What is there in the latest news on diesel car ban in Delhi policy
Recently there has been news on the diesel car ban in Delhi but what exactly is the policy ,
The main aim of this move is to curb air pollution, leading the way to electric vehicles. Typically, 25% of total cars account for commercial vehicles such as trucks, buses, and taxis. But now the trend has changed. Diesel cars and SUVs are in vogue with Indian consumers, especially in the mid-range and high-end segments. Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas declared that Diesel Ban India will come into effect in the metropolitan cities first. Where the population is more than 1 million.
Which sector would have more impact due to the Diesel ban in India, let us find out.
How Diesel leads to more pollution
Before diving deep into it, let us first understand why diesel engine creates more pollution. Diesel engine requires more combustion as a result engines produce higher levels of harmful pollutants, such as nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), compared to petrol engines.
Though India is the major producer and consumer of Diesel fuel, These pollutants have been linked to a range of health problems, including respiratory diseases and cancer. The ban on diesel engines is part of the government’s efforts to combat air pollution and improve public health.
Will diesel car ban in Delhi affect Diesel engine and Economy
As per the reports and study, a ban would impact the transport sector more than the passenger sector won’t see such restrictions for the initial period. If Diesel engine is banned, India would have economic implications affecting the demand for diesel fuel. Resulting in a drop for prices of crude oil and diesel, which could affect the income of oil-producing countries and oil companies.
Further, it would also affect the GDP and employment opportunities. Also, manufacturers have invested a large sum of money in making the diesel engine complaint to BS 6 AND 6.2.
Diesel-powered vehicles are majorly used in India’s commercial sector and the ban could have significant economic implications.
There is a proposal for a mix of electric buses and subways for urban transportation by 2030 by the panel called the Energy Transition Advisory Committee. But does India have the infrastructure and resources to support the widespread adoption of electric vehicles?
This is the biggest question mark, Hence a total diesel ban by 2027 is highly unlikely.
