Anyways, I'm sharing what I've gathered so far on this topic from an older post of mine - https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/india...ml#post4502165 (The 2018 next-gen Maruti Ertiga, now launched at Rs 7.44 lakhs) Quote:

| ![]() BS 6 engines will also start beeping every 30 seconds once you cross 120KMPH . This is what I heard when I visited Anant cars for a test drive of Mahindra Alturas. Detailed test drive is slated for next week . Any one who owns or have driven alturas g4 can throw more light ( alturas is BS 6 ready engine ) |

| ![]() Hi everyone. I'm planning to purchase a new petrol vehicle around August this year. With all the buzz around BS6 and new vehicle registration, I have a specific doubt irking my mind. If I get transferred to a different state (say from Telangana to Karnataka), will I be able to get my registration changed? Since the news is that no BS4 vehicle will be registered post April 2020, is that rule applicable in case of change of state too? |

| ![]() While it is a given that come BS 6 norms, diesel cars are going to get kitted out with additional emission control equipments and will get costlier, I'm seeing contrasting opinions on the extent of the cost hikes. 1st school of thought - No matter the engine size, every diesel car is going to get costlier by 2 lakhs. This is the death knell of diesel cars for the urban customer. 2nd school of thought - Only bigger engined diesel cars (2.5 Litres or bigger) will need selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to cut down on Nox emissions. Smaller engines won't need SCR and hence will only cost 50k more than they do now. The bigger engines are the ones that will cost 2 lakhs more. I'm curious to know the outcome of this particular question. We are on the precipice of a potentially huge change in the Indian automobile market. If it were the case that every diesel car will cost a lot more than they do now, customer preferences and production numbers are going to radically change. |

| ![]() With the Advent of BS VI norms from April 1, 2020, many of the popular cars are destined to move ahead the road without the diesels due to substantial increase in sticker price. It sounds like a death knell for small cars diesel variants like Swift, Baleno, Punto and many others. Many sedans are likely to go petrol solo too, at least for the initial leg. The national diesel engine is also likely to be put to rest in peace. In the intervening period of more than one year, there will be many car purchases. I am also the one planning my next car soon as my current ride is close to 8 years old. Based in Punjab where petrol and Diesel price difference is quite hefty, it is essentially a norm to go for diesel power train if you are planning for C segment or higher. Though my running is mostly in Chandigarh and petrol Diesel price difference is Starkly lower as compared to Punjab here. But my running is on moderate to higher side, so I am inclined for the diesel despite the diesel variants premiums of about 1.5 lakh for cars like Creta and Verna which I am planning. I have searched across but could not find any suitable advice whether it would be a good decision or bad decision to go for BS IV diesel or simply diesel when such a big change in the country's automotive scene is impending. It might be a good decision as the demand for used diesel cars may go up few years down the line and diesels running costs will continue to be sub par with petrol till then or may be a bad one as well due to unfavorable conditions or laws ahead for diesels and market may lose the interest in diesels entirely. Please share your valuable thoughts. Last edited by gupta_chd : 27th January 2019 at 16:21. |

| ![]() My suggestion in the form of question is...if we buy a BS IV diesel car now, will we be able to sell it 5 years down the line? I don't think so. The demand for used BS IV diesel cars may never go up as it's life Will be limited and ultimately has to be scrapped at least considering small cars. |

| ![]() This is a question, which is haunting my mind also. I am sitting on the fence, as very few cars are there which are BS6 complaint at the moment. If one does buy, a BS4 vehicle, what are the prospects 2 years down the lane, as it is my car is BS4 complaint now, so why buy an old wine in a new bottle. The other day I also saw an article in the paper wherein the Green Tribunal is stating that by 2020 they want to ban all diesel and Petrol vehicles in Kerala and only Electric Cars will be allowed, of course I don’t know if its wishful thinking. |

| ![]() @NFS2024; sparky@home; we have four BS-IV Honda cars (Civic, Brio, City, Amaze), we are not replacing them till BS-VI kicks in. This is one of the misfortunes of having skipped BS-V on the way. Once BS-VI kicks in next year we will have to replace three of them (I intend to cut down on one of my cars). At least one AT in the lot, right now both Civic & Brio are AT. So this is how I plan to tackle the issue. Of course BS-VI is the death knell of the Diesel. I guess everything including the kitchen sink will be thrown in. Even many petrol engines will be replaced or extensively changed. So spares and service will become a problem.

| ![]() The marked silence of manufacturers are understandable, since any 'info leak' regarding this will decimate sale of BS4 vehicles for the rest of the year. IMHO it would make sense to wait till 2020 april when there would be BS6 fuel+vehicles; why would anyone want to buy a car which has an engine that's gonna get outdated within a year? And since the Supreme Court is decided on this, any change of government is not gonna effect anything. |

| ![]() I would treat the below as more of a speculation based on the fact that the Fiat Engine would retire which is a fact. But it maybe possible for Maruti to provide the Suzuki Diesel Engine for these cars by then. No Diesel Version For Maruti Suzuki Swift, Baleno & Dzire Likely From 2020 (27.Jan.19) Read more at: URL But yes, there is no easy answer or guidance on how the scenario would be post implementation of BS VI and I think it is best to hold off investments in Diesel cars by an year for those not in a hurry.
