Significantly, Nitin Gadkari had earlier stressed on the need to adopt safety norms for cars in the country. Gadkari had said that he should also think about the safety of people using small economy cars.
He said that most of the automobile manufacturers in India are exporting cars with 6 airbags. But because of its high cost, they are hesitant to buy these cars. Gadkari wonders why automobile manufacturers are not thinking about the lives of people using economy cars in the country.
