India To Get Rid Of Petrol And Diesel Vehicles? What Nitin Gadkari Said

Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari said he has been pitching for alternative fuels since 2004 and is confident things will change in the coming years.

As part of his ambition to make India a green economy, Union minister Nitin Gadkari wants to slash GST on hybrid vehicles and has vowed to rid the country entirely of the over 36 crore petrol and diesel vehicles.

"One hundred per cent," Mr Gadkari, the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, said when asked whether it is possible for India to get rid of petrol and diesel cars altogether.

"It is difficult but not impossible. This is my vision," Mr Gadkari said in an interview with the news with PTI.
