There is an urgent need to improve fuel quality and implement stricter norms to check vehicular emissions and poor air quality in Indian cities, renowned environmentalist R.K. Pachauri said in New Delhi on June 23 2014. "The unconstrained growth of motor vehicles in recent years has become a major source of pollution, which not only affects air quality adversely wherever vehicles ply, but also adds to emissions of greenhouse gases at the global level," said Pachauri, director general, The Energy and Resource Institute (TERI). He was speaking at a workshop on "Reducing Vehicular Emissions and Improving Fuel Efficiency".
