"Coal gasification and liquefaction capacity of 100 MT will be set up by 2030. This will also help in reducing imports of natural gas, methanol, and ammonia," she said. She said that the financial assistance will be provided for procurement of biomass aggregation machinery to support collection.
"The government will expand and strengthen the e-vehicle ecosystem by supporting manufacturing and charging infrastructure. Greater adoption of e-buses for public transport networks will be encouraged through payment security mechanisms," she said. She said that to promote green growth, a new scheme of bio-manufacturing and bio-foundry will also be launched.
"This will provide environment-friendly alternatives such as biodegradable polymers, bio-plastics, bio-pharmaceuticals and bio-agri-inputs," she said. She said that this scheme will also help in transforming today's consumptive manufacturing paradigm to the one brd on regenerative principles.
