(http://www.firstpost.com/business/postIn a major — and perhaps the boldest so far — step to curb vehicular pollution, India is

moving directly from Euro IV emission norms for petrol and diesel to Euro VI

standards and the oil PSUs plans to invest Rs 28,750 crore for the transition.

The decision was taken at an interministerial meeting on 6 January to advance the

date by four years to 1 April, 2020 for the implementation of Bharat Stage VI

(equivalent to Euro VI norms followed globally) for supply of cleaner auto fuel, by

altogether skipping the Euro V grade norms.

The auto emission norms are emission standards which are adopted by the government

of a nation to check the air pollutants released from any internal combustion engine

equipment, including motor vehicles.

According to the Centre for

Science and Environment, the

move to Bharat StageVI will

bring down Nitrogen Oxide

emissions from diesel cars by

68 per cent and 25 per cent

from petrol engined cars.

Cancer causing particulate

matter emissions from diesel

engined cars will also come

down by a phenomenal 80 per

cent, reports NDTV

(http://www.ndtv.com/india

news/indiatoskipbharatstagevstrictercaremissionnormsadvancedto2020

1262957).

The decision has been taken at a time when an intense debate is going on rising level of

pollution, while an innovative oddeven formula is being tried in the National Capital to

check vehicular pollution.

Bharat Stage emission standards, introduced by the Union government in 2000 are

used to regulate output of air pollutants from internal combustion engine.

These norms were introduced in India in 2000, when the Bharat Stage norms were

adopted by the then government, based on the European emission norms. Each stage

specifies a certain limit on the pollutants released, which is controlled by the type of

fuel made by the oil companies and the upgradations and modifications made by the

auto firms to their vehicles to control the pollutants released from the vehicle.

India currently has Bharat StageIII (equivalent of EuroIII specifications) across the

country and BSIV in major cities. BSIV will be supplied in most big cities by April

2016 and all over the country from April 2017.

While Auto Fuel Policy had recommended implementation of BSVI norms by 2024, Oil

Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in October 2015 stated that his ministry will go straight

from BSIV to BSVI by 2020 as there was not much difference in specifications of

EuroV and EuroVI fuel.

Refineries will be able to supply BS IV to the entire country only next year and then

upgrade directly to BS VI, leapfrogging the intermediate stage of emission norms.

The refinery upgrade, which reduces sulphur content by onesixth, will mean big

business opportunities for firms such as Larsen & Toubro and Engineers India, along

with foreign technology suppliers, reports The Economic Times

(http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/201601

07/news/69589974_1_emissionnormsengineersindiabsiv).

Stateowned Indian Oil Corp (IOC) will also invest Rs 21,000 crore in upgrading six

refineries to produce EuroVI grade petrol and diesel by April 2020, its director

(Refineries) Sanjiv Singh said on Thursday.

The investment on upgradation will raise the production cost of petrol by Rs 1.40 per

litre and diesel by Rs 0.63.

IOC, the nation's largest oil firm, is investing Rs 7,000 crore in upgrading fuel quality

from Bharat StageIII, equivalent to EuroIII emission norm, to BSIV by next year, he

said.

Another, Rs 13,00014,000 crore will be invested in six units to upgrade fuel quality

straight to BSVI or EuroVI, he added.

However, the Transport Ministry in a draft notification in November put the date for

supply of BSVI fuel at 1 April, 2021.

BSIV fuels contain 50 parts per million (ppm) sulphur, while BSV and BSVI grade

fuel will have 10 ppm sulphur.

Automobile industry body SIAM, which has been opposing the skipping of BS V to jump

to BS VI, said it would comment only after seeing the notification.
