Which regulatory authority in India is responsible for setting vehicular emission standards ?

  • A.Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH)
  • B.Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)
  • C.Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC)
  • D.National Institution for Transforming India (NITI Aayog)

Answer: A

The key gives the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH).

Vehicle emission norms, the Bharat Stage standards, are notified by MoRTH under the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, which govern how vehicles are type-approved and registered. The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and the CPCB advise on air quality, but the binding vehicle norms are issued through MoRTH's motor vehicle rules.

The Bureau of Indian Standards sets fuel quality specifications, and NITI Aayog is a policy think tank with no regulatory role.
