Government urge to open authorized automated fitness stations by october 2018 to examine vehicles

Indian automobile industry is one of the key drivers of Indian economy. Since liberalization in 1991 industry has come a long way producing different types of vehicles broadly classified into passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles.

Sector is boosting the Indian economy by improving productivity and creating employment opportunities which is great, but on the other hand, out of many reasons automobile sector has become one of the main reasons of air pollution. As many petrol passenger vehicles has been converted to diesel versions which are much more polluting as it gives more mileage and comes cheap.

Among the 20 most polluted cities out of which 13 are in India, Delhi topped the list.

While planning to take a stand government has decided to open the authorized automated fitness stations in India by 1^st October’2018.

Government is planning to face the problem at hand by verifying both transport and non-transport vehicles in a planned automated way in near future, as according to IFTRT (Indian Foundation of Transport Research and Training) government should focus on road worthiness of vehicles rather than on vehicle scrappage.

Apart from these, the country is planning to be strict on real driving emission tests of new vehicles. As they plan to fix the vehicular pollution by giving CoP (Confirmation of Product) only to those who confirm the requisition tests through automated procedures. This will stop unsafe vehicles from coming on roads and will also stop human interference like motor vehicle inspectors etc. in testing procedures which will stop easy money.

Some states are not yet ready to acknowledge the new scheme, till then idea has been deferred so that states could make up their mind about adequate number of stations in the country.

On the topic Sameer Malhotra (CEO, Shriram Automall ) said “ I am glad that government is so keen about making the country pollution free, and as a capable citizens of the country, we at Shriram Automall would love to play the role in same by accepting and committing to the new schemes and stations in the country.”
