India’s love for diesel cars is well known. Many car manufacturers are selling more diesel cars than petrol. However pollution experts are crying hoarse that diesel cars emit more toxic gases than petrol cars. This is not true. Diesel engines have undergone a lot of development in the last six years.

Surprising but true. Diesel engines emit less carbon-dioxide than petrol cars. Carbon dioxide is responsible for greenhouse gases which causes global warming. The other advantage of diesel cars is that they emit 75 to 85 percent less toxic fumes than their predecessors in the 90’s. The engines deliver 10 per cent more energy efficiency per liter than petrol engines.

Indians have been unconsciously doing the right thing by purchasing diesel cars and I am one of them. I put in a lot of research into this, because of a debate I had with a friend and I have proved my point.

Diesel does give a better fuel economy. But, at what cost! According to a study, diesel is the main culprit in polluting the environment. Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) and Pune-based Automotive Research Association of India have shown exactly that. They say that even Euro II-compliant diesel cars spew 7.5 times more toxic emissions than the petrol cars. Diesel-emission is already very high in the cities, especially in Delhi.

It is a matter of grave concern that the monthly levels of tiny particulates are increasing rapidly. An increasing number of patients afflicted with asthma, lung diseases and bronchitis is a proof enough to warrant an immediate action. It is an open secret that a long-term exposure to this type of pollution can cause lung cancer. If not checked in time, the pollution can cripple our future.


In a time when more than half of Indian cities have reached critical levels of air pollution, the popularity of diesel cars is increasing leaps and bounds. They account for nearly 30 per cent of the new car sales. This share is tipped to increase to 50 per cent by 2010.
