nollutant or greenhouse gas emissions based on the amount

fuel combusted, the number of animals in animal
on industrial production levels,
husbandry,
distances traveled or similar
activity data.

Emission standards are of two types.

Emission standards for mobile sources
(i) Emission standards for
stationary sources
Emission Standards for Mobile Sources
Mobile sources
include ships, aircraft, automobile and
locomotives in the railroads. Once air quality standards are
established, such standards can be used as the basis for
formulating the emission standards. Hence, the emission
standards represent the emission levels not be exceeded, if air
quality goals are to be achieved.
Bharat Stage Emission Standards are emission
standards instituted by the Government of India to
regulate
the output of air pollutants from internal combustion
engine
equipment, including motor vehicles. The standards and the
timeline for implementation are set by the CPCB under the
MoEF
The standards, based on European regulations were first
introduced in 2000. Progressively stringent norms have been
rolled out since then. All new vehicles manufactured after the
implementation of the norms have to be compliant with the
regulations. As of 2014, the country is under a combination
of Euro 3 and Euro 4-based Euro 6 norms
norms. are planned
to be introduced across the country by the
April 1, 2020.
