An Evaluation of the Vehicular Pollution Law in India

Abstract

Due to its detrimental effects on human health, urban air pollution is a serious global concern. Since vehicular emissions make up the majority of the pollution in cities, many nations have implemented various measures to reduce vehicular emissions. Around the world, including in India, vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) programmes have been crucial in reducing and managing vehicular emissions. One of the key elements of I/M programme that India has implemented is the certification of the pollution of in-use cars. The number of automobiles on the road is expected to rise as the economy grows. It must be viewed as an unavoidable evil. However, this cannot be regarded as a normal part of life because the issue of vehicle pollution seriously degrades the quality of the air and ultimately puts human lives in grave danger. The government's many initiatives as well as the judiciary's admirable efforts are mentioned in the paper. Changes that are necessary to better manage the threat of vehicle pollution have been considered.
