Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari aims to propel India's automobile industry to the top globally within five years, surpassing China and the US. With a market size of approximately Rs 22 lakh crore, the industry is a significant contributor to the economy. Gadkari highlighted the importance of focusing on alternative fuels like ethanol, methanol, biodiesel, bio-LNG, electric vehicles, and hydrogen for a sustainable future. Emphasizing the need to combat air pollution, he proposed using surplus food grains to produce biofuels as import substitutes. Gadkari's advocacy for alternative fuels not only addresses environmental concerns but also aims to boost income in agriculture, rural, and tribal regions. The minister's personal use of a hydrogen-powered car underscores his commitment to promoting eco-friendly technologies. By prioritizing innovation and sustainability, India's automobile sector is poised to play a pivotal role in driving economic growth and environmental conservation.
