"We will be introducing electric cars in the next few months. While electric car use increases, customers should be encouraged to buy cars using strong hybrid technology, or CNG or ethanol and biogas. Pure petrol and diesel car use should be minimised," Bhargava noted. Hybrid cars improve fuel efficiency by about 35 per cent to 45 per cent and help reduce carbon and greenhouse gas emissions by 25 per cent to 35 per cent. India has a very large potential for developing biogas from agricultural, animal and human waste. The company has started work on a trial basis to produce biogas. "We look forward to government policies that would result in rapid development of this fuel," said Bhargava. According to Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director and CEO, Maruti Suzuki India, they are proud of creating employment opportunities, enhancing the quality of life for many and contributing to nation-building. "Many of our business practices align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and with many of the government of India’s programmes, such as Make in India, Skill India, Startup India, and PM Gati Shakti," said Takeuchi.
