Mumbai, Apr 27: Eco Path Innovations, a climate-tech infrastructure company focused on low-carbon construction technologies, has achieved two significant infrastructure milestones in Bengaluru developing India’s first cement-free cast-in-situ concrete road and delivering India’s first carbon-negative bituminous road reinforcing the commercial viability of sustainable infrastructure solutions in India.
The company’s first major milestone was the construction of India’s first cement-free cast-in-situ concrete road at the Army School of Bengaluru. Built using 100% cement-free concrete along with fiberglass composite rebars instead of conventional steel reinforcement, the project eliminated the need for traditional cement while significantly reducing embodied carbon. The road resulted in an estimated saving of 34 tonnes of CO₂ emissions and continues to perform successfully more than a year after completion.
In another industry-first achievement, Eco Path developed India’s first carbon-negative bituminous road at American Air Filters in Bengaluru. While conventional road construction typically adds to emissions, Eco Path’s proprietary material mix and engineering process enabled the project to sequester more carbon than it emitted during execution, resulting in a net carbon-negative footprint of approximately 3 tonnes of CO₂.
These projects come at a time when India is accelerating infrastructure development while simultaneously pursuing sustainability and net-zero commitments. Eco Path’s work demonstrates that roads and urban infrastructure can be delivered at scale without relying solely on traditional cement-heavy construction methods.
Beyond roads, the company has implemented a wide range of cement-free infrastructure applications including pavers, kerbstones, saucer drains, U-drains and external development works across residential communities, educational campuses, farmland projects and lake rejuvenation initiatives. These solutions help lower emissions, eliminate curing water requirements and conserve virgin raw materials.
Speaking on the development, Sourabh Kumar, Founder, Eco Path Innovations, said, “India’s infrastructure growth story must also be a sustainability story. Through these live projects, we have proven that low-carbon infrastructure is not just possible, but practical and scalable. Our mission is to help developers and institutions build with lower carbon emissions, lower water consumption and smarter use of natural resources.”
With a long-term vision to help reduce 10 million tonnes of carbon emissions by 2030, Eco Path aims to play a key role in shaping future-ready, environmentally responsible infrastructure across India.
