The implementation of Bharat Stage norm is regulated by which government agency in India ?
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)
Bharat Stage (BS) norms are India’s emission standards for internal combustion engines and motor vehicles, modelled on the European (Euro) norms. They were introduced in 2000 and have progressed to BS-VI, enforced nationwide from April 2020.
The standards and their implementation timeline are set and regulated by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the statutory body under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change constituted under the Water Act, 1974, which also discharges functions under the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
CPCB lays down vehicular emission and fuel quality standards, monitors ambient air quality and advises the government on the roll-out of each stage of the norms.
The Ministry of Earth Sciences deals with weather, ocean and earth-system science; the National Green Tribunal is a judicial body that hears environmental disputes rather than regulating emission norms.
Hence, the answer is Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
