Let off again
small-scale diesel generator set manufacturers have once again managed to evade adherence to the Environment (Protection) Second Amendment Rules, 2002. The regulations specify emission norms for various categories of off-road diesel gensets. The Union ministry of environment and forests (moef) recently granted a one-year extension to diesel gensets below 19-kilo watt (kw) capacity for complying with standards that had to be met by July 1, 2004. Manufacturers of these gensets had also succeeded in evading last year's deadline.
The 2002 rules specify air emission standards for four categories of diesel gensets
