SURAT: In a first, Surat in Gujarat has developed roads made out of steel waste. Built by Arcelor Mittal Nippon Steel India, the research project is an initiative of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and the Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) and supported by NITI Aayog and the Ministry of Steel, Government of India.

The road not only utilizes industrial waste that would otherwise go to landfills, but is also sturdier and more durable. The pilot road at Hazira Industrial Area, Surat is a kilometer long and has six lanes. The steel road is being touted as an environmentally sustainable, potential replacement for road construction material.
