Nitin Gadkari Reveals Roadmap to Fight Pollution with Alternative Fuels

Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari revealed a new roadmap for India's green mobility revolution based on EVs, biofuels, and alternative fuels. Nitin Gadkari states that the emission of CO2 in our country is from the transport sector, and it is increasing daily, which is a matter of concern. Every year, three hundred thirty metric tons of CO2 emission is a dangerous problem.

Gadkari further states that 85% of the fuel in our country is fossil fuel, which is imported, and the cost of import is Rs 16 lakh crore. This is a severe problem from the point of view of both economics and pollution, and it is petrol and diesel which need to be made special. The Indian government has made many efforts to address the pollution that is discussed here and has given it priority.

The Minister articulated the Indian government's concerted efforts to address the pollution challenge, placing it a top priority. Despite being the third-largest automobile manufacturer globally, Gadkari acknowledged a slowdown in the industry's growth rate. The automobile sector contributes significantly to the nation's GST revenue and supports 4.5 crore jobs.
