On 21st Februray'2018,
government told Supreme Court, how it has met the deadline of making BS-VI fuel
available in the country, two years prior. Cleaner Euro-VI petrol and diesel
would be dispensed at all retail outlets in the National Capital from April 1. After
covering NCR, the government intends to make BS-VI grade fuel in the rest of
the country.
The government decided to switch
over to BS-VI grade fuel directly from BS-IV skipping BS-V, as in India, number
of registered vehicles in the national capital crossed the 1-crore mark in May
last year, raising the further concerns over pollution levels and poor traffic
conditions in the city. Data put out by Delhi government’s transport department
put the number of registered vehicles in the city at 1,05,67,712 till May 25,
2017, including 31,72,842 cars. The biggest chunk of registered vehicles in the
city is motorcycles and scooters (66, 48,730 units), which are known as major
polluters due to poor emission standards.
With BS-VI emission standards
coming in and being implemented for all segments, the particulate matter in the
norm will reduce by 82% and nitrogen oxide (NOx) by 68%; PM and NOx emissions
from two-wheelers will reduce by 89% and 76%, respectively; and PM and NOx
emissions from trucks and buses will drop by 50% and 89%, respectively.
Further according to Centre for
Science and Environment (CSE), BS-VI fuel would bring down sulphur content by
five times from the current BS-IV levels i.e. 80% reduction will be witnessed.
Also, the moment current fleet will upgrade to better fuel quality, the
difference would be felt. But the maximum benefit will only be felt when the
automobile technology is advanced to support BS-VI fuel.
