BS-VI norms
Bharat Stage emission standards are used to regulate output of air pollutants from internal combustion engine. These were introduced by the Union government in 2000
It is based on European regulation. Oil PSUs will invest about Rs 28,750 crore for switching over to BS-VI auto fuels
Vehicles will have to be fitted with DPF (diesel particulate filter), mounted inside the engine compartment.
Reason for Implementation
India pledged at the recent global climate summit to reduce the carbon emission intensity of its GDP by 33-35% by 2030 from 2005 levels.
It has also pledged the creation of an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2030.
