The strategy will be driven by biofuels as important component in the Indian energy basket.

India is committed to reduce carbon emissions as a by 33 to 35% by 2030 as a signatory of the Paris Agreement or Paris Accords, Gadkari stated.

Steps are being taken to decarbonise the transport sector by cutting down on harmful Green House Gas (GHG) emissions.

India aims to achieve clean energy-based economy through an annual road-map for production, supply of ethanol till 2025-26.
