Tokyo has adopted it. So has Hong Kong and many EU countries. The US and UK too have set a roadmap for their vehicles to meet the Euro IV emission norms by the end of next year.

The Auto Fuel Policy has come under heavy criticism from agencies rooting for a cleaner environment. The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) and TERI claim that the policy has been framed keeping in mind only the oil refineries and ignores the environmental and the public health issues.
