Environment Deadline extended for emission limits in diesel generators Our Bureau
New Delhi , July 16 THE Ministry of Environment and Forests has extended the noise and emission limit compliance date for certain sections of diesel-based generator suppliers provided they have met three conditions laid down by the Ministry. The suppliers of "genset diesel engines, with capacity of up to 19 KW, will now be required to implement the emission limits by July 1, 2005," said the Ministry. Those suppliers of genset diesel engines, with capacities between 176 KW and 800 KW, will have to comply with the emission limits by November 1, 2004. The suppliers of genset diesel engines, having a capacity of more than 19 KW up to 176 KW, are already required to observe the prescribed emission and noise limits. However, this extension will be applicable only to those suppliers who have met with the three conditions specified by the Ministry. They should have obtained type approval certificate for at least one of their engine models in this range by June 30, 2004. Additionally, they are required to submit the bank guarantee and contribute towards the study being carried out by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, for development of genset diesel engines to comply with the emission limits. This will "facilitate the research and development efforts of diesel gensets manufacturers in the small-scale sector, who are carrying out the study with the help of the IISc, Bangalore regarding the control of emission and noise limits of diesel gensets."
