Cabinet approves bio-fuel policy
Government on Thursday set 2017 as the target for selling petrol mixed with one-fifth of sugarcane extracted ethanol and diesel doped with non-edible oil with a view to cut the nation's dependence on expensive oil imports. While petrol mixed with 5 per cent ethanol is at present sold in the country, pilot projects are on to check viability of selling diesel doped with non-edible oil.
