Mumbai : Days after the US ordered a probe into German carmaker Volkswagen for allegedly flouting emmission norms, the Heavy Industries Ministry has asked the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) to investigate any possible violations of norms and submit a report by September 30.

Union Heavy Industries Minister Anant Geete said that emission norms in the country are different compared with other countries. “We have asked ARAI to probe whether the company has flouted domestic emission standards and submit its report. If they are found guilty, we will take necessary action,” he said.

The German carmaker is facing up to $18 billion in fine in the US over allegations of cheating pollution tests.  The American probe came after the company recalled a whopping 11 million units sold since 2006.
