Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari declared that the government would allow a 35% blend of lignin with petroleum-based bitumen to lessen dependence on imports and reduce costs. The move is also intended to address air pollution from stubble burning. Bio-bitumen sourced from paddy straw has been successfully developed and patented. Numerous projects are underway to convert rice straw into different biofuels. These changes promise significant benefits for farmers and the environment, with trials to assess bio-bitumen's long-term performance in road construction currently being conducted.
