The Supreme Court-appointed green panel Environment Pollution Control Authority EPCA has recommended high pollution cess of up to 25 per cent on the cost of diesel cars above 2,000 cc. <br/><br/>EPCA reasoned that imposition of steep cess was imperative to control air pollution in the national capital by making diesel vehicles cost prohibitive. <br/><br/>In a note to the apex Court, the EPCA suggested that an environment compensation charge of 10 per cent of the vehicle's cost be imposed on diesel cars with engines up to 1200cc.<br/><br/>According to EPCA the environment compensation charge for cars with engines up to 2000cc should be 20 per cent and 25 per cent for those above 2000cc.
