Date:3 February 2017
The Environment Pollution Control Authority (EPCA), an autonomous Supreme Court-mandated organisation, has asked the automobile industry associations and the state transport departments to stop registering all vehicles — including trucks, buses, cars, SUVs, two-wheelers and three-wheelers — with BS-III engines from April 1. Earlier the government had mandated that vehicles manufactured until March 31, 2017 with BS-III engines, can be registered.
