BALCO has been supplying fly-ash to many cement manufacturers in the vicinity. Fly-ash dispatch via rail is in line with the company’s vision of achieving economies of scale to further its environmental sustainability targets. BALCO has also partnered with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) under their Bharatmala Project for building roads with fly-ash and signed an MoU with VNIT Nagpur for using their green concrete solution for road construction inside the plant, as well as nearby areas. Fly-ash being a voluminous byproduct of thermal power generation, such innovation will not only aid in sustainable construction but also ensure environmental sustainability in the long run.
