Infrastructure Development and Road Expansion
India's bitumen industry is heavily influenced by the fast development of infrastructure, especially in road construction. The government has been actively promoting projects under schemes, such as the Bharatmala Pariyojana, to construct more than 34,800 km of highways to enhance connectivity. In the same manner, rural roads under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) have boosted demand for bitumen-based products. With India moving further toward being urbanized and industrialized, highways, expressways, and urban roads that connect all regions have become imperative. Vehicle ownership is increasing and so is the number of smart cities, leading to growing logistical needs, all of which exert pressure on authorities to improve road networks. Being cheaper and durable, the primary paving material is generally bitumen. Additionally, maintenance and repair of roads already in use also support the consistent demand for bitumen. As Indian roads are exposed to harsh weather conditions, they need to be resurfaced and repaired periodically, further supporting the market.
Rising Investments In Domestic Bitumen Production Capacity To Reduce Import Dependency
India's concerted efforts to bolster domestic bitumen production are significantly reshaping its bitumen market by reducing import dependency and fostering economic benefits. In the fiscal year 2023-24, India's bitumen consumption reached approximately 8.8 million metric tons, with projections indicating an increase to 10 million metric tons in 2024-25. Notably, about 50% of this demand has been met through imports, incurring an annual expenditure of INR 25,000–30,000 crore. To address this, the government has initiated the integration of bio-bitumen into traditional petroleum-based bitumen. Developed from agricultural residues like paddy straw, bio-bitumen allows for a substitution of up to 35% in conventional bitumen mixtures. This strategy is anticipated to save approximately INR 10,000 crore in foreign exchange outflows. Additionally, the government’s focus on bio-bitumen not only reduces import reliance but also addresses environmental concerns by converting agricultural waste into valuable resources, supporting both sustainability and rural incomes.
