Indian and Norwegian research organisations identified two or three possible joint research proposals at a November 10 meeting in New Delhi, India’s Ministry of Science and Technology said on November 11. The meeting brought together India’s Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Norway’s SINTEF and the Research Council of Norway, alongside regulators and industry representatives.

Participants considered how demolition debris and industrial by-products such as steel slag could be used in construction materials. The ministry said processing, common standards and commercial viability were among the issues discussed. It described the research proposals as priorities for future collaboration and gave no funding commitments or construction timetable.
