Alternative fuels to take center stage in the India’s mobility sector

During the 63rd Annual Convention of the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (Siam), the Indian automotive industry and the government reached a mutual agreement to collaborate closely in their efforts to embrace alternative fuels. They aim to achieve carbon neutrality well ahead of the 2070 deadline.

Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari urged the automotive industry to shift away from environmentally harmful fuels like diesel and petrol in favour of alternative, eco-friendly options. He emphasised the need for the industry to rapidly expand its utilisation of green technologies, including biofuels, electric vehicles (EVs), and hydrogen-powered vehicles.
