Amid concerns raised by automakers over strict emission norms, Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari will meet heads of over 30 top car makers, including BMW, Honda and Volkswagen, on Thursday.
The meeting is convened close on the heels of the government announcing moving directly from BS IV emission norms for petrol and diesel to BS VI norms, in a major step to curb vehicular pollution.
“The Road Transport and Highways Minister would address the industry (automobile) heads to exhort them to support the Make in India programme. The meeting tomorrow is likely to be attended by more than 30 heads of automobile manufacturing industries in India,” an official said.
Sources said the Minister would urge automakers to manufacture BS VI compliant vehicles and also appeal them to develop home-grown technologies to build environment-friendly car engines under the Make in India drive.
