● The Government of India through a `color{Brown}"new auto fuel policy"` has laid out a `color{violet}"roadmap"` to cut down vehicular pollution in Indian cities.
● More `color{violet}"stringent norms"` for fuels means steadily reducing the `color{violet}"sulphur and aromatics content"` in petrol and diesel fuels.
● `color{Brown}"Euro II norms"`, for example, stipulates that `color{violet}"sulphur"` be controlled at `color{violet}"350 parts-per-million"` (ppm) in diesel and `color{violet}"150 ppm"` in petrol.
● `color{violet}"Aromatic hydrocarbons"` are to be contained at `color{violet}"42 per cent"` of the concerned fuel.
● The goal, according to the roadmap, is to reduce `color{violet}"sulphur to 50 ppm"` in petrol and diesel and bring down the level to `color{violet}"35 per cent"`.
● Corresponding to the fuel, `color{violet}"vehicle engines"` will also need to be `color{violet}"upgraded"`.
● The `color{Brown}"Bharat Stage II"` (equivalent to `color{violet}"Euro-II norms"`), which is currently in place in `color{violet}"Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata"`, `color{violet}"Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad"`, `color{violet}"Ahmedabad, Pune, Surat"`, `color{violet}"Kanpur"` and `color{violet}"Agra"`, will be applicable to all automobiles throughout the country from `color{violet}"April 1, 2005"`.
● All `color{violet}"automobiles and fuel"`-petrol and diesel – were to have met the `color{Brown}"Euro III emission"` specifications in these 11 cities from `color{violet}"April 1, 2005"` and have to meet the `color{Brown}"Euro-IV norms"` by `color{violet}"April 1, 2010"`.
● The rest of the country will have `color{Brown}"Euro-III emission norm"` compliant automobiles and fuels by `color{violet}"2010"`.
● Thanks to the efforts made, the `color{violet}"air quality of Delhi"` has significantly `color{violet}"improved"`.
● According to an estimate, a `color{violet}"substantial fall"` in `CO_2` and `SO_2` level has been found in Delhi between `color{violet}"1997 and 2005"`.
