New Delhi, May 8 : With the government imposing a green tax on old polluting vehicles, Indian Auto LPG Coalition (IAC) is advocating the need for this deterrent to be accompanied by incentives to people shifting to cleaner alternative fuels such as auto LPG.
The Union Ministry for Road Transport and Highways recently approved a proposal to levy a green tax on old vehicles in a bid to curtail pollution and push consumers to switch to environmental-friendly alternatives.
Notably, hybrid vehicles and vehicles running on clean alternative fuels such as LPG, CNG and ethanol will be exempt from this tax. The initiative aims to make polluters pay for environmental pollution in India s choking cities.
