Govt proposes to defer BS-VI norms for construction equipment to 2021
The ministry of road transport and highways is contemplating to defer the stricter fuel emission norms for construction equipment, vehicles, tractors, and harvesters. This comes after requests by the agriculture ministry and equipment manufacturers, seeking some more time for implementing the next stage of emission norms. The transport ministry has proposed that BS-VI rules, which were to apply on construction equipment vehicles from October 1 onwards, be deferred to April 2021. Looking at the crisis posed by the outbreak of Covid-19 in the country, the transport ministry has floated a draft document for deferment of the BS-IV norms to March 31, 2021, but a final decision will be taken after suggestions from stakeholders have been duly considered. The pandemic has brought several sectors to a halt, with the construction equipment industry among the worst hit. The proposal is likely to ease liquidity issues of agricultural and construction equipment manufacturers in the country.
