In India, the transportation minister has called on the automotive industry to pick up the pace in introducing biofuel-powered vehicles in an effort to support the underlying drive for reducing fossil fuel imports and replacing them with biofuels. He said that there is no timeline for the introduction of biofuel vehicles because sooner or later it will happen, whether auto manufacturers want it or not. Mahindra & Mahindra says they tried introducing biofuel vehicles in the past but there wasn’t enough biofuel availability so switched tack towards electric vehicles.
