In Brief
This interim application order addresses BS-III vehicle emission standards. The Supreme Court issued notices in pending applications concerning BS-III two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and commercial vehicles. The Court directed the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers to provide detailed information: stock held as of 31 December 2015, and month-to-month manufacturing and sales data from January 2016 onwards, with affidavit evidence of unsold vehicles and their manufacture dates. An amicus curiae indicated plans to seek a complete ban on BS-III vehicle sales and registration from 1 April 2017. The matter was listed for further hearing on 24 March 2017."
