It was submitted on behalf of the Union of India that diesel and CNG are
not materially different in the matter of air pollution and instead of 100%
switchover to CNG if there was a mix of CNG and diesel buses of equal

potential of emissions from CNG is far less than even the Euro-IV
standards. This is evident from the following table compiled on the basis
of the said data.
