NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi on Thursday said around 3 lakh vehicles, including government vehicles, would be scrapped under the government’s vehicle scrapping policy this year.
The PM said water-based transport would be the next big thing in India.
While addressing the first post-budget seminar, the PM said the three pillars of green growth and energy transition are production of renewable energy, decreasing usage of fossil fuels and moving towards gas-based economy.
Modi said India had achieved the target of 40 per cent of installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources nine years ahead of the set target of 2030.
The PM said India achieved 10 per cent ethanol-blending five months ahead of schedule.
