India: The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) has asked the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change to delay a deadline for compliance to emission standards by two years to 2019. New regulations covering emissions of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter for plants that do not co-process alternative fuels were due to be implemented from 31 March 2017, according to the Financial Express newspaper. However, the DIPP says that it doesn’t think that the industry is ready to adhere to them yet.
