New Delhi: Days after the Supreme Court banned sale and registration of BS-III vehicles, the National Green Tribunal has directed public sector oil companies to submit a roadmap to phase out all such diesel tankers which are not Bharat Stage-IV compliant.
"As far as the BS-III compliant vehicles run by the contractors under the tenders are concerned, within two weeks the Managing Directors of all the three companies along with representatives of the contractors shall hold a meeting and submit to the Tribunal a complete programme in regard to phasing out of all the diesel vehicles which are more than 10 years old and are BS-III compliant," the bench said.
The auto emission norms are emission standards which are adopted by the government to check the air pollutants released from any internal combustion engine equipment, including motor vehicles.
These norms were introduced in India in 2000, when the Bharat Stage norms were adopted by the then government, based on the European emission norms.
