Neq Delhi, Sept 12: Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said on Tuesday that his ministry plans to propose imposing an additional 10 per cent tax on diesel engine vehicles in case diesel car makers do not curb their production.

Speaking at the 63rs SIAM Annual Convention, Gadkari said that he will make this proposal to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman later in the day. The transport minister called it the “pollution tax” and stated that it is the only way to reduce usage of diesel vehicles in the country. The minister later issued a clarification regarding the same.

During his speech at the conference, Gadkari also requested the auto industry to reduce the production of diesel vehicles. He urged the industry to move from petrol and diesel to cleaner fuels, failing which he said that the government will have to add additional taxes.

He said this is the only way to bring about a transformation to cleaner energy, otherwise people do not seem to be in a “mood” to listen.

Gadkari asked the auto industry to encourage diversification to this end. “We are making good roads, which has led to a growth in the automobile industry, in turn leading to benefits of the automobile component players,” he said, adding that the industry will obviously be very happy but the Indian people will be very unhappy because of the pollution.
