Javadekar takes suggestions from auto industry leaders to reboot sector

He said that the industry has a significant contribution to the GDP of the country

Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprise Prakash Javadekar on Thursday held a meeting with the auto industry leaders where they suggested ways to restart the industry after the Covid-19 lockdown gets over.

"All the auto industry captains were present in a meeting via video conferencing. The auto sector is a mass employer and contributes the maximum GST amongst all sectors. This industry has a significant contribution to the GDP of the country. Last year, the industry suffered because of a planned migration from BS-IV to BS-VI compliant vehicles. This was one change which made the customers postpone their purchases," Javadekar
