It is important to note that only BS IV vehicles are allowed in NCR and other major cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmadabad, Bangalore, Hyderabad including Secunderabad, Kanpur, Pune, Surat, Agra, Lucknow and Sholapur since April 2010 and further 20 cities were added to this list in April this year. As per the notification only those newly manufactured four-wheeled vehicles, which are compliant with the BS-IV standards will be allowed to register and move on roads with effect from the notified dates in the notified areas.
The Government has made it mandatory due to the fact that e- supply of BS-IV complaint petroleum fuels are now available in these areas and these specifications will further reduce the emissions of Carbon Mono-oxide(CO), Hydrocarbon (HC), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Sulphur (SOx) which are much less in BS-IV fuel as compared to BS III fuel.
