Also, the Indian automotive industry will be the first to skip BS-V (BS5) emission norms and directly target BS-VI (BS6) norms by the year 2020. Even developed countries took around ten years to achieve the same, developing progressively step-by-step.

SIAM has confirmed that news about the Indian automotive industry asking for time to comply with BS-IV norms or trying to postpone dates are false, deliberately made to criticise the industry.
