Petrol is available for Rs 15?
The government sees the country’s farmers not only as food providers but also as energy providers. All vehicles in the country now run on ethanol produced by farmers. Nitin Gadkari also said that if vehicles can take 60% ethanol and 40% electricity on an average, one liter of petrol can be obtained at Rs 15. This can reduce air pollution and imports into the country. He said that Rs 16 lakh crore spent on imports will go to the farmers’ families of the country. Nitin Gadkari’s statement at a public meeting held in Rajasthan’s Pratapgarh on Wednesday.
Farmers have also become energy providers of the country as they produce ethanol. Farmers are also contributing solar power. Vehicles in India, from autorickshaws to cars, use ethanol-based fuel. Nitin Gadkari said that through this, the import cost of the country can be reduced. Last day, Nitin Gadkari said that the government is planning to increase the turnover of the country’s auto industry from 7.5 lakh crores to 15 lakh crores.
