Explanation:

The first statement is incorrect because India did implement BS-VI emission norms directly from BS-IV, skipping BS-V. This was a significant move to curb pollution by adopting stricter emission standards. The decision to leapfrog to BS-VI was taken to address the pressing issue of air quality and environmental pollution.

The second statement is also incorrect. India had already implemented BS-IV emission norms nationwide and was in the process of transitioning to BS-VI norms. The implementation of BS-IV norms across the country was completed by April 1, 2017. Following this, the shift to BS-VI norms began, and BS-VI norms were implemented nationwide from April 1, 2020.

Therefore, neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct.
