It seems auto industry body, SIAM (Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers), still isn’t convinced about AAP government ’s odd-even formula. The association of auto players felt that while the odd-even scheme has certainly made Delhi roads less congested, it still can’t be ascertained that the scheme has served its primary purpose—bringing down the level of pollution in the city.
"As far as plus points of odd-even scheme goes, there is less congestion on the roads but has it lowered the air pollution, we don't know. One positive thing for us is that buses will sell more if it continues as public transport will have to be strengthened," said Vishnu Mathur, director general of SIAM in a report by PTI.
Mathur also noted that if India would become the first country to shift from Euro IV to Euro VI emission norms, if it decides to at all. “For developing of vehicles you have to make the Euro V technology first establish over a period of time and then move to Euro VI. That's what technology providers have been saying. That's how it has been done everywhere. In Europe they did not skip directly to Euro VI. They have gone from Euro V to Euro VI. We will be going for the first time if at all we go,” he added.
The Delhi government has launched the odd-even scheme in a bid to curbair pollution . Recently, the government’s decision to implement the scheme was challenged in Delhi High Court, however, the court has decided not to interfere with the Delhi government’s decision.
