Jassim bin Saif Ahmed Al Sulaiti, Qatar Minister of Transport has called on Union transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari in the national capital on Tuesday.

During the meeting, agendas for sustainable infrastructure development with efficient collaboration between the two nations have been discussed in the presence of senior officials of both countries. On Monday, the Qatari minister also had a discussion with Union ports and shipping minister Sarbananda Sonowal.

“Glad to meet Qatar Minister of Transport HE Jassim Saif Ahmed Al-Sulaiti in New Delhi. Had a wonderful discussion on strengthening – maritime cooperation including the interaction between Indian and Qatari ports,” Sonowal tweeted.

Meanwhile, Gadkari informed parliament in a written answer earlier this week that there is no proposal under consideration in the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to advise banks to provide cheap loans for the purchase of clean energy vehicles.

In response to a query on whether his Ministry proposes to advise banks to provide loans at a cheaper interest rate for the purchase of eco-friendly vehicles, Gadkari said, “No such proposal is under consideration in the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.” He said the Government in September 2021 approved the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for the automotive sector with a budgetary outlay of Rs 25,938 crore. The scheme provides incentives up to 18 per cent for electric vehicles.

Also, another PLI scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cells was approved in May 2021 for cell manufacturing with a budgetary outlay of Rs 18,100 crore. (ANI)
