.
Steel slag is produced as solid waste obtained from iron ore during steel production.
Integrated steel plants generate approximately 180 – 200 kg of steel slag for every tonne of steel produced.
This is equivalent to producing approximately 15 million tonnes of steel slag annually.
This road has been constructed by the Central Road Research Organization in collaboration with the Ministry of Steel.
The construction of slag road will help both the Waste to Wealth and Swachh Bharat Mission campaigns run by the government.
