NEW DELHI: Ultra-clean Euro-VI grade petrol and diesel, at no additional worth, will probably be provided within the nationwide capital from the next day to come in a bid to combat alarming ranges of air air pollution.
Delhi would be the first city within the country to leapfrog from Euro-IV grade petrol and diesel to Euro-VI. Cities within the nationwide capital region like Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad as well as 13 main towns together with Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune will transfer over to cleaner Euro-VI grade fuel from January 1 subsequent 12 months. Rest of the rustic will follow go well with from April 2020.
State-owned oil companies will begin supplying the BS-VI petrol and diesel (an identical to fuel assembly Euro-VI emission norm) at all their 391 petrol pumps within the nationwide capital territory (NCT) from the next day to come, stated Indian Oil Corp (IOC) Director (Refineries) B V Rama Gopal.
While the oil corporations have invested closely to produce cleaner fuel, the patrons are not being handed on any of the cost for the time being, he stated.
"Rest assured we don't have plans of passing on the cost to consumers. There are no plans to recover (the cost) from customers immediately," he informed reporters right here.
Costing smart, the cleaner fuel should value around 50 paisa a litre extra.
He stated a mechanism of recovering the cost when the entire country shifts to Euro-VI grade fuel can be worked out.
To meet Delhi's annual consumption of 9.6 lakh tonnes of petrol and 12.65 lakh tonnes of diesel, Mathura refinery in Uttar Pradesh, Panipat refinery in Haryana, Bina in Madhya Pradesh and Bhatinda in Punjab have started producing Euro-VI grade fuel. About Rs 183 crore has been spent on Panipat refinery alone for producing cleaner fuel.
Other refineries are within the strategy of being upgraded, he stated.
India had in 2015 decided to leapfrog to Euro-VI emission norm compliant petrol and diesel from April 2020, from the Euro-IV grade at the moment.
While the time limit for the remainder of the rustic stands, the same for Delhi, which is choking on thick poisonous smog, was introduced forward. Euro-VI grade fuel accommodates 10 portions in line with million (ppm) of sulphur as in opposition to 50 ppm in Euro-IV fuels.
Gopal stated the cleaner Euro-VI fuel and lesser grade cars and two-wheelers, which can be presently to be had within the country, would lead to 10-20 in line with cent relief in particulate emission but for complete advantages, the automobiles too want to have Euro-VI engines.
"BS-VI petrol and diesel supplies from tomorrow give comfort to automobiles manufacturers that supplies of cleaner fuel would not be a problem," the professional stated.
IOC, the nation's biggest oil company controlling more or less part of retail fuel market, will supply the BS-VI fuel to fulfill Delhi's requirement from its Mathura and Panipat refineries, whilst Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd (HPCL) will achieve this from its three way partnership refinery at Bhatinda. Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) will provide the fuel from its Bina refinery.
According to IOC, for petrol engines, one of the crucial vital specifications is Research Octane No. (RON), which has stepped forward from 88 in BS-II to 91. It is at par with common 91 octane gas (petrol) required for Euro VI emission norms.
Sulphur specification for petrol and diesel will probably be reduced 50 times from a level of 500 ppm for BS-II fuel to 10 ppm in BS-VI.
Previously, the fuels assembly Euro-IV or Bharat Stage (BS)-IV specifications have been to be provided throughout the rustic by way of April 2017 and BS-V or Euro-V grade fuel by way of April 1, 2020. But now the government plans to change over at once from BS-IV to BS-VI auto fuels.
Oil refineries had in the past upgraded generation and invested over Rs 55,000 crore for production and provide of BS-III/IV fuels. Oil refineries will want to make investments Rs 28,000 crore in upgrading petrol and diesel high quality to fulfill cleaner fuel specifications by way of 2020.
