据能源世界网2月21日报道，联邦卫生和家庭福利部长Ashwini Chaubey表示，正在努力为国民提供救济，同时也在努力推广乙醇作为替代燃料。
针对燃油价格的持续上涨，Chaubey周六对记者表示，国际市场上石油产品价格的涨跌不受政府控制。 尽管如此，我们过去还是成功地降低了石油价格，现在正在采取一切可能的措施，向目前的人民提供救济。
为了减少对汽油的依赖，政府已经开始探索利用乙醇作为替代燃油的可能性，他补充道，增加乙醇的使用对生态和经济都有帮助。这将导致原油进口减少，并对国际市场价格波动产生不利影响。

Indian govt to promote use of ethanol as an alternative fuel: Minister
Defending government on sky rocketing prices of petrol and diesel the Union minister of state for health and family welfare Ashwini Chaubey said that efforts are being made to bring relief for countrymen while works are also in progress to promote ethanol as an alternative fuel.
Reacting over continuous rise in price of fuel oil while talking to the reporters here on Saturday Chaubey said, “Rise and fall in the price of petroleum products in international market is not under government’s control. Despite this fact we had succeeded in bringing down the price of oil in past and again all possible measures are being initiated to provide relief to the people in current situation.”
To reduce dependency on the petrol the government has already started working on exploring possibility of utilising ethanol as alternative fuel oil, he said adding, the increased use of ethanol will help ecologically and economically. This will lead to reduction in import of crude oil and adverse impact of price fluctuation in international market, he added.
