BENGALURU/NEW DELHI: Volkswagen will challenge a ruling by the National Green Tribunal that imposed a fine of 5 billion rupees on the German carmaker for emission violations.
An investigation by government in 2015 found that Volkswagen had flouted local pollution limits and the company was forced to recall 323,700 cars in the country. That ruling came two months after it admitted to cheating U.S. diesel emissions tests."The Volkswagen Group in India reiterates that all cars from the group are compliant with the emission norms defined in India," Volkswagen Group India said in a statement.
In January NGT fined Volkswagen 1 billion rupees in a separate case relating to excess emissions of nitrogen oxide, a smog-forming pollutant linked to lung and heart disease.Volkswagen had responded by saying its cars complied with India's emissions regulations, but it would comply with the order and pay the fine.
