NEW DELHI: Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on August 2 asked the construction and equipment industry to reduce their fuel cost by using alternative fuels like ethanol and methanol.
The Minister was speaking at the annual session of the Indian Construction and Equipment Manufacturers Association (ICEMA) in the national Capital.
“You can bring down your cost by 15-20 per cent by usage of methanol which comes at Rs 25 a litre. This will reduce your overall cost,” Gadkari said.
He also said that in a road construction project of Rs 1000 crore, around Rs 100 crore is spent towards diesel.
