INTRODUCTIONS
The central government has mandated that vehicle makers must manufacture, sell and register
only BS-VI (BS6) vehicles from April 1, 2020. The first emission norms were introduced in
India in 1991 for petrol and in 1992 for diesel vehicles.

BS Norms
The governing body, Bharat Stage Emission Standards (BSES), regulates the output of
pollutants from vehicles plying in the country. The Central Pollution Control Board which falls
under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change sets the standards to regulate
emissions from vehicles in India. The first emission standard or norm, introduced in the year
2000, was known as ‘India 2000’ and later, BS2 and BS3 were introduced in 2005 and 2010,
respectively. While the first three emission norms were introduced at regular intervals, BS4 was
introduced in 2017, after a gap of seven years. The BS6 emission standard is the sixth iteration
of the emission norm and comparatively, it’s a substantial leap in terms of reducing pollution
compared to the outgoing BS4. This is also because the BS5 (BSV) has been skipped in an
effort to move to better emission norms.

BS4 Engine
Before we understand about BS6 emission or BS6 compliant engine, let’s understand the
current BS4 (BSIV) emission norms, engine, performance, and its significance. The BSES,
which is the governing organization for emissions from all types of vehicles in the country,
introduced the first emission norms with the name ‘India 2000’ in the year 2000. BS2 and BS3
were introduced in 2005 and 2010, while BS4 norms came into effect in 2017 with stricter
emission standards or norms. Among the regulations set by the governing body, emission-
related changes included tailpipe emissions, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), ignition control,
etc. The most visible change was the AHO (Automatic Headlamp On), this is one of the norms
under the BS4 which catered to the safety aspect of the new emission standards.
What is the difference between BS6 and BS4?
The BS6 emission norms are stricter than the BS4 criteria. A vital difference is that a BS6
engine requires fuel containing five times lower sulphur traces than a BS4 engine. Also,
Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) levels under BS6 norms have been lowered by 70% for diesel and 25%
for petrol engines. BS6 compliant petrol cars are designed to emit no more than 60mg/km of
NOx emissions, and the particulate matter (PM) limit is at 4.5mg/km. Furthermore, the
emission norms for diesel engines are more stringent; NOx emission is to be reduced from
250mg/km to 80mg/km. Additionally, the PM emission is to go down from 25mg/km to
4.5mg/km, and the HC and NOx emissions must be brought down from 300mg/km to
170mg/km. Under the BS6 norms, Onboard Diagnostics (OBD) will become mandatory for all
vehicles. Another significant difference between BS4 and BS6 is the introduction of Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) in diesel engines. Lastly,
vehicles will also have Real Driving Emissions (RDE) to measure the emission levels in real-
world conditions.

Advantages of BS6 engine
In the Indian urban areas, vehicle pollution isone of the major contributors to the worsening of
air quality. Studies have shown that the release of SO2, CO2, NOx, and other particulate
matters
harms the health of Indians. The BS6 vehicles are over 50% less polluting than the BS4
vehicles.
With the BS-6 standards, the NOx emission rate can come down by approximately 25% in the
case of petrol engines and 70% in the case of diesel engines.
The cancer-causing particulate matter emissions from the diesel engines will also come down
by 80%.

CONCLUSION
The Indian Government implement the BS6 norms to control Air pollution and Global
warming. The BS6 vehicles are reduce the air pollution.But some demerits in BS6 engines
