Significant progress has been made in India, owing to a large part to the Indian Roads Congress. They have developed new and improved grades of materials to withstand changing climate conditions, such as rising temperatures caused by global warming. Notably, modified bitumen grades are now required for the top layer of road surfaces, which improves durability and longevity.
These technological advancements seek to extend the life of roads, enhance riding quality, and reduce the need for frequent relaying. The bitumen industry, in particular, has seen significant growth, helping to improve India's infrastructure overall.
