Sustainable construction without compromising on quality

As India continues to experience a surge in infrastructure development, experts are calling for more sustainable practices in construction while emphasising the need for high-quality materials. With an increasing focus on environmental responsibility, the challenge remains to ensure that materials like Thermo-Mechanically Treated (TMT) bars meet both eco-friendly standards and the durability required for long-term infrastructure. The use of recycled steel has become more common in TMT bar production as part of an effort to reduce waste and promote sustainability. However, some manufacturers have been criticised for producing lower-grade bars by using poor-quality scrap steel, which raises concerns about the integrity and safety of buildings. "Sustainability and quality need to go hand in hand," said Kushal Agarwal, Director, Magna TMT. "We’ve seen manufacturers using subpar materials that may reduce environmental impact but compromise the overall durability of construction. This is not the way to build trust with consumers or ensure safe infrastructure."

Magna TMT has taken a unique approach to addressing this issue, sourcing its steel from decommissioned navy ships and fighter jets, known for their resilience under extreme conditions. This high-grade recycled steel is then refined through Magna’s proprietary process to produce TMT bars that exceed industry standards. These bars have been used in several projects, including sustainable initiatives like the MOPA Airport in Goa. "Our focus is on using the best available recycled materials to ensure that sustainability doesn’t come at the cost of quality," Agarwal added. "By sourcing from military-grade steel, we’re ensuring that the end product performs better and lasts longer."

With infrastructure projects across India continuing to rise, experts are advocating for stricter regulations on the quality of recycled materials and encouraging more manufacturers to adopt innovative processes. As more builders look for sustainable solutions, companies like Magna TMT are demonstrating that environmental responsibility and top-tier performance can go hand in hand.
