In a major advancement for sustainable industrial construction in India, ARS Steel has supplied its ultra-low emission “green” TMT rebars for the Epic Group’s net-zero manufacturing facility in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. This project is being hailed as India’s first use of green TMT steel in an eco-friendly industrial building, signalling a transformative shift in the adoption of environmentally responsible construction materials.
The new facility, developed by Epic Group-a global apparel manufacturer-is designed to operate as a net-zero energy industrial complex, integrating renewable energy systems, energy-efficient processes, and sustainable building materials throughout its design and construction. ARS Steel’s green TMT bars, produced using reduced carbon-emission processes, form the structural backbone of the plant, aligning with stringent sustainability and lifecycle impact standards.
As reported, the collaboration reflects growing momentum in India’s infrastructure and manufacturing sectors to transition towards low-carbon, green-certified construction practices. With industrial buildings contributing significantly to carbon emissions, the use of green steel offers a critical pathway to decarbonise this segment without compromising on structural strength or performance.
ARS Steel, known for its commitment to sustainable production, has increasingly focused on green product development in response to India’s evolving climate policies and green building codes. The Bhubaneswar project serves as a benchmark for future industrial developments, particularly in sectors looking to align with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals and net-zero targets.
The project is expected to inspire wider adoption of green steel in logistics hubs, factories, and industrial parks across the country, especially as regulatory frameworks begin to mandate eco-friendly materials in public and private infrastructure.
