Temporary Emission Norm To Be Set up By Government; Before Bharat-V
An intermediate emission is being planned by the government, before the Bharat Stage V is implemented. Giving Oil companies and auto manufacturers preparation time before the switch is made, which would cost around 80,000 crore Rupees.
The petroleum ministry is to suggest a timeline as well as a standard for moving to higher emission norms for the country. A recommendation of implementing Bharat Stage IV+ before Bharat Stage V emission norm is set to appear.
Bharat stage is an emission norm, instituted by the government. It regulates the air pollution from combustion engines which include motor vehicles.
The committee will be finalising a report and will submit it in March. It proposes, BS-IV+ norms will permit sulphur content of 40 ppm in comparison to 50 ppm under BS-IV norms.
A Rs 30,000 crore investment was made by oil marketing companies to switch from BS-III to BS-IV norms. Investments of Rs 80,000 crore would be required to set-up BSV-compliant fuel, is expected by industry experts.
European emission norms have been followed in India, due to the ready technology and less investment in research. However, intermediary norm don't exist, vehicles would have to be customised to india specific fuel.
The existing emission norms was laid on the National Auto Fuel Policy of 2003. Which was in turn based on Mashelkar committee report of 2002. It laid the road map for setting up the Bharat Stage norms upto 2010.
