Oil minister Dharmendra Pradhan remotely flagged off the first consignment from the company’s depot at Delhi’s Tikrikalan under the ‘randhan se indhan (from cooking to fuelling)’ scheme. He said the initiative will economically benefit the country by boosting indigenous biodiesel supply, reducing import dependence for oil and generating rural employment.
