New Delhi [India], December 20 (ANI): Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Saturday said that ethanol production at a large scale will help improve farmers income.
He called upon the State of Karnataka to take up the production of ethanol in a big way, as it is one of the largest producers of sugarcane in the country. The country is already over-producing sugar and rice, and sufficient stock are available with the government. The surplus may be converted to Ethanol, which can be used as an alternative fuel for vehicles. This will not only improve farmers income but will also be an indigenous source of fuels for the country, he said.
