BS 6 Norms

The Bharat Stage VI emission standards were implemented in India on April 1, 2020, transitioning directly from BS-IV to combat air pollution, particularly in the Delhi-NCR region. Indian Oil Corporation Limited began supplying BS-VI compliant fuel across its 28,000 petrol pumps, significantly reducing sulfur emissions and nitrogen oxides from vehicles. The standards, based on European regulations, aim to limit air pollutants from internal combustion engines, with stricter controls as the stage increases.

Bharat Stage VI emission standard

s  A year ago, on April 1, 2020, the Supreme Court of India rolled out the Bharat Stage VI emission
standards across the country, after India leapfrogged directly from BS-IV

According to the Society of Indian Car Manufacturers or SIAM, during this period, the automotive
industry suffered a loss of about Rs 2,300 crore per day due to the lockdown.

a gradual boom in the economy for the past few months, and higher-than-expected sales of
automobiles, particularly in the 2-wheeler segment. Retail sales of passenger vehicles grew 10.6% in
February from a year earlier

With an aim to combat the rising levels of air pollution in Delhi-NCR region, petrol pumps in the
capital from Sunday started supplying ultra-clean Bharat Stage VI grade fuel (both petrol and diesel).
This move makes New Delhi the first city in the country to switch from BS-IV grade fuels to BS-VI
(equivalent to fuel meeting Euro-VI emission norms). Other cities like Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram
and Faridabad along with 13 major cities, including Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and
Pune, will also switch over to cleaner BS-VI grade fuel from January 2020. However, BS- VI fuel was
rolled out in rest of the country in 1st April 2020.

 India‘s biggest oil firm, Indian Oil Corporation Limited has started supplying BS-VI fuel across India.
With this, Indian Oil Corporation Limited has become 1st company to begin supply of BS-VI fuel
across its 28,000 petrol pumps. The Government of India has set 01st April 2020 as the deadline to
start the supply of BS-VI emi

ssion compliant fuels. In Delhi, this deadline was imposed by April 2019 by the Government of India.
The Bharat Stage (BS) are standards instituted by the government to regulate the emission of air
pollutants from motor vehicles. With appropriate fuel and technology, they limit the release of air
pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter (PM) and
sulfur oxides from vehicles using internal combustion engines. As the stage goes up, the control of
emissions becomes stricter. The standards and the timeline for implementation are set by the
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate
Change. The standards are based on European Union regulations that were first introduced in 2000.
The major difference in standards between the existing BS-IV and the new BSVI auto fuel norms is
the presence of sulphur. The newly introduced fuel is estimated to reduce the amount of sulphur
released by 80 per cent, from 50 parts per million to 10 ppm. As per the analysts, the emission of
NOx (nitrogen oxides) from diesel cars is also expected to reduce by nearly 70 per cent and 25 per
cent from cars with petrol engines
