Gadkari along with Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri, addressed the launch of Hero MotoCorp's first flex-fuel motorcycles in New Delhi on Wednsday, according to PIB release.

He congratulated the team on this pioneering initiative, stating that it aligns with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji for clean, self-reliant, and sustainable mobility.
Gadkari further emphasised that the initiative will strengthen rural energy security, boost biofuel demand, support farmers, promote waste-to-wealth initiatives, and generate employment opportunities.
