For this, if not Petroleum Minister, Nitin Gadkari talks about ‘Ethanol Blending’ issues! Know these statements from Gadkari’s interview

For some time now, he has been consistently advocating for ‘ethanol blending’ and bio-fuels in the country. Naturally, the question arises in the minds of many that when the topic is related to fuel and petroleum, why does Nitin Gadkari talk about it instead of the petroleum minister? In a recent interview, he himself has explained in detail the technical reason behind this and the calculation of the country’s interest.

22 lakh crores worth of imports and huge risk of air pollution

Nitin Gadkari said that India imports crude fuel (petrol, diesel and gas) worth Rs 22 lakh crore every year from abroad. So much money is going out of the country. Along with this, 40 percent of the country’s total air pollution is caused by vehicle exhaust alone. Big cities like Delhi are facing severe pollution today, posing a serious threat to the health of its citizens. Bio-fuel, ‘ethanol blending’ is the only option to avoid this risk and loss of foreign exchange.

If E-20 petrol is filled, your responsibility, hand up from the government? Hoardings on petrol pumps, what is the real case?

22 lakh crores will go directly into the pockets of Indian farmers

Gadkari’s main objective is to save Rs. 22 lakh crores that go out of the country and go to the hands of farmers in our country. The central government took a historic decision to make ethanol from maize and sugarcane. Earlier, maize fetched only Rs 1,200 per quintal in the market. However, the decision to produce ethanol has directly increased the price of maize to Rs 2,600 to Rs 2,800. It is clear from Gadkari’s statement that due to this one policy, an additional Rs 2 lakh crore has accumulated in the households of the country’s farmers through ethanol

Farmers now only ‘the breadwinner‘ No, So ‘fuel supplier‘ will become

Ever since 2004, when Nitin Gadkari was not even a minister, Swadeshi, self-reliance and nationalism have been his guiding principles. His dream is to make India ‘self-reliant’ in the energy sector. Farmers of India should not only be ‘food givers’ but should make the country ‘fuel givers’ and all kinds of resources should be in the hands of farmers, so that villages can develop and rural youth-farmers get employment. The overall summary of his talk is that he is pursuing this issue from the role of a social worker to prevent farmer suicides and strengthen the rural economy.

Why does Nitin Gadkari talk about this even when he is not the petroleum minister??

Nitin Gadkari says that the main technical reason behind this is the responsibility of his ministry. Nitin Gadkari’s Ministry of Road Transport deals with vehicle engines, machinery standards and passing their spare parts. So how to bring ‘flex-fuel engines’ in cars that run on hydrogen, electric or ethanol is directly part of his ministry.

• What percentage to mix or subtract from the fuel is the work of the Ministry of Petroleum.
• Ethanol rates are decided by the central cabinet and fixed through a tender process.

His speech proves that Nitin Gadkari is not limited to road construction but is promoting alternative fuels by considering national interest and social interest. He has been publicly and strongly advocating for ethanol, methanol, hydrogen and electric vehicles with the goal of saving the country money, reducing pollution and increasing farmers’ incomes.
