USE OF LPG AS AUTO FUEL


LOK SABHA

 

The use of LPG as an auto fuel has already been authorised and necessary specifications of LPG kits that can be used in a Motor Vehicle have been already notified. The Regional Transport Offices in a State/UT are authorised to endorse the use of LPG as fuel in registration book of motor vehicles, so long as LPG kits duly approved by any of the authorised testing agencies are being used.

Vehicular traffic is controlled and regulated by State Government. No information about number of vehicles using LPG is being collected or maintained by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.

This information was given by the Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Road Transport and Highways, Major General (Retd.) B.C. Khanduri in reply to a question of Shri Manikrao Hodlya Gavit in Lok Sabha today.
