							Auto Fuel Policy – Issues &
      Way Forward
• Future review should be based on the data being
  generated under AQM programme

• Balance of global standards and Indian specific
  measures be made to achieve Air Quality Standards
  at least cost

• Fuel economy standards should be implemented

• CNG vis-à-vis clean     diesel   technologies   need
  systematic assessment

• CRRI type of study with newly ARAI developed
  emission factors to be conducted afresh to assess
  present pollution load from different type of
  vehicles and fuels
• Offsetting Challenges and Issues, there
  is gradual improvement in Fuel Quality
  in line with Auto fuel Policy
  – Refineries are geared up as per the road
    map of expert committee
  – Huge capital investments leading to
    increased production cost
  – Compensation to refineries is required
• Vehicle Technology movement in line with
  the Mashelkar Committee recommendation
  – Cost benefit Analysis needs to be done
  – Fuel Quality to be maintained at Retail Outlets
  – Urea injection at ROs

• Fuel Market segmentation            for   Optimal
  resource management
  –   On-road application
  –   Off-road application
  –   Fuel for Railways
  –   However concern raised for misuse of cheaper
      fuel

• Japanese / Indian Specific Fuel Quality
  standards need to be studied
• Fuel quality and Vehicle Technology in line
  with Auto Fuel Policy
     – Integrated approach needed for better
       Ambient Air Quality

• I&M should be implemented across the
  country for in-use vehicle

• Innovative approach & new technologies thru
  R&D and willingness to look beyond fossil
  fuels would sustain the industry in longer
  time
• Need to Think
  – National Auto Pollution & Fuel
    Authority (NAPFA) to be reconsidered
    by Government
  – Beyond Fuel Quality and Vehicle
    Technology
  – Beyond 2010 for timely
    preparedness.
