New Delhi, April 22 : Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari announced on Monday that he is considering introducing a law mandating the use of Indian musical instrument sounds as vehicle horns.

Speaking at an event, Gadkari said the aim is to make vehicle horns more pleasant by using sounds like those of the flute, tabla, violin, and harmonium.

He also highlighted that the transport sector is responsible for 40% of the country’s air pollution. To combat this, the Modi government is actively promoting the adoption of green and biofuels such as methanol and ethanol for vehicles.

Gadkari also highlighted the strength of India’s automobile industry, noting that the country earns significant revenue from the export of two-wheelers and cars. He shared that the industry, valued at Rs 14 lakh crore in 2014, has now grown to Rs 22 lakh crore.

Furthermore, he announced that India has overtaken Japan to become the third-largest automobile market globally, trailing only the United States and China.
