-15.45 (-1.15%) Reliance Industries is reportedly launching a project to use plastics in road construction, amid growing concerns over pollution in the country whose major cities are often plagued with smog and litter.
The company will seek to work with India's highway authority and individual states to potentially supply a plastics-infused mix to make some of the thousands of kilometers of roads Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to build to upgrade India's creaking infrastructure.
Reliance Industries is India’s largest private sector company. The company’s activities span hydrocarbon exploration and production, petroleum refining and marketing, petrochemicals, retail and 4G digital services.
