Addressing a CII conference on Tuesday, she said that the suggestion to lower tax on two-wheelers is a good one as this category is "neither a luxury nor a sin good" and hence merits a rate revision. Consequently, this will be taken up with the GST Council, she added.

Around 10.48 a.m., shares of Hero MotoCorp were trading at Rs 3,095.40, higher by Rs 124.35 or 4.19 per cent from its previous close. It touched its 52-week high of Rs 3,124.95 per share during the initial trade.

Shares of Bajaj Auto were trading at Rs 3,106.85, higher by Rs 96.85 or 3.22 per cent from its previous close.

Similarly, TVS Motor Company's shares were trading 4.51 per cent higher at Rs 465.90 per share.
