24SEP2019 - NEWS - India to enforce IMO 2020 rule on both domestic, international shipping: ministry officials

India's domestic shipping sector will comply with IMO2020, irrespective if the run is foreign going or coastal. There has been market speculation that India's domestic shipping sector wouldn't comply with the new low sulfur marine fuel regime.

India's move comes on the heels of an announcement by Indonesia in August that it will fulfill its MARPOL Annex VI obligations to enforce the 0.50% sulfur cap regulations, dismissing earlier government plans, suggesting only a partial implementation of the rule.
