The year 2020 will be a landmark one in IndiaтАЩs nascent push towards cleaner fuels. In all likelihood, BS-VI will mark the beginning of the end of diesel vehicles in India. And caught up in an uncertain world environment where the Donald Trump administration in the US is hell-bent on rolling back stringent Obama-era fuel emission norms, a European Union which seems to be willing to pay any cost for cleaner air, and a China that wants to become the global leader in EVs, IndiaтАЩs industry as well as government will be forced to make several hard calls. Hidden amidst those calculations will hopefully be the most essential question of all: how can India move while keeping its air clean at the cheapest possible cost.
