Moglix Launches Bitumen Processing Plant in Mathura to Boost Sustainable Road Infra

Moglix, one of Asia’s largest B2B e-commerce and supply chain technology companies, has inaugurated a new greenfield bitumen processing plant under its manufacturing arm, DRG Industries, in Kosi Kalan, Mathura. The facility is slated to begin commercial production in July 2025.

This strategic move aligns with Moglix’s commitment to supporting India’s infrastructure growth through sustainable, high-performance materials. As India, home to the world’s second-largest road network, prioritizes quality and safety in its infrastructure, the demand for durable road materials is growing. The new facility aims to meet this need by producing advanced bitumen solutions that enhance road longevity and safety, contributing to the national goal of reducing road accidents by 2030.

Through DRG Industries, Moglix will produce a new generation of value-added, high-performance bitumen products, including polymer-modified bitumen, microsurfacing-grade emulsions, and hard binders. These solutions are engineered to extend road life, minimize maintenance cycles, and reduce total carbon footprint.

One of the facility’s key offerings, microsurfacing, is globally recognized for sealing surface cracks, improving road friction, and increasing durability. When compared to traditional resurfacing, microsurfacing can double pavement life while reducing carbon emissions by up to 44%.

To further localize innovation, Moglix is investing in indigenous R&D to develop bitumen solutions tailored to India’s diverse terrain, traffic patterns, and climate zones.

Rahul Garg, Founder & CEO, Moglix, said "Our roads are the veins of Viksit Bharat. Building them stronger and smarter requires materials that are not only durable but sustainable. DRG Industries is our commitment to building roads that last longer, perform better, and serve more, with responsibility at the core."

Spread across 3.5 acres, the DRG Industries facility integrates advanced Denimotech mills, fully automated processing lines, and a dedicated in-house R&D center. With an installed monthly processing capacity of over 28,000 MT, the facility positions Moglix as a key player in India’s evolving bitumen ecosystem.

The facility uses biomass-fueled, carbon-neutral high-efficiency boilers equipped with scrubber systems and filter bags, making the heating process significantly more sustainable and aligned with Moglix’s ESG roadmap.

Strategically located to serve northern and central India, the plant will support infrastructure projects across Uttar Pradesh, NCR, Bihar, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir, and also cater to export markets such as Nepal.
