Summary

India is highly dependent on outside sources to satisfy its energy needs. In this scenario, Jatropha has emerged as a possible solution for India’s biodiesel demands of the future. Jatropha is considered to be an ideal feedstock for biodiesel production in India as it has multiple advantages including high yield on wasteland, low cost of production and high potential for employment generation. The Government of India has supported Jatropha cultivation for biodiesel production through a variety of ways like National Biofuels policy 2008, setting of minimum support price as well as various other measures from the state governments. Support from the government for Jatropha cultivation, coupled with its suitability for Indian climatic conditions is expected to make Jatropha highly important for the Indian biodiesel market in the coming decade.
