Union minister Nitin Gadkari said that the government will ask all vehicle manufacturers to make flex-fuel engines under the Euro VI emission norms in the next six to eight months.
Flex-fuel also called flexible fuel, is an alternative fuel made of a combination of gasoline and methanol or ethanol.
Nitin Gadkari said in the next 15 years, the Indian automobile industry will be worth Rs 15 lakh crore.
Nitin Gadkari Said :
“We were planning to submit an affidavit in the Supreme Court to allow manufacturing of flex-fuel engines under the Euro IV emission norms…But now I feel that we will ask all vehicle manufacturers to make flex-fuel engines (that can run on more than one fuel) under the Euro VI emission norms in the next 6-8 months,”.
Nitin Gadkari claim that the cost of vehicles won’t rise after making it mandatory for all vehicle manufacturers to make flex-fuel engines.
The Union minister predicted that in the coming days, India will be able to export green hydrogen.
Government in January 2016 has decide to leapfrog directly from Euro IV emission norms for petrol and diesel to Euro VI standards.
An inter-ministerial group headed by Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on 6th January 2016, had taken the decision to advance the date by four years to 1st April 2020, for implementation of Bharat Stage VI which is equivalent to Euro VI norms follow globally for the supply of cleaner auto fuel, by altogether skipping the Euro V grade norms.
