LOK SABHA
As per the information
received from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM),
the sale of Multi-Utility Vehicles (MUVs) is higher as compared
to conventional vehicles in rural and semi-urban regions of the
country. MUVs do have certain design advantages over conventional
vehicles for running on rural roads and rough terrains.
Auto Policy of the
Government contemplates fiscal incentives for MUVs due to their
being an economical mode of transport.
This information
was given by Shri Balasaheb Vikhe Patil, Minister for Heavy Industries
and Public Enterprises in a written reply to a question by Shri
Chandra Vijay Singh in Lok Sabha today.
