Executive Summary:
This notification specifies constant speed fuel consumption standards for heavy-duty commercial vehicles (categories M3 and N3 exceeding twelve tonnes) manufactured or imported for sale, as per the Energy Conservation Act, 2001. The standards are set in accordance with Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989. The first phase of norms took effect from April 1, 2018, and a second phase from April 1, 2021.
Key Points / Main Content:
Fuel Consumption Standards:
* Diesel vehicles (categories M3 and N3, above twelve tonnes) complying with BSIV emission norms must be tested for constant speed fuel consumption.
* Vehicles must meet target diesel fuel consumption values (l/100km) derived from specified equations in tables for Phase 1 (effective April 1, 2018) and Phase 2 (effective April 1, 2021).
* The equations to derive target fuel consumption are based on gross vehicle weight range and axle configuration.
* Four-wheel drive vehicles not explicitly covered are treated as two-wheel drive vehicles and must conform to the two-wheel drive category norms.
Compliance and Enforcement:
* Vehicle manufacturers and importers selling vehicles in India as specified in the tables must comply with these energy consumption standards.
* The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways will implement conformity of production via constant speed fuel consumption method every two years.
* At least one conformity of production for each vehicle must be conducted by April 1, 2020.
* The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways will enforce the norms, including testing, calculation, reporting, consequences of non-compliance, and equivalent vehicle credits for electric vehicles, in consultation with concerned Ministries.
BSIV and BSVI Emission Norms:
* Norms initially apply to vehicles complying with BSIV emission norms.
* For vehicles complying with BSVI emission norms, a suitable correction factor will be derived by a competent authority to be used on the BSIV norm values.
Impact Analysis:
Vehicle Manufacturers/Importers:
* Impact: Must adhere to specified fuel consumption standards for heavy-duty commercial vehicles.
* Action Required: Ensure vehicles meet target fuel consumption values, undergo testing, and comply with reporting requirements.
Ministry of Road Transport and Highways:
* Impact: Responsible for implementing and enforcing the fuel consumption standards.
* Action Required: Implement conformity of production, enforce norms, and consult with relevant Ministries.
Bureau of Energy Efficiency:
* Impact: Consulted in the specification of the constant speed fuel consumption standard.
* Action Required: Continue to provide expertise and support in the implementation and review of the fuel consumption standards.
Key Entities Referenced
Energy Conservation Act, 2001: This is the primary legislation that empowers the Central Government to set energy consumption standards for vehicles. Section 14 and 18 are specifically referenced.
Bureau of Energy Efficiency: The statutory body that is consulted by the Central Government in specifying the fuel consumption standards.
Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989: Rules used to define vehicle categories and to which the constant speed fuel consumption method is implemented under. Also used for enforcement of the norms.
Ministry of Road Transport and Highways: The ministry responsible for implementing and enforcing the fuel consumption norms, including conformity of production and testing methodologies.
BSIV emission norms: Emission standards that vehicles must comply with to be tested for constant speed fuel consumption. This is a baseline standard used in the initial phase.
BSVI emission norms: Emission standards that vehicles must comply with to be tested for constant speed fuel consumption. Correction factor will be applied on BSIV values.
M3: A vehicle category which has at least four wheels and used for the carriage of passengers.
N3: A vehicle category used for the carriage of goods and having a gross vehicle weight exceeding 12 tonnes

accordance with the Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989, for the purpose of manufacturing or importing for
sale of the said category of motor vehicles in the following manner, namely:—
(1) On and from 1st April, 2018, diesel vehicles of category M3 and N3 with gross vehicle weight of twelve
tonnes and above, complying with BS-IV emission norms, shall be tested for constant speed fuel
consumption as specified by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, till the time Bureau of Indian
Standards notify corresponding standards:

(3) All other four wheel drive vehicles which are not covered in the norms shall be treated as two wheel
drive vehicles and shall conform to the norms of their two wheel drive category.
(4) In any fiscal year commencing on and from the 1st day of April, 2018, the fuel consumption of each
vehicle of a particular category shall be less than the fuel consumption value derived from the equation of
that category as specified in the preceding tables.
(5) The norms shall apply only for vehicles complying with BS-IV emission norms and for the vehicles
complying with BS-VI emission norms, the competent authority shall derive a suitable correction factor to be
used on above mentioned BS-IV norm values.
(6) Compliance and enforcement.—(1) All the vehicle manufacturers or vehicle importers selling the motor
vehicles in India, as specified in the Tables, shall comply with the energy consumption standards specified in
this notification;
(2) The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways shall implement the conformity of production by
constant speed fuel consumption method which shall be conducted once in every two years;8 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
(3) At least one conformity of production for the vehicle has to be conducted latest by 1st April, 2020;
(4) The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, shall enforce the norms along with provisions
relating to testing and calculation methodologies, reporting, consequence of non-compliance and
equivalent vehicle credits for electricity driven motor vehicles under the Central Motor Vehicle Rules,
1989, in consultation with Ministries concerned.
