Explanation:

The state government has constituted the Biofuel Authority under the ministry of Panchayat raj and Rural development.

The policy of sale of bio diesel in the state has even been applauded by Union transport ministry in the recent past.

Rajasthan was the first state in the country to roll out the biofuel policy and has attracted investments of about Rs 125 crore with 11 plants already operating.

Cumulatively, the 11 plants have the capacity to produce 4.20 lakh litres a day, but the current production is 2 lakh litres a month which is a marginal figure against the diesel sales of 4.50 lakh litre per day.
