Bharat Stage 6 Fuel: India to run on BS 6 fuel from April 2020

Supreme Court banned the sale and registration of BS-4 vehicles from April 2020 and on October 24, 2018

While issuing the directive on October 24, 2018, the Supreme Court said that in the country, vehicles of Bharat Stage-4 (BS-4) category will not be sold from April 1, 2020, nor will they be registered.

Bharat Stage Emission Standards are those standards which the government has made for motor vehicles to regulate pollutants in the environment. Bharat Stage-6 (or BS-6) emission rules will be effective from April 1, 2020.

Justice Madan B. The Bench of 3 judges, headed by Lokur, made it clear that from the said date the sale of compatible vehicles of BS-6 in the entire country could be sold. The bench said that it is time to move towards more clean fuel.

BS-4 rules are applicable in the country from April 2017. In 2016, the Center had announced that the adoption of BS-5 rules in the country would be implemented by 2020 without the BS-6 rules.

The amount of air pollution that is due to motor vehicles is explained by this emission standard. Earlier in India, India has been running the Stage (BS) -2, BS-3 and BS-4 vehicles, but now BS-6 will be adopted without adopting the BS-5 system.

The digits with the BS system mean its potential. The larger the number, the less pollution occurs. It is ensured that each standard performs better than the previous standard.
