The minister said this while inaugurating the 15th Auto Expo which will open for public from Friday in Greater Noida.

According to the minister, the policy will benefit the auto sector and reduce the cost of procuring expensive metals such as copper.

On fuel blending, Gadkari said that the government is considering a Niti Aayog's proposal to introduce fuel with 15 per cent methanol content.

He informed the gathering that government has expedited the erection of access controlled expressways in the country.
