    Minimize the use of steel in construction work: Gadkari

    "We know that the construction industry not only contributes significantly to environmental pollution but also conserves 40% of Global materials and resources. As we are aware that cement and steel are the major components for construction, so we are trying to minimize the use of steel in construction work by trying to adopt substitutes," Gadkari was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

    Future vision

    Power of green hydrogen

    He also emphasized that India is in an excellent spot to project itself as an energy exporter and added that soon, green hydrogen would be an energy source.

    "Green hydrogen is the fuel for the future. In near future, green hydrogen will be a source of energy in the aviation, railway, road transport, chemical and fertilizer industries," the minister stated.

    Explained how

    Towards electric mobility

    The minister also added that by 2030, electric mobility would be the most effective transport system.

    Gadkari said that a few days back, a Canadian Company reached out to him to explain how to get Manganese and Cobalt by mining in the oceans.

    "A lot of research is happening globally with regard to batteries. We should be the leaders in this sector," he said.
