Jindal Steel Builds World's Longest Steel Slag Road, Sets Guinness Record
Jindal Steel Limited, in partnership with CSIR-Central Road Research Institute, set a Guinness World Record by constructing the world's longest road made entirely from processed steel slag aggregates in Raigarh, Chhattisgarh. The 1.85-km four-lane road used around 200,000 tonnes of steel slag, replacing natural aggregates and reducing quarrying. Officials highlighted the project's environmental benefits, cost savings, and its role in promoting circular economy and innovation in infrastructure development.
