Transport

Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai is among the most congested corporate hubs in India. It's lined with fancy office buildings and everything that comes with it, and it can take you over 20 minutes just cross one small signal on weekdays - that's the kind of traffic this suburb sees. Now, Mumbai is launching a new initiative which they say is one of a kind - Car Free Fridays in BKC. But does the city have enough public transport to support this?

Union Minister of Road, Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has cautioned that there is no future for petrol and diesel vehicles, driven by escalating concerns around air pollution and India's heavy dependence on fossil fuel imports. His comments come amid a widespread debate over whether alternative fuels can capture a significant share of the auto supply chain. He also said that after roads, he's going to focus on India's public transport - but urged manufacturers to shift away from petrol and diesel in this aspect. Watch.
