Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday asked state oil firms to boost the supply of gas and alternative fuels in states where petroleum coke and furnace oil are banned due to high emissions.
India imports about half of its annual consumption of 27 million tonnes of petcoke, Dharmendra Pradhan said in a tweet.
The country has banned the use of petcoke and furnace oil in states around New Delhi and in the capital city to rein in pollution. Demand for petcoke has doubled in the past four years.
