The Draft national automobile fuel policy, which advocates the continuation of liquid fuel as the main fuel, is ready, and will be presented to the petroleum ministry later this month. The policy, however says alternative fuels should be introduced in highly polluted cities. The final report of the expert committee, set up to suggest a national automobile fuel policy, has urged the Centre to provide "assured supply of fuels at minimum costs, while meeting environmental concerns". The committee, headed by director-general of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, R A Mashelkar, had submitted its preliminary report in January.
