So there is no fraud in it, simple business. BS III fuel in cities where it is required and BS II where it is not.
I doubt you can buy brand new BS-II cars as cars are sold with the same state of tune all over India.
So when you buy SX4 it does not matter whether you buy it in Rishikesh or New Delhi, you will get same vehicle.
Only different is that you can buy BS-II old stock, like Ford Ikon Diesel 1.8D from the dealer in small cities.

In the late nineties when first time Bharat norms came, a lot of stock of esteem, M800 etc., which were carburetted was lying with Delhi dealers.
But they could not sell there, and hence the price of carb esteem dropped to new lows in Pb because the stock was offloaded here, with huge discounts.
