RAHSTA Awards 2026 Opens Nominations for Smart Road Innovations

RAHSTA Awards 2026 has announced nominations for the Materials and Technology categories, recognising the innovations reshaping India’s road and highway infrastructure sector.

With growing emphasis on sustainability, durability, digitalisation and safety, modern road infrastructure increasingly relies on advanced materials and intelligent technologies. The awards aim to celebrate organisations developing next-generation solutions for road construction, pavement performance, digital project management and smart mobility.

The awards will be presented during RAHSTA 2026, scheduled on July 8–9, 2026 at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai.

Organised by the FIRST Construction Council in association with ASAPP Info Global Group, the event brings together stakeholders from across the roads, highways, bridges and tunnels ecosystem.

The Materials category includes:

  1. Most Innovative Road Construction Material
  2. Best Sustainable/Low-Carbon Material for Roads
  3. Best Pavement Technology (Asphalt/Concrete)
  4. Best Use of Recycled Materials in Roads
  5. Best Performance-Enhancing Additive (Bitumen/Concrete)

The Technology category includes:
