The Indian automotive industry is planning to introduce the new emission norms in the domestic market soon, now the organisation has made the amazing suggestion. The Indian government and Indian auto industry don’t want to take these kinds of steps, but that would create massive disorder. By the way, the Indian automakers to produce the vehicles that meet BS-IV emission norms, from April 2017. Besides, the Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) emission norm to be implemented in India-made vehicles from 2020 and this BS VI morn is similar to Euro 5 norms.
In the country, air pollution has caused major concern for the courts and government. More than 2000cc diesel vehicles banned for around 8 months in Delhi-NCR and after that, it was withdrawn to implement the green cess. Moreover, the Delhi odd-even rules implemented in two phases to control the air pollution levels in the national capital regions.
