During the India Business Leaders Awards (IBLA) in Mumbai, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari shared his ambitious vision for India to lead the world in alternate fuel and biofuel within the next ten years. Emphasizing the importance of green hydrogen, Gadkari highlighted the use of technology such as the electrolyzer process to produce hydrogen, along with utilizing biomass for generating methane which can be converted into hydrogen or CNG. He mentioned the abundant availability of municipal waste in the country which can serve as a cost-effective source for these processes. Gadkari also discussed the evolution of the electric vehicle industry in India, citing the decreasing costs of lithium-ion batteries and the affordability and sustainability of EVs compared to traditional fuel-based vehicles. The minister pointed out that the shift towards electric vehicles has led to a 400% increase in sales, with certain models even facing waitlists. Companies like Tata Motors, Mahindra, Hyundai, and Bajaj Auto are already adapting to greener technologies with flex engines and CNG motorcycles. Gadkari expressed his confidence in India's automobile industry becoming the global leader, especially with the implementation of the scrapping policy which aims to reduce component costs by 30% and enhance competitiveness. The minister's optimism and focus on sustainability and indigenous solutions signal a positive trajectory for India's future in the alternate fuel and biofuel sector.
