THE SHOW BEGAN
Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister of Road Transport & Highways graced the bauma ConExpo India 2023 in Greater Noida. He glanced through the entire exhibition area and was upbeat about the prospect of witnessing some innovative products and technologies that are bound to change the construction and infrastructure horizon of the country.
He urged construction machinery manufacturers to make equipment which turns on alternative fuel instead of diesel to curb air pollution. Speaking to the crowd, he said, "You should make joint ventures with foreign companies on the use of alternative fuel run machines. We are planning to impose 20% additional GST on equipment run on diesel.
We are facing the problem of pollution. Our health is affected due to pollution and this is the time we need to think about air, water and soil pollution. This is the time to make infrastructure development at the same time maintain and protect ecology and environment." He pressed upon the fact that there are alternative fuels like hydrogen, electricity, CNG, LNG and ethanol available, which should be used. "The government is resolved to make India Aatmanirbhar Bharat and infrastructure development plays an important role in it," he added.
