Transport minister Nitin Gadkari says the government is going to go after diesel vehicles heavily. I will bulldoze it (through),” Gadkari told auto industry executives at an annual convention organised by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (Siam). “The auto industry is about large investments and long lead times for product development,” said Rakesh Batra, partner and leader, advisory services, for the automobile industry and transportation sector at consulting firm EY. Critics say the Indian auto industry has tended to react to policy changes instead of anticipating them and moving to adopt new technologies. Whatever we are being asked to do, there is lead time involved and we should not change things very frequently.
