A villager of Gujarat named Sadhulbhai Chawda has created a fully practical solar-powered automobile out of scrap, an Indian feat of ingenuity. The one-of-a-kind car, made at a very affordable price of 30,000, fully operates on solar energy, which does not require using petrol or charging.

The solar panels used in the car can produce power even when the vehicle is in motion, thus enabling it to cover 50-60 km daily without the expenditure of fuel. As part of a classic desi jugaad effort, Chawda relied on the old electric bike components, scrap metal, and other recycled materials to create the eco-friendly ride, which demonstrates a great example of the classic desi jugaad.

This affordable and zero-emission invention has become viral, as fuel prices start straining ordinary citizens, and it motivates a good number of people in the nation. The car would be useful whenever there is a short commuting distance of a day and the prospects of renewable energy in rural India are good.

The netizens are applauding Chawda on his ingenuity, as most of them declare it the ultimate solution to sustainable transport. This homemade solar car has yet to be road-legalized to be used at high speed, but it remains a potent symbol of self-sufficiency and green technology.
