PSU OMCs under the MoP&NG have been actively pursuing the bio-diesel
programme and entered into MoUs and formed JVs for cultivation of bio-fuels
species on revenue wasteland and degraded lands in the State. These JV
companies have been formed with the objective of increasing production and
marketing of Bio-diesel in the country. They have sought permission to
undertake activities like sourcing, trading, supply, distribution, marketing etc.
of Bio-diesel to consumers.

As the price of diesel is already deregulated and determined by the market,

there is no economic justi cation in preventing private biodiesel
manufacturers, their authorised dealers and JVs of OMCs authorized by the
MoP&NG from selling biodiesel directly to consumers subject to their product
meeting prescribed BIS standards.
