Key Ideas
  • Union Minister Nitin Gadkari envisions India becoming a net energy exporter in the next 6-7 years.
  • Gadkari emphasizes the role of hydrogen as a significant fuel for the future and promotes alternative fuels like ethanol and biodiesel.
  • The shift towards alternative fuels is expected to reduce pollution, cut logistics costs, and boost exports for India.
  • India's logistics expenses have already reduced by 6%, with a goal to reach single-digit percentage reductions by the year-end.
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has outlined India's potential transformation from an energy importer to a net exporter within the next six to seven years. Speaking at an event, Gadkari highlighted the importance of hydrogen as the 'fuel of the future' and advocated for the adoption of alternative fuels like ethanol, biodiesel, and electric vehicles. He stressed that this shift in energy strategy would not only help in reducing pollution but also substantially lower logistics costs, aiming for single-digit percentage costs by the end of the year. India, as one of the world's fastest-growing economies, recognizes the economic benefits of boosting exports by minimizing logistics expenses. Gadkari urged the nation to embrace economically viable alternative and biofuels in the national energy policy. With logistics expenses already showing a 6% reduction, the country is on track to achieve further improvements in this area.
