Game-changing technology

Satish Pandey, Senior Principal Scientist at CSIR-CRRI and inventor of the technology, said, “The steel slag road technology is a game-changer for India’s road infrastructure. The country generates over 19 million tonnes of steel slag annually, and the direct use of untreated steel slag poses a significant risk to the mechanical properties and durability of the steel slag-derived composites. With this licence, AM/NS India – which collaborated with us in building India’s first ‘all steel slag road’ in Hazira – is now being allowed to manufacture, market or sell the specially designed processed steel slag aggregates for road construction.”
