Nitin Gadkari emphasised that he is not against any industry and pointed out that the government is already giving incentives for electric cars.
Seeking to clarify his remarks on the taxation of diesel vehicles, Union minister Nitin Gadkari said on Thursday that he wanted to convey to automobile manufacturers the need to take steps to reduce pollution and also added that there is no proposal to levy a tax on such vehicles.
Earlier this week, the road, transport, and highway minister's remarks regarding the need to levy a 10 percent tax on diesel-run vehicles to help cut emissions generated lots of controversy.
"I am not against diesel fuel, and neither are we going to levy any tax on diesel vehicles," Gadkari told CNBC-TV18.
