Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has pitched strongly for the adoption of 100% bio-ethanol in vehicles, calling it a game-changer for India’s transport sector. Demonstrating his own car, which runs entirely on bio-ethanol and generates 60% electricity, Gadkari said such technology could bring down the average petrol-equivalent cost to just INR 25 per litre. He described the move as a “big revolution” that delivers zero pollution while boosting farmers’ income and cutting crude oil imports. His remarks come amid consumer concerns over mileage loss under the government’s E20 ethanol blending policy. Addressing these worries, Gadkari highlighted that 100% bio-ethanol solutions represent a cleaner, cheaper, and more sustainable alternative, positioning India as a leader in green mobility.
