Gadkari asks state FM’s to consider reducing GST on flex-fuel vehicles to 12 pc

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday said state finance ministers should consider reducing Goods and Services Tax (GST) on flex-fuel vehicles to 12 per cent.

Addressing IFGE’s India Bio-Energy & Tech Expo, Gadkari also said there is a need to reduce imports of fossil fuels and encourage the use of biofuel.

“We need support from the finance ministers of different states. I asked Maharashtra’s FM to attend the meeting and propose the reduction of GST on flex-fuel engine cars,” he said.
