Indian Government To Investigate All Diesel Vehicles Over Emissions Scandal

The Indian Government is set to investigate all diesel vehicles in the wake of Volkswagen's recall of over 3 lakh cars in the country due to emissions violations.

Ambuj Sharma, Additional Secretary in the Heavy Industries Ministry told PTI, "From the end of this month, we will start testing all passenger diesel vehicles in India to estimate whether they have committed emission violations. The process of testing diesel passenger vehicles by ARAI will be completed in six months."

The VW diesel emissions scandal was first unearthed in the United States in September.
