This is my vision,\u201d Gadkari said in an interview to .<\/div>\n<div>He said India spends Rs 16 lakh crore on fuel imports. This money will be used for improving the life of farmers, villages will be prosperous and the youth will get employment, the minister said.<\/div>\n<div>Gadkari did not give any timeline to meet this ambitious target which even proponents of green energy believe is mind bogglingly difficult.<\/div>\n<div>The proposal to reduce GST on hybrid vehicles to five per cent and to 12 per cent for flex engines has been sent to the Finance ministry which is considering the requisition, Gadkari said.<\/div>\n<div>The minister said he firmly believes the country can end fuel import by promoting the use of biofuels.<\/div>\n<div>Environmental activists welcomed Gadkari\u2019s vision for increasing green mobility, but also struck a word of caution by flagging the use of fossil fuels in the production of electricity.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cIn India, we are still heavily dependent on a fossil fuel-based energy system to power electric cars, and this needs to be changed. There is urgent need to ensure 100 per cent renewable energy alongside electric vehicles to tackle the climate crisis,\u201d Avinash Chanchal, a campaigner for Greenpeace India, told.<\/div>\n<div>Gadkari said he has been pitching for alternative fuels since 2004 and is confident things will change in the coming five to seven years.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI cannot give you a date and year for this transformation to take place as it is very difficult. This is difficult but not impossible,\u201d Gadkari asserted.<\/div>\n<div>He said he firmly believes that given the speed with which electric vehicles are being introduced, the coming era will be of alternative and biofuels and this dream will come true.<\/div>\n<div>Gadkari said auto companies such as Bajaj, TVS and Hero are also planning to manufacture motorcycles using flex engines and auto rickshaws using similar technology too were on the way.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI roam around in a car that runs on hydrogen. You can see electric cars in every other household. People who used to say this was impossible, have changed their views now and started believing in what I have been saying for the last 20 years,\u201d the minister said.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cTatas and Ashok Leyland have introduced trucks that run on hydrogen. There are trucks that run on LNG\/CNG. There are 350 factories across the country of bio-CNG,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cDefinitely, a revolution is taking place. The fuel imports will end and this country will become self-reliant \u2013 Atmanirbhar Bharat. I strongly believe in this,\u201d Gadkari said.<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14131\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14131\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img
