466. Driving in India with Qatar Driving License . . .

Questions: Dear Sir / Madam, I am residing in Doha-Qatar (Arabian Gulf) & having valid Qatari Driving License. If I am vising Mumbai / Pune & staying for a month period for some work and if I want to drive a car, can I drive on this valid driving license or I need to take International Driving License from Doha-Qatar? Your earliest reply would be highly appreciated. Best regards, Vivek Nimkar Answer: You need a International driving license as well as your Qatar driving license to drive in India.
