During Deloitte India’s Government Summit, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari discussed the potential of redirecting 5-6 lakh crore rupees from fossil fuel imports towards agriculture to increase its contribution to India's GDP to over 20%. By using corn for ethanol production, the market price of corn significantly increased, benefiting farmers. Gadkari also highlighted the importance of hydrogen as a fuel, mentioning India's capacity in electrolyser manufacturing and the potential of producing hydrogen from municipal waste. He emphasized the goal of producing hydrogen at USD 1 per kilogram and expressed confidence in achieving it. This transition not only aims to boost the rural agriculture economy but also signifies a move towards sustainable practices in energy production.
