Moglix Forays into the Energy Sector with DRG Industries 'Next-Gen Bitumen Facility
India's vision of Viksit Bharat hinges on developing infrastructure that is not only expansive but also durable, safe, and sustainable. With the world's second-largest road network, the next frontier for India lies in enhancing road quality and longevity—while simultaneously addressing environmental impact and safety.
Road safety remains a national priority. As the country targets a significant reduction in road-related incidents by 2030, materials that deliver long-term surface integrity and reduce deterioration risks are essential. Moglix's entry into bitumen manufacturing is anchored in this vision of building safer, smarter roads.
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.
In addition to bolstering India's infrastructure ambitions, the facility is expected to generate local employment and strengthen the regional SME ecosystem through vendor and contractor partnerships.
As a greenfield project, DRG Industries exemplifies Moglix's capability to design, develop, and operationalize industrial infrastructure that is scalable, sustainable, and aligned with national priorities. The company plans to expand its bitumen manufacturing footprint across India.

Should You Invest In ESG Funds? Here's What You Need To Know
Last Updated: ESG funds let you invest in companies that care for the environment, treat people fairly and follow ethical business practices. ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance and it is at the heart of what is known as sustainable investing. In simple terms, ESG investing means putting your money into companies that care about the planet, treat people fairly and follow strong ethical rules in how they run their business. The 'E" in ESG looks at how a company affects the environment—like whether it is reducing pollution, saving energy, or managing waste responsibly. The 'S" focuses on how companies treat their employees and contribute to society. The 'G" covers how the company is managed, whether it follows rules properly and whether it acts with honesty and fairness. In ESG investing, it is not just about profits—it is about how those profits are earned. What Are ESG Funds? ESG funds are mutual funds or ETFs that invest in companies with strong ESG practices. These funds encourage businesses to be more responsible towards the environment and society. They generally include companies that are doing good things in areas like clean energy, worker rights, or fair governance. Thematic Funds – Focus on specific themes like renewable energy or gender diversity. Impact Funds – Invest in companies actively working to create a positive impact, like healthcare or education. How Do ESG Funds Work? – Screening Process: First, ESG funds filter out companies that are involved in harmful or unethical businesses—like tobacco, weapons, or gambling. – Investment Allocation: Next, they invest in companies across different industries that follow good ESG practices—such as using clean energy or ensuring fair treatment of workers. – Performance Monitoring: Fund managers regularly check how these companies are performing—both financially and in terms of ESG—to ensure the investments stay aligned with the fund's goals. Benefits of ESG Funds Ethical Investing – Your money supports companies doing the right thing. Long-Term Growth – Companies with strong ESG values often perform better over time. Lower Risk – Avoids firms involved in scandals or risky behaviour. Diversification – ESG funds invest in different sectors, offering balance to your portfolio. Should You Invest? In recent years, especially after COVID-19, interest in ESG investing has grown—especially among people who care about how businesses affect the world. While ESG is still a developing idea in India, it is catching on fast. With increasing regulations, foreign investor interest and public awareness, ESG investing is no longer optional—it is becoming the norm. For long-term investors, ESG funds offer a smart way to grow money while supporting companies that care about people and the planet. view comments Location : Delhi, India, India First Published: July 24, 2025, 13:33 IST News business Should You Invest In ESG Funds?
