Gadkari believes that the industry should phase out diesel and transition to alternate fuels like LNG and bio-fuel. <\/h2>\n

Nitin Gadkari, Minister for Road Transport & Highway, has urged automakers to transition away from diesel-powered vehicles. Citing it as a hazardous fuel, the minister warned that the government would increase taxes if the industry doesn\u2019t shift away from diesel fuel.<\/span><\/p>\n

While addressing the 63rd annual SIAM convention, Gadkari stated that he would request Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to impose a pollution tax in the form of an additional 10% GST on diesel vehicles and diesel gen-sets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gadkari believes that the industry should phase out diesel and transition to alternate fuels like LNG and bio-fuel. Currently, most commercial vehicles run on diesel, although CNG and electric buses are being widely used for public transport across India.<\/span><\/p>\n

Diesel has been the fuel of choice among car buyers as well. Most carmakers offer diesel engine options in their SUVs, including homegrown brands like Tata Motors and Mahindra.<\/span><\/p>\n
