Tightening the norms, the government today said imports of Euro-III compliant motorcycles would be allowed only up to March 31 next year.
In a notification, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) said after that deadline, only Euro-IV compliant motorcycles would be allowed to be imported.
"Import of Euro-III and Euro-IV compliant motorcycle shall be allowed to be imported till 31/03/2017 and thereafter, only import of Euro-IV compliant motorcycles would be allowed," the DGFT.
The move comes at a time when pollution has become a major concern specially in metro cities and the national capital in particular where odd-even for passenger vehicles was introduced last month.
Compared to Euro-III, the Euro-IV emission norms are stricter.
