The cultivation of Jatropha plant seeds in India plays a crucial role in biofuel development due to their high oil content. This initiative is driven by various factors, including economic and environmental considerations. Jatropha oil serves as a sustainable biodiesel option for rural communities, enabling them to utilize marginal lands for income generation. On a national level, increased production of Jatropha oil helps reduce dependency on fossil fuel imports, ultimately strengthening India's foreign currency reserves and supporting economic growth.
