Abstract

In this article the author discusses the development of India's biofuel industry. He argues that several issues continue to pose challenges for India's politicians and business executives, such as whether India can meet the increasing demand for biofuels in a sustainable way. Topics discussed include the feasibility of depending on Jatropha as the primary source for biofuel, statistics related to biofuel demand, and farmers' lack of confidence in the biofuel business.
