A landmark achievement in sustainable infrastructure, demonstrating how research, innovation and industry can transform industrial by-products into high-value infrastructure solutions.
This remarkable milestone highlights the innovative use of steel slag in road construction, demonstrating its potential to support sustainable infrastructure, resource conservation and the productive reuse of industrial by-products.
Honoured to have received recognition from Guinness World Records for the World’s Longest Steel Slag Road at Raigarh, Chhattisgarh, developed through the pioneering collaboration of CSIR-CRRI and Jindal Steel Ltd.
The award was conferred in the distinguished presence of Dr. V. K. Saraswat, Dr. N. Kalaiselvi, Shri V. R. Sharma and Shri Sanjay Singh, making this occasion especially memorable and significant.
As the inventor of Steel Slag Road Technology and Project Leader, I am privileged to see years of research and innovation transformed into a world-record infrastructure project.
This milestone demonstrates how industrial steel slag can replace natural aggregates, reduce mining pressure, conserve natural resources and advance India’s circular economy.
My sincere gratitude to the Hon’ble Minister of Science & Technology, Dr. Jitendra Singh ji, and the Honourable Member of Parliament and Chairman of Jindal Steel, Shri Naveen Jindal ji, for their encouragement, vision and support in advancing this landmark achievement.
