World's cleanest petrol, diesel are now being supplied in Delhi

New Delhi: World's cleanest petrol and diesel are now being supplied in Delhi after state-owned oil firms advanced rollout of Euro-VI grade fuel by two years in a bid to combat alarming levels of air pollution. 

 

Since Sunday, Delhi has become the first city in the country to leapfrog from Euro-IV grade petrol and diesel to Euro-VI, which just contains 10 parts per million (ppm) of sulphur as against 50 ppm in previous grade of fuel. 

 

Speaking at an event to mark the occasion, oil minister Dharmendra Pradhan said the oil industry has shown its commitment to providing clean fuel and now it is time for the automobile industry to also start introducing Euro-VI vehicles. 

 

"Vehicle manufacturers in India are exporting Euro-VI vehicles to Europe. So they only have to change the driving seat and introduce the vehicles here," he said. 

 

Pradhan said oil industry has invested Rs 30,000 crore in upgrading technology and processes to produce ultra-clean BS-VI petrol and diesel (equivalent to fuel meeting Euro-VI emission norms) and would meet the April 2020 deadline for introducing such fuel all over the country. 

 

Originally, Euro-V grade fuel was to be introduced from 2020 and Euro-VI from 2024. But the oil industry decided to skip Euro-V grade and advanced Euro-VI rollout date to April 2020.

In recent times, the opening of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in BKC has further solidified its status as a cultural hub. Amadeo is the Oberoi group's standalone restaurant housed inside the centre and we were recently hosted for lunch there. Here are some of the highlights of our memorable afternoon: Photo Credit: Amadeo by Oberoi The menu at Amadeo by Oberoi rests on four pillars or "micro-concepts" that represent four cuisines: Indian, Italian, Chinese and Japanese. The small plates, large plates and cocktails are thus divided into these four broad categories. At the helm of the kitchen are Executive Chef Kayzad Sadri and Chef Gregorio Oblen, who specialises in Japanese cuisine. They are joined by Alisha Rampal as
