Diesel car pile up in Delhi |
The National Green Tribunal`s ban on fresh diesel car registrations in India`s largest market of Delhi till January 6, 2016, has locked car and SUV inventory worth Rs 1,000 crore in Delhi. There is large-scale confusion at dealerships as harried customers - asked to wait for delivery despite making payments - seek details about delays. Some have chosen to register their vehicles outside Delhi in NCR regions such as Noida and Gurgaon , while a section is asking for cancellation of the booking of the diesel variant as they opt for a petrol option. Delhi is estimated to contribute nearly 7% to sales of cars and SUVs in the country and is one of the top markets for premium and higher-variant models. Around 36% cars sold in the city have diesel engines while for SUVs and utility vehicles, this figure is as high as 90%.
