NEW DELHI: Citing the spurt in crude prices due to the war in Ukraine -- as a wake up call -- Union road transport minister Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday urged CEOs of major vehicle manufacturers and representatives of automobile lobby group SIAM to expedite the roll-out of vehicles of flex-fuel variants.
According to sources, Gadkari said it was high time to go for alternate fuel and reduce dependence on imported petrol and diesel to meet energy requirements.
