Haldia becomes first green port in India

Inaugurating the bio-diesel dispensing unit at Haldia Dock Complex on Wednesday, June 24, Union minister of road transport, highways and shipping Nitin Gadkari said that the government is working on the standards for bio-diesel usage. “In a couple of months, new standards will be in place,” he said.
