Terming huge crude oil import a “big economic challenge” for the country, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday urged automakers to focus on alternative fuel vehicles as well and ensured Government’s support in the venture. Gadkari also stressed the need for diversifying agriculture towards power and energy to meet the goal of bio-fuel generation.
“I am giving you the confidence from the government that we are all supporter of this sector…you have lot of apprehensions about the future policy but the government is keenly interested to support and encourage you for new development (alternative fuel vehicles). ….go ahead with old manufacturing but also encourage alternative fuel,” Gadkari said addressing ‘NuGen Mobility Summit 2019’.
