Tata Cummins Limited (TCL), a leading manufacturer of diesel engines in India, confronted a number of challenges in meeting the October 2010 deadline for brand new automobile emissions standards. These standards are identified as Bharat Stage (BS) standards which range from BS I to BS V. The topic of this case - the BS III standard - was introduced in 2005 for just 11 cities across India and then made compulsory for the whole state by October of 2010.
At that time, the BS IV standard had already been implemented in a few big cities and it was this standard that was expected to exist nationwide by 2017. Revealing on their successful experience to the 2010 auto emissions standards, the vice-president of TCL hoped to make this next transition a smooth one by identifying the problems the company would confront in the near future.
