Tata Steel has launched a value-added product, GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) in Bhubaneswar. A ?Customer Meet? of about 40 potential customers from construction companies, RMCs, EPCs and paver block manufacturers was arranged on the occasion.
GGBS can be used as a partial replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) up to 70 per cent, thus bringing down the cost of concrete.
The main speakers for this event were Rashid Merchant, VP-Marketing from RMC India Readymix and PN Ojha, General Manager, NCCBM. Other senior officials from Tata Steel also attended the event.
