Various associations, including Manesar Industries Welfare Association and Gurugram Industrial Association, have also sough more time with regard to phasing out of fuel-based vehicles and switching to electric vehicles (EVs).

“We do appreciate environmental concerns, but immediate switch will render majority of machinery and vehicles useless. The switch will also require a massive budget, and not all industries are in a state to afford that,”claimed members of Manesar Industries Welfare Association.
