In response to the growing need for sustainable infrastructure, Ammann India, a pioneer in road building technology, hosted its Asphalt Recycling Seminar in the financial capital, Mumbai. The event brought together industry leaders, technical experts, and partners to explore the role of cutting-edge recycling technologies in shaping the future of eco-conscious road construction in India.As India accelerates its transition towards greener infrastructure, the importance of circular construction practices, particularly in road development, has never been more relevant. The seminar aimed to address a critical industry need to equip stakeholders with the technical knowledge and strategic clarity to translate sustainability goals into actionable, on-ground outcomes. From insightful keynotes and technical deep dives to engaging panel discussions, the seminar showcased the future of road construction with RAP (Recycled Asphalt Pavement) especially in context with its usage for Indian roads. The event provided a collaborative platform to highlight emerging trends, share best practices, and address common misconceptions surrounding asphalt recycling and sustainable road building.Key topics discussed at the event included material management, temperature control, and binder rejuvenation, backed by real-world case studies proving RAP roads can match or exceed conventional durability. Experts also highlighted the importance of rejuvenating agents for effective binder integration and emphasized the need for standardized regulations, skill development, and better procurement practices to scale recycling in India.Addressing the gathering, Dheeraj Panda, Managing Director, Ammann India, underlined the significance of sustainable innovation in shaping the future of road infrastructure. “With both global and Indian markets shifting decisively towards sustainable construction practices, technologies like asphalt recycling have become the need of the hour. At Ammann, our 150-year legacy of innovation drives us to deliver future-forward solutions that not only meet evolving industry demands but also reduce carbon emissions and reliance on virgin resources. We’re proud to lead the way in India by enabling up to 100% use of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), a testament to our commitment to environmental stewardship and cost-efficiency. As the government champions greener highways, our advanced recycling technologies are poised to play a pivotal role in making this vision a reality.Other prominent voices at the event included Dr Ambika Behl (F.I.E), Senior Principal Scientist, CSIR-CRRI, and Prof Dharamveer Singh, Civil Engineering Professor at IIT Bombay, alongside Martinho Fernandes, AVP & Product Head – Asphalt Plants, Ammann India. Their contributions offered nuanced insights into overcoming technical and operational challenges in the field.Currently, RAP usage in India remains relatively low—typically below 30%. Ammann is committed to raising this significantly, aiming to scale adoption up to 60% and even 100%, which not only supports sustainability but also delivers substantial cost and time savings in line with India's broader infrastructure development goals.The event concluded with a united call for industry collaboration, research, and actionable implementation, reinforcing Ammann India’s leadership in delivering smart, sustainable, and technologically advanced road-building solutions that are aligned with national priorities.
