India’s Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, has confirmed that there will be no increase in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates for diesel vehicles. This announcement comes as a relief for the automotive industry and consumers, as there were concerns about potential GST hikes affecting diesel vehicle prices. The decision to maintain current GST rates for diesel vehicles is expected to support the automotive sector and the production of diesel-powered vehicles in the country. It aligns with the government’s efforts to promote sustainable and cleaner transportation options while not imposing additional burdens on consumers and the industry. This move underscores the government’s commitment to balancing environmental concerns with economic considerations in the automotive sector.
