Two-wheeler which is the highest selling segment of the Indian Automobile industry is all set to receive some tighter emission norms this week. The segment is collectively responsible for contributing significantly towards air pollution.
As per recent study around 80% of the total automobile sales in India are two-wheelers, which are responsible for emitting four to five times more oxides of nitrogen when compared to petrol cars.
Various studies conducted have suggested that pollution caused by two-wheelers in cities like Delhi is very high. Out of the 1.97 crore vehicles sold in India in 2014-15, two-wheelers accounted for 1.6 crore. While we support the industry as it is a vehicle for middle-income groups, two-wheelers need to comply with stricter emission norms," said a government official.

Two-wheeler manufactures in India had earlier opposed this decision citing that tighter emission norms would impact the mileage of the vehicle significantly. As per the government norms NOx emission limit for BS-IV standard petrol car is 0.08 gram/km but for a two-wheeler, it is 0.39 gram/km. The BS-IV standard for new two-wheeler models will come into force from April 2016 & for existing model from April 2017.
With the government focusing on making long term policies that will help combat the air pollution, we hope that the companies & end customers understand the necessity of the same. While the government is making it compulsory for the manufacturers they would not have a hold on the say of customers as the two-wheelers with BS-IV standard will be slightly high on cost.
