APSEZ inaugurates world’s first steel slag road in Hazira Port

In a landmark step for green infrastructure, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) has inaugurated the world’s first steel slag road at any port, setting a new global benchmark in circular economy-led development. Spanning 1.1 km within Hazira Port, this sustainable road connects the Multi-Purpose Berth (MPB-1) to the coal yard. It uses processed steel slag aggregates - a byproduct of steel manufacturing - demonstrating how industrial waste can be repurposed into high-performance, durable infrastructure. The project was developed as part of Phase II of the Bulk and General Cargo Terminal (BGCT) expansion in collaboration with the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research - Central Road Research Institute (CSIR-CRRI) and the Union Ministry of Science and Technology. The road’s flexible pavement design, curated by CSIR-CRRI, enhances load-bearing capacity and longevity while cutting down on construction costs and environmental impact, as per a report.
