The pollution levels in
Delhi are not a surprise for the citizens of the capital anymore, however, the
recent announcement of the preponement for the launch of BS – VI fuel is
certainly something that comes as a surprise. BS – VI ultra clean fuel which
was supposed to be launched by the year 2020 will be now be launched by April
next year, 2 years ahead of its scheduled launch date.
In the year 2015 it was
decided that from the current Euro – IV grade fuel, India would jump straight
to Euro VI grade fuel by April 2018, however considering the extremely alarming
situations the deadline has been shifted to April 2018 by the Petroleum
Ministry.

According to the
Automobile manufacturers, the Euro – VI grade will obviously hit the roads only
by 2020, but the announcement boosts their confidence for investing in the
manufacturing of these vehicles. As of now few Indian refineries are capable of
producing the ultra clean fuel, with the existing infrastructure.
The fuel retailers in
the capital have been advised to start considering the usage of the ultra clean
fuel in most of the capital regions, including areas that are under NCR.
