In Ladakh, the Border Roads Organisation’s (BRO) Project Vijayak in Kargil has successfully utilized the indigenous REJUPAVE road construction technology. Developed by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-Central Road Research Institute (CSIR-CRRI), under the Ministry of Science and Technology, REJUPAVE was used to construct high-altitude bituminous roads in low and sub-zero temperatures on the Drass-Umbala-Sankoo Road, located in Drass, the world’s second coldest inhabited place.

REJUPAVE, an innovative asphalt modifier derived from biomass and renewable resources, lowers the heating requirements for bituminous mixes and maintains their temperature during transit. This technology was previously implemented by BRO to build road sections at the world’s highest Sela road tunnel and the LGG-Damteng-Yangste (LDY) road section near Arunachal Pradesh’s China border at 18,000 feet. Now, it has been successfully tested on the Drass-Umbala-Sankoo Road at an altitude of 13,000 feet.
