India Develops Bio-Bitumen Amid Venezuela Oil Crisis

India has created a special kind of road material called bio-bitumen from farm waste.

This is important because it's a green alternative to regular bitumen, which comes from oil.

Meanwhile, the US took control of Venezuela's oil, which is a big deal because Venezuela has lots of heavy oil used to make bitumen and diesel.

China used to get a lot of this oil, but now the US wants it for itself.

This could make it harder and more expensive for China to build roads.

India might benefit because its companies can process heavy oil and could get oil from Venezuela.

Also, India is working on making vanadium from oil waste, which is used in making strong metals and batteries.

This shows India is doing good research and innovation.
