Car-makers' body seeks govt intervention to resolve crisis

Car-makers, under the aegis of the Association of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, today approached the ministry of surface transport seeking immediate intervention to resolve the crisis emerging out of the Supreme Court order on emission norms.

Prior to approaching the ministry, the automobile manufacturers today held a meeting to discuss the implication of the order. The manufacturers have decided to chalk out the final strategy and the time schedule by when they would be able to meet the Euro norms after the AIAM executive committee meeting in Pune on May 8.

According to an AIAM member, the association was still studying the implications of the April 29 order of the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, the automobile component manufacturers have already sought review of the Supreme Court order stating that the statutory dates for meeting Euro-I and Euro-II norms be changed to April 1, 2000 and April 1, 2002 respectively.
