Planning To Buy A Diesel Vehicle? You Need To Watch This

Recently, the report submitted by a panel formed by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas recommended a complete ban on diesel-powered vehicles by 2027 in cities with a population of more than 1 million and a push towards a transition to electric and gas-fuelled vehicles. The Energy Transition Advisory Committee, chaired by former petroleum secretary Tarun Kapoor, has also recommended that city transport should be a mix of Metro trains and electric buses by 2030. Another key recommendation of the report is to phase out internal combustion-powered motorcycles, scooters, and three-wheelers by 2035. If you are planning on buying a car or any other diesel or internal combustion engine-run vehicle, watch this to find out the things you should keep in mind.
