It is do difficult to get a straight answer on what kind of incentives/subsidies/sops the Govt of India provides to Algal Biofuels. I am really sick on seeing ancient policy documents all over the internet, that talk about Jatropha only. Has anyone had a breakthrough with seeking the same information that I do. If so, I would lke to request you to please get in touch with me: vikramverma2005@gmail.com
