There is environmental cess, for vehicles that are larger than 2,000 cc, of 1 per cent. Speaking at the 58th Annual Session of the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA), Dasari said it was "improper information" supplied to the courts which led to the ban on diesel vehicles. People who buy such vehicles... New Delhi: The auto industry suffered a loss of Rs 4,000 crore in 8 months following the ban on sale of diesel vehicles in engine capacity of 2,000cc and above in Delhi/NCR, SIAM President Vinod Dasari said low-pressure injection molds Suppliers on August 30." He said that less than 20 per cent pollution comes from the auto industry.

He added that the auto industry has several times asked the government to ban old vehicles if it wants to reduce pollution. are they going to stop buying these due to this one per cent cess Is that going to have an impact on Delhi pollution " Dasari noted. The Supreme Court, however, had earlier this month lifted the ban on the registration of such diesel vehicles with one per cent environment cess. Let's take the Delhi example. Every winters when there is fog, there is a lot of media hype, lots of NGOs get involved and they blame one industry; everyone wants to blame auto industry. "It's a matter of great pride that the auto sector provides 30 million jobs and accounts for 50 per cent of the manufacturing GDP and yet it is rather sad when there is congestion, then auto industry is blamed; when there is pollution, auto industry is blamed and when there is an accident auto industry is blamed," Dasari said. "Led by media hype, provided with improper information, the courts decided to ban those vehicles which actually meet the standards set by the government.
