But, in small scale industry, they can make the BioDiesel oil Rs.26 to Rs. 30 in India. Then how could it be possible for an Indian Importer for importing BioDiesel for 1000 to 1100 USD per MT. It so, it is a total suicide!!! Aware, Indian produced BioDiesel are cheaper and better than those produced in Western/American countries.

Hello friend!
You mean a small pilot plant that is being talked since four years?
Can you prove that its possible to make Biodiesel out of Jatropha or Poongamia oil less than Rs45/liter.
Can you establish with foolproof that Railways could produce Biodiesel for Rs33/liter????
You please show some proof that the cost of Jatropha oil or Poongamia oil available at Rs33/liter anywhere in India first!!!!
Then what is that special process that enables Railways to make Biodiesel considering the cost of not only the above oils but also the involvement of an alcohol and little amount of catalyst.
can you ask the railways to show a break-up of the cost honestly?
Please correct your submissions or else prove your submissions right forthwith to substantiate your claim on the impossible cost of Biodiesel based on Jatropha or Poongamia oil in India.
I challenge!
Its never or ever possible to trace Jatropha oil first!
Then the so called Poongamia which is always more than Rs30/kg ever since few people started advocating it in this subject.
Iam not going to leave this issue casually!
I need a convincing answer.
Bhadrinath.
