Meanwhile, the US authorities stated that they would widen the probe to other automakers as well.

German officials, alarmed at the potential damage the scandal could inflict on its car industry, urged Volkswagen to fully clear up the matter and said it would investigate whether emissions data had also been falsified in Europe.

"You will understand that we are worried that the justifiably excellent reputation of the German car industry and in particular that of Volkswagen suffers," German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel said.

The stock opened at Rs 260 and touched a low of Rs 239.65 on the BSE. A total of 884,008 shares changed hands on the BSE so far.
