Maharashtra Pollution Board’s Deleted Tweet on Mercedes Benz Plant Sparks Controversy

 It stated, “Important Notice: Mercedes Benz Assembly Plant Found Non-Compliant. During an inspection on August 23, 2024, by MPCB Chairman Mr. Siddhesh Kadam, it was revealed that the Mercedes Benz assembly plant is not adhering to the pollution control guidelines set by the MPCB.”

In response, Mercedes Benz officials expressed surprise, stating they had not received any formal notice or request from the MPCB about the alleged violations.

The company emphasized its commitment to adhering to stringent global standards for production quality and environmental sustainability. “We are ready to cooperate with the authorities and present all the required processes and documentation, and take any corrective actions if required,” Mercedes Benz said in a statement.
