With the enormity of building a clear Path & Strategy to put India in the big league of Production, Trade and Usage, the Policy has consistently fallen short past 17 years.
Reasons being very many, the failure in identifying and building support mechanism for growth of proper feedstocks and yields, Subsidising and incentivising supply chains in Feedstock development, Building proper dispensation and storage infrastructure, developing markets and price mechanism for feedstock and Biofuels, bringing accountability for non-compliance by players like Automobile Manufacturers, Oil Corporate, Fleet owners, Transport operators, State Governments etc.
Without political will and Uniform policy across states and implementation failure in marine, inland waterways, aviation along with road sector has not enabled the sector to maximise scale nor move into next-gen technological development.
