The bench said those BS 4 diesel vehicles purchased by Municipal Corporations before April 1 and are used by essential services like garbage lifting and public utilities will be registered as per BS 4 norms.

Earlier in March, an application was filed by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) seeking the extension of sale and registration of BS 4 vehicles for a month.

The FADA, while approaching the top court, had sought an extension of the March 31 deadline for the sale of BS 4 vehicles on grounds of the loss of sales due to the lockdown imposed in view of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The FADA had also cited large possible bankruptcies, jobs at stake. In March, the bench had thereby relaxed the March 31 deadline to clear the unsold stock of BS 4 vehicles.

It had allowed 10 per cent of the unsold BS-IV vehicles to be sold within 10 days of the end of the lockdown due to Covid-19.

This scenario developed as such because India decided to switch to the world's cleanest emissions standard from April 1. It has gone straight to Euro 6 emission standards from Euro 4.
