Gadkari calls for quality over cost, says petrol-diesel vehicles have no future
Nitin Gadkari said diesel and petrol engines have no future and asked manufacturers to move towards cleaner fuels. He also told bus makers to improve quality and safety as demand for public transport grows.
The era of petrol and diesel vehicles appears to be slowly coming to an end.
