## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT, FOREST AND CLIMATE CHANGE (SHRI ASHWINI KUMAR CHOUBEY)

- (a) and (b)

Government is aware of the issue of emissions from in-use diesel generator sets. Upgradation of  in-use  diesel  generator  for  emission  control  requires  installation  of  Retro-fit  Emission Control Devices (RECD). For this purpose, RECD must be type approved from Certification Agencies as per System & Procedure.  As on date, there is no type approved RECD.

Government has taken following steps to ensure speedy up gradation:

- i. MoEFCC notified emission norms for diesel  generator set engines vide GSR 771E dated 11.12.2013 under Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
- ii. Central pollution Control Board (CPCB) is the Nodal Agency for coordination and implementation of provision of said GSR related to control of emissions from DG sets of capacity less than 800 KWs at manufacturing stage.
- iii. Central  pollution  Control  Board  (CPCB)  has  constituted  a  Standing  Committee comprising of national level experts and stake-holders to look into matters pertaining to enforcement of Diesel Generator (DG) set emission rules.
- iv. A  dedicated  Sub-Committee  has  been  constituted  for  development  of  Standard Operating  Procedure  (SOP)  for  RECD.  This  Sub-Committee  is  headed  by  Head  of R&D Division of Indian Oil Corporation, Faridabad and members from Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), International Centre for Automotive Technology  (ICAT),  Indian  Institute  of  Petroleum  (IIP),  Indian  Diesel  Engine Manufacturers Association (IDEMA), Maharashtra SPCB, Tamil Nadu SPCB, Uttar Pradesh SPCB and CPCB.
- v. The System & Procedure for Testing of RECD had been put up on CPCB web site for inviting  suggestion(s).  The  suggestions  received  so  far  have  been  examined  by  the Sub-committee for finalization of System & Procedure.
