Union Minister Nitin Gadkari assured that there is no shortage of petrol, diesel, or gas in India despite global challenges. He acknowledged that while India imports nearly 86% of its energy needs, the government’s proactive policies have ensured minimal impact on the common man. Highlighting the push towards self-reliance, Gadkari emphasized rapid adoption of electric vehicles, ethanol-blended fuels, and green hydrogen. India is also innovating by producing bio-bitumen from crop residue, reducing import dependency. With ₹22 lakh crore spent annually on fossil fuel imports, the focus is now on renewable energy and domestic alternatives. This shift aims to boost employment, support farmers, and drive India towards sustainable growth and energy independence.
