On World Biofuel Day 2024, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) is championing a movement that transcends technology—one that connects deeply with communities and culture. By leading the push for biofuels, TKM is not only contributing to environmental sustainability but also fostering economic empowerment across India.
As the country faces rising crude oil imports, TKM’s focus on ethanol—now blended at 15.90% with petrol—is a game-changer. This initiative not only aims to achieve 20% blending by 2025 but also to bring tangible benefits to local economies, particularly in agrarian regions.In Gangtok, TKM’s biofuel initiative is more than just an environmental effort; it represents a potential boon for the local economy.
By driving demand for ethanol, which can be produced from locally sourced biomass, TKM is helping to create new opportunities for farmers and small businesses in the region, strengthening the economic fabric of the community. Vikram Gulati, TKM’s Executive Vice President, emphasized that biofuels are a pathway to a future where technology and community growth are intertwined, paving the way for a cleaner, more prosperous India that leaves no one behind.
