New Delhi, (PTI) Seeking to clarify his remarks on taxation of diesel vehicles, Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Thursday said that he wanted to convey to automobile manufacturers to take steps to reduce pollution, and also added that there is no proposal to levy tax on such vehicles.
Earlier this week, the road, transport and highway minister’s remarks regarding the need to levy 10 per cent tax on diesel-run vehicles to help cut emissions had generated lots of controversy.
“I am not against diesel fuel and neither we are going to levy any tax on diesel vehicles,” Gadkari told CNBC-TV18.
