There is always a debate about vehicle pollution in India. You must have often heard that it is said that diesel and petrol vehicles cause the most pollution. But the question is whether diesel cars will be completely banned in India in the coming times and which countries are currently banned. Today we are going to tell you the rules related to this.
Diesel Car
Let us tell you that there is a big debate in the automobile industry about the engines used in vehicles. The demand for electric vehicles is gradually increasing in the country. At the same time, the statement of Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has increased the tension of people who drive diesel cars. Road and Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has always emphasized on the use of less polluting cars. Cars running on petrol and diesel cause a lot of pollution. Nitin Gadkari supports cars running on ethanol.
In which countries diesel cars are banned
Ethiopia has completely banned the import of petrol and diesel cars. Ethiopia is the first country in the world to do so. Apart from this, according to the decisions taken in 2023, no new fossil fuel-powered cars will be sold in the European Union (EU) from 2035. The European Parliament has formally approved a law that bans the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in the European Union from 2035. This move is being seen as an attempt to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles.
Ban in India
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has said that he wants to completely stop petrol and diesel cars in the next 10 years. However, the government has not yet increased any kind of tax on new diesel cars. For this, the government is currently only considering making a plan. The life of a car is also about 10 to 15 years, so there should be no problem for the next 15 years. Nitin Gadkari has always supported low-pollution vehicles. Nitin Gadkari has also said that while on one hand you spend Rs 100 on petrol, on the other hand you will spend Rs 4 on electric vehicles.
