Explanation:

• The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has recently slammed a Rs 500 Crore penalty on Volkswagen for installing ‘Cheat Devices‘ in their cars which helped the company cheat through emission tests.

• This comes after the German auto major has not deposited Rs 100 crore in accordance with NGT‘s November 16, 2018 order.

• On November 16, 2018, the tribunal had said that the use of 'cheat device' by Volkswagen in diesel cars in India leads to the inference of environmental damage and had asked Volkswagen to deposit an interim amount of Rs 100 crore with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
