Moving on to news from automobile sector. According to a leading financial daily, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has ordered the Road Transport Office (RTO) of Delhi to de-register all diesel vehicles over 10 years old.

De-registration of older vehicles would mean that these vehicle owners will now look to buy new vehicles thus triggering more demand for new cars. Reportedly, Delhi and NCR account for 6-8% of diesel cars and commercial vehicles demand in the country.

This is an encouraging news for auto makers. This comes at a time when vehicle sales are already looking up due to reducing interest costs, good monsoon and expected benefits of seventh pay commission dole outs.
