for vehicles in India

1. The Origin

• The BS emission standards were initially inspired
  by European emission regulations/norms, commonly
  known as Euro 2, Euro 3, etc. The laws stated
  that all vehicles manufactured after the
  introduction of each standard had to be compliant
  with the standards (two and four-wheelers). The
  law extended to other stages in the
  vehicle-buying process as well. For instance,
  vehicle registering authorities refrained from
  registering a vehicle that did not comply with
  the existing standards.

2. The Indian Version

• The standards were introduced in India in 2000 as
  the Bharat Stage I (BSI) norms. This was followed
  by the BS-II, BS-III, and so on. However, it was
  not until the BS-IV was introduced in 2017 that
  the emission standards were brought on par with
  the global emission standards. With this, the
  BS-IV allowed for 50 parts per million sulphur
  content.

3. The Skipped Standard

• With BS-IV in circulation, chronologically
  speaking, the next standard to be adopted should
  have been the BS-V. However, the Indian
  Government decided to skip this standard, and in
  its place, introduce BS-VI instead, effective
  from 1st April 2020. This measure was taken to
  create a more stringent and globally compliant
  emission standard owing to the increasing
  vehicular pollution. The change was a welcome one
  by many national and international authorities.

4. The New Standard

• BS-VI allows only 10 parts per million of sulphur
  content and is hence, the most environment-friendl
  y standard yet. The new norm will also lead to
  other changes such as- nitrogen oxides will be
  brought down by 25 in petrol engines and 75 in
  diesel engines. Another landmark change will be
  the inclusion of OnBoard Diagnostics (OBD) and
  Real Driving Emission (RDE) on all vehicles to
  track the real-time emissions.
• New Delhi is the first city to be selling BS-VI
  compliant fuel at major fuel-pumps.

5. The Implication

• The primary impact of the new BS-VI norms will
  mostly fall on manufacturers as they will need to
  develop and launch vehicle models that are
  compliant with these standards. The general
  public will continue to get BS-IV compliant fuel
  for a few years to come. However, those who
  choose to switch sooner will be taking a big step
  towards a more sustainable environment for
  everyone.While this change in norms could drive
  up costs of vehicles, in the long run, it could
  prove to be more cost-friendly when you consider
  the larger picture. With this growing awareness
  in mind, MG Motor has introduced the new BS-VI
  compliant MG Hector to the Indian market. With
  over 25 safety features, dual-clutch automatic
  transmission, personalised accessories and a 48V
  battery that improves fuel economy by 12, the MG
