Toward the end of March, the media and activists highlighted the so-called irresponsible behaviour of the auto industry regarding BS-III/IV. I feel that there is a need to present a more balanced perspective on the whole issue.
To be fair to the industry, it never questioned the deadline of April 1, 2017, as the date of “manufacturing”. No request for deferment or delay. It was a part of an emission road map of over a decade which ensured smooth transition to the next level of emission technologies. There was no debate, no dissent. Then, why was an unnecessary fuss created?
