BS-VI vehicles (The Total Investment & Insurance

In
a bid to curb emissions from the vehicles based on outdated technology, the
Central government has proposed to set the registration deadline for BS-IV
standard vehicles to June 30, 2020. The Total

While
the government had already ordered the implementation of the Bharat Standard-VI
compliant cleaner transport fuels across the nation by April 2020 and by April
2018 in Delhi, it has now invited suggestions and objections in a draft
notification on the Central Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Rules, 2017.
"New
motor vehicles conforming to Emission Standard Bharat Stage-IV, manufactured
before 1st April, 2020 shall not be registered after 30th June, 2020,"
said the notification. The Total Investment
& Insurance Solutions
It
added that if the new motor vehicles of category M (eight-seater cars) and
category N (trucks), conforming to Emission Standard Bharat Stage-IV and
manufactured before April 1, 2020 and sold in the form of drive-away chasis,
then they will not be registered after September 30, 2020.
At
par with its Europen counterpart "Euro-VI", under the BS-VI standard
fuel, petrol and diesel are at the same level of emissions. Apart from this,
while BS IV-compliant fuels which are currently being used in the country, has
50 parts per million (ppm) sulphur, BS VI emits a low 10 ppm.
The
move is being welcomed by the Supreme Court-appointed Environment Pollution
Control Authority (EPCA) that had earlier in April this year recommended to the
apex court that only BS-VI emission standards compliant vehicles should be
allowed to be sold from April 1, 2020.
"This
is a welcoming move as after the Petrolium Ministry (on BS-VI implementation),
the Ministry of Road Transport has taken a wise step," Usman Naseem,
researcher at the Centre for Science and Environment and member of the EPCA,
told. The Total Investment & Insurance

He
added that earlier the automobile industries contended its suggestions
regarding introduction of the BS-VI compliant vehicles citing the lack of
technology. The Total Investment & Insurance
Solutions
"The
same auto manufacturers had been making cars in Europe where Euro-VI is
compulsory, so their logic failed," Naseem said.
Currently,
only BS-IV compliant vehicles are being registered across the nation, after the
Supreme Court ordered that no BS-III vehicles shall be registered after April
1, 2017 onwards. The Total Investment
& Insurance Solutions
The
move however did not came well on the auto industries, except only a hand few,
due to huge stock of BS-III compliant vehicles.
The
government had earlier made it clear that India shall shift directly to BS-VI,
skipping BS-V.The Total Investment & Insurance
