AM/NS India First to Secure CSIR-CRRI's Breakthrough Steel Slag Aggregates Technology License to Unlock 'Waste-to-Wealth' Potential in Road Infrastructure Development
NewsVoir New Delhi [India], July 28: ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India) has partnered with the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) - Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) to spearhead the transformative shift towards sustainable infrastructure development by promoting the adoption of steel slag road technology that replaces the usage of natural aggregates with processed steel slag aggregates in road construction. AM/NS India has become the first company in the country to secure the coveted license for steel slag valorisation technology from CSIR - CRRI, a premier national research institution operating under the Ministry of Science & Technology, to produce processed steel slag aggregates for road construction. AM/NS India has received the 'Steel Slag Valorization Technology for Development of Processed EAF Steel Slag Aggregates at AM/NS India plant in Hazira for Utilization in Road Construction' certificate of license, which means the company can apply the special technology developed by CSIR-CRRI to scientifically process steel slag aggregates at the flagship plant in Hazira, Gujarat, for their use in road construction. AM/NS India currently produces specially designed slag under the brand name 'AM/NS Aakar', which meets the CSIR-CRRI's stringent technical guidelines, specifications, and quality control measures. Processed steel slag aggregates produced by AM/NS India under technological license have proven to be more durable and cost-effective than natural aggregates typically used in road and highway constructions. AM/NS India generates about 1.70 million tonnes of steel slag annually, which now can be processed as per the CSIR-CRRI's 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 license, 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." Ranjan Dhar, Director and Vice President, Sales & Marketing at ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India), said, "We are proud to have received the first license of the technology for steel slag valorization used for conversion of steel slag as road-making aggregates. This achievement builds upon our previous involvement in successfully building what is possibly the world's first one-kilometre, six-lane road made from steel slag, which was also recognised by the India Book of Records and the Asia Book of Records. This not only reiterates our commitment to contribute to a circular economy by recycling and reusing by-products from our steelmaking operations but also sets a new benchmark, besides aligning with Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji's mission of 'Waste to Wealth'." Scientifically processed steel slag for roads provides significant advantages over traditional construction materials. The steel slag roads are about 30 to 40 % more cost-effective and can last up to three times longer than standard bitumen roads, reducing repair and maintenance needs. Their strength makes them suitable for various environments, from coastal regions to rugged terrains. Utilisation of unprocessed steel slag in road making poses challenges in durability of roads and can cause environmental impact. To address this, CSIR-CRRI was awarded a national project by the Ministry of Steel, Government of India, to conduct scientific research on the uses of steel slag in road construction, with AM/NS India opting to collaborate for the initiative. As a result, India's first 'all steel slag road' was built in Hazira using specially designed steel slag aggregates in collaboration with the CSIR - CRRI. The road, which was made by replacing natural aggregates in all the layers, was subsequently inaugurated by the then Hon'ble Union Steel Minister Ram Chandra Prasad Singh in 2022. In recent developments, the world's first coastal steel slag road was inaugurated inside a private port at Hazira. Another steel slag road 'NH-53 diamond bourse' in Surat was also developed, which used 'AM/NS Aakar'. Meanwhile, steel slag generation is expected to reach 60 million tonnes by FY 2030, considering the ongoing capacity augmentation in Indian steel plants to produce 300 million tonnes of steel by FY 2030-31. Therefore, the Steel Ministry is promoting the usage of steel slag road technology and actively collaborating with the Ministry of Science & Technology, and Ministry of Road Transport & Highways to facilitate the large-scale utilisation of the industrial by-product. This initiative supports India's circular economy, which is expected to generate a market value of over $2 trillion and create close to 10 million jobs by 2050. ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India) is a joint venture between ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel, two of the world's leading steel manufacturing organisations. A leading integrated flat carbon steel producer in India, the company has a crude steel capacity of 9 million tonnes per annum with state-of-the-art downstream facilities. It produces a fully diversified range of flat steel products, including value-added steel, and has a pellet capacity of 20 million tonnes.

AM/NS India commissions India's first high-strength galvanising line at Hazira
New Delhi: ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India ( AM/NS India ) has commissioned a new Continuous Galvanising Line (CGL) at its integrated steel plant in Hazira, Gujarat, becoming the first company in the country with a facility capable of producing Advanced High-Strength Steel (AHSS) with strength levels up to 1180 megapascals (MPa). The development is part of the company's ongoing ₹60,000 crore expansion project aimed at scaling up its upstream and downstream production capacity. The expansion project was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2022 and targets increasing the Hazira plant's capacity from the current 9 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 15 MTPA, with a future goal of reaching 24 MTPA. The new CGL is designed to manufacture Galvanised (GI) and Galvannealed (GA) coated flat steels, including licensed products from parent companies ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel. These products are aimed at meeting the demand for high-formability and high-strength materials in the domestic automotive industry, especially in view of India's Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE) Phase III norms coming into effect from April 2027. "The commissioning of the first-of-its-kind Continuous Galvanising Line marks another defining moment in our expansion project, inaugurated by the Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji. This ambitious project's efforts are now coming to fruition, and we can proudly say that the new line and upcoming facilities are designed to produce steel that matches the quality of offerings currently available in developed nations," said Dilip Oommen, Chief Executive Officer, AM/NS India. "With the constant support from our parent companies, we have set new benchmarks and further strengthened our ability to deliver world-class products, including the highest-strength steel ever produced in India to meet the evolving needs of the automotive sector. Indigenous production from this unique line will contribute meaningfully towards the country's self-reliance goal,' he added. The new line incorporates environmental technologies including waste heat recovery, advanced thermal energy control, regenerative electrical drives and the use of electrolytic hydrogen. These are expected to reduce CO₂ emissions intensity in line with India's Green Steel Taxonomy and sustainability goals. In addition to Hazira, the company is also progressing plans for new integrated steel plants in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. Land acquisition has commenced in Andhra Pradesh, while planning for the Odisha project is underway. The company said the commissioning strengthens its downstream capacity for value-added steel products and helps reduce reliance on imports of high-grade steel. The facility also supports India's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme and other initiatives to promote domestic manufacturing of specialised steel products.
