In today's Rajya Sabha session, Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, delivered a comprehensive address shedding light on the escalating issue of vehicle pollution in India. The minister outlined key strategies involving hydrogen-driven and electric vehicles to combat the rising carbon footprint. He emphasized the critical concern of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the transport sector, amounting to a staggering 330 metric tons annually.
