financial year with a fresh start as investments, both from the industry as

- With the start of the new fiscal, North India has moved to
Euro IV standard fuel. The move is expected to bring down the levels of
particulate emissions from diesel vehicles. Euro IV diesel has a much lesser
sulphur content (50 ppm) compared to BS III fuel (350 ppm).While the supply
of Euro IV fuel has started in all north India cities, truck manufacturers
are still not producing engines that can comply with the standards. It will
be only in October that Euro IV-compliant vehicles will be rolled out. That
means Delhi, the national capital, will not experience a big drop in the
levels of pollution for another six months at least. (team-bhp)
