Speaking at an event at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari stressed the need to cut imports and boost exports by developing indigenous, proven and economically viable technologies. He highlighted diversification of agriculture towards energy and alternative fuels as key to raising farmers’ incomes and reducing fossil fuel imports.

Citing ethanol production from maize and bamboo, he said such initiatives have directly benefited farmers and strengthened India’s economy through innovation-driven, sustainable development.

On quality issues, the minister underlined that the government has taken strict and corrective steps, including a new rule to blacklist non-performing contractors for two years. He reiterated that improving national highway quality remains a top priority, while misinformation often blurs the distinction between different road authorities.
