Government in
talks with auto makers for emission norms
Given
the state of air quality in the cities, the government is in talks with
automakers to advance the adoption of Bharat Stage V and VI emission norms by a
year. Stage V norms could now be implemented by 2019 and Stage VI by 2023. Both
the stage upgrades would each entail a cost increase of about Rs40,000 per
vehicle. For the adoption of higher stages of emission norms, the automakers
would have to invest in technology and engine up gradation. However, the supply
of fuel from the refineries as per the higher norms remains the key bottleneck
for faster adoption of emission norms. Bosch which is the leader in fuel
injection systems stands to benefit from the shift to higher emission
standards.
