Cummins India, a power solutions technology provider, has received various CPCB IV+ compliance certifications from the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), on 12 June 2023.  The certification is for various ranges of genset products.

The CPCB IV+ emission standards are one of the most comprehensive and stringent emission norms for power generation engines that the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) will implement from July 1, 2023.

The new CPCB IV+ emission standards will also establish a single standard for both prime and standby usage of gensets covering all fuel types for the engine power output of up to 800 kWh.

Compared to the current CPCB II standards, the measures will result in an approximately 90% reduction in particulate matter (PM) and harmful oxides of nitrogen (NOx) concentrations, the press release noted.
