1. 5 Things you did not know about the BSES norms
for vehicles in India

2. Things About BSES norms for vehicles
1. The Origin
2. The Indian Version
3. The Skipped Standard
4. The New Standard
5. The Implication

3. 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

4. MG Motor India
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.
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.

5. The New Standard
BS-VI allows only 10 parts per million of sulphur
content and is hence, the most environment-
friendly 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.
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
