Praj Industries has inaugurated the country’s first sustainable road made using lignin-based biobitumen. This road is at the Nagpur-Mansar Bypass project, NH 44. This eco-friendly technology can partially replace fossil-derived bitumen and is being used to create the country’s first national highway.
Praj’s proprietary technology refines crude lignin into Lignin Bio-Bitumen and has the potential to replace fossil-based bitumen and offer sustainable solutions to the road infrastructure industry. This green construction material, with a blending capacity of up to 15%, offers significant benefits, including a 70% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to fossil-based bitumen.
India would require around 15 lakh tons of bio-bitumen to achieve 15% blending with conventional bitumen. Through this investment, India can save Rs 4000-Rs 4,500 crore on foreign exchange, marking a transformative step toward sustainable and eco-friendly road infrastructure.
Praj Industries is a Global leader providing solutions spanning across Biofuels, Biomaterials, Energy Transition & Climate Action, Critical Process Equipment & Modularization, High Purity Water Systems, Brewery & Beverages, and Zero Liquid Discharge Systems.
