Nitin Gadkari addresses Rajya Sabha on pervasive vehicle pollution: Unveils strategic roadmap towards green mobility
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. This alarming statistic, coupled with the fact that 85 per cent of the country's fuel is fossil fuel, imported at a cost of Rs 16 lakh crore, underscored the economic and environmental urgency.
