During a recent address at the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers event, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari announced that the National Highways Authority of India is contemplating financial incentives for original equipment manufacturers. The goal is to encourage a shift from diesel-powered construction machinery to cleaner fuel alternatives, aligning with India's commitment to reducing carbon emissions. The proposed scheme aims to support alternative fuels like CNG, LNG, and biofuels, potentially transforming the construction equipment sector and contributing to India's net-zero emissions goal by 2070.
