1. The Ministry of Water & Power in coordination with AEDB is responsible for the National Biodiesel Programme.

However, active mitigation could reduce demand to 388 billion liters, representing worst- and best-case scenarios as data center capacity ramps up, driven largely by the growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday life.
