The proposal was confirmed by Nitin Gadkari, the Minister of Road Transport and Highways.

Times Of India has learnt that the ministry is taking a final decision on proposing a percentage of tax rebate or fix an amount so that the Finance Ministry can take a call.

According to a few estimates, the pollution caused by one BS-I vehicle is equal to the same amount of pollution caused by 11 new vehicles. One BS-II vehicle causes enough pollution as 7 to 8 new vehicles. Also found was that 60 percent of pollution is caused by heavy vehicles.

The two-wheeler segment is given importance because they are sold in huge numbers. Almost 80 percent of new vehicles sold annually are two-wheelers and they will continue to be sold in the same manner.
