Gadkari backs IIT Delhi innovation that can cut old diesel vehicle pollution by 90%
Nitin Gadkari said the government will allow older diesel trucks and buses to use an IIT Delhi retrofit device. The low-cost technology has cleared testing and could sharply cut emissions while complementing vehicle replacement efforts.
Gadkari says govt will allow Rs 5,000 IIT-Delhi innovation to be retrofitted for old diesel trucks and buses; device can cut particulate pollution up to 90% and bring emissions on par with BS-VI
Speaking at an event organised by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (Siam), Gadkari said the technology, developed from an innovation at IIT-Delhi, had successfully completed testing. The devices can be fitted on BS-IV, BS-III and older diesel vehicles, bringing their emissions to levels comparable with BS-VI vehicles.
There is a big relief news for owners of old BS-III and BS-IV diesel trucks and buses. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has announced a retrofit emission control device costing ₹4,000 to ₹5,000. This technology, developed by IIT Delhi, will make the emissions of old vehicles almost as clean as BS-VI levels.
