‘Ethanol in India surplus, can export’
Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, on Wednesday said that after meeting the target of 20 per cent ethanol blending in petrol, India should now gear up to export ethanol, given its surplus production. “It is the time for India’s futuristic development. We need to reduce our imports and increase our exports. As far as the surplus of ethanol, it is now the requirement of the country that we need to export ethanol,” Gadkari said after inaugurating the second International Conference and Exhibition on Bioenergy and Technologies (IBET) in the national Capital.
