NEW DELHI: Fuel prices are skyrocketing in the country. Petrol and diesel prices are now beyond the reach of the common man. Meanwhile, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has given out a message for the adoption of renewable and green energy by arriving at Parliament in a special car.

Gadkari on Wednesday arrived at Parliament in a hydrogen-powered car. Demonstrating the car powered by 'Green Hydrogen', Gadkari emphasised the need to spread awareness about 'Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV)' technology and its benefits for hydrogen-based society in India.

Gadkari assured that 'Green Hydrogen' will be manufactured in India, and refuelling stations will be established, generating sustainable employment opportunities in the country.

The minister said India would soon become 'Green Hydrogen' exporting country.

"In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of clean and cutting-edge mobility in India, our government through 'National Hydrogen Mission' is committed for green and clean energy," Gadkari said.

Gadkari has been vocal about transitioning to renewable and green energy. The rise in fuel prices may accelerate the process of transition.
