I spent 4 weeks in Chennai this past year. There are huge old water trucks running around the clock because there aren't water lines. The buses are also really old and spew black smoke out constantly. There's zero enforcement of any kind, so anybody can do whatever they feel like to keep any vehicle on the road.
What a joke. Yes, they emitted more than they were legally entitled to.
For comparison's sake, look at India where just one of the 40 year old buses spewing black smoke is emitting thousands times more pollutants than a VW car, and then think that India has millions of these vehicles on the road. And then multiply that times all of the other 3rd world countries that don't give a hoot about vehicle emissions.

Looks like 60 million according to Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
