| ![]() Well if Maruti says it's on track to meet BS VI norms, what are the other OEMs complaining about? The group that has more than 50% market share is not complaining! In my opinion the others should cease to procrastinate/question the status quo and in the motto of Nike - just do it! |

| ![]() Is it suggested to wait till 2020 to get a new vehicle with BS6 norms, than going for a new one now with BS4 norms, if not in a hurry. Thanks. |

| ![]() BS-VI or Bharat Stage 6 seems to be more complicated than it looks. We are going to have Vehicles being BS-VI complied and fuel that would be BS-VI complied. I am no expert but just curious to know how is the transition going to take place. I assume that BS-VI engines are engines that emit less CO2 and other harmful gases/ pollutants and BS-VI fuel is the fuel that has less sulphur/Carbon content. So there are 4 permutations in this case:- 1. BS-VI complied Vehicles with BS-VI complied Fuel:- A match made in heaven ![]() 2. BS-VI complied Vehicles with BS-IV Fuel:- Will the engines that are designed for refined fuel work with less refined fuel? To avoid this scenario, we need BS-VI fuel launched throughout the country or the engines are developed such that they can take both BS-IV and VI fuels and run smoothly. 3. BS-I,II,III & IV complied Vehicles with BS-VI Fuel :- There have been speculations if the existing vehicles are going to work with fuel with less Sulphur (I read somewhere that it has lubricating properties). The question is that will these vehicles be compatible with the new fuel on their own or they will have to undergo some changes (addition of catalyst or something). If they don’t need any changes to work on BS-VI fuel, then the transition would be smooth. Otherwise I don’t see a solution for large scale changes being made to vehicles. 4. BS-I,II,III & IV complied with BS-IV Fuel:- The existing scenario and they seem to work fine as BS-IV fuel is available throughout India. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Instead of putting a sticker on the windshield (which can cause problems to users in case the windshield needs to be replaced), they could have used some sort of Automatic Number Plate Recognition System ('ANPR') for emissions compliance status check at a glance. Granted that we have a lot of fancy number plate styles in our country, but then plates which the ANPR system could not read might be considered grounds for challan anyway. My approach would be to put technology ("Artificial Intelligence") to use, rather than burdening citizens. And yes, the key reason why this discussion is even happening is because the Legislature and the Executive branches are not doing their job of updating rules and regulations at a pace required for a fast changing country that is India. As a result, these issues end up in court and the courts are not equipped to deliver rules as nuanced and as well thought through as the other two branches of Government can. ![]() Quote:

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I am a potential car buyer, and thinking of buying a diesel vehicle (Swift, Amaze) within next 6 months. I need your advice on how current gen of diesel vehicles handle the BSIV to BSVI jump. Should i wait till lets say a year when manufacturers move to BSVI assuming they will not wait till 2020 to see last moment sales, like April Last year ? I am thinking of keeping this new car for at least 7-8 years. |

| ![]() So, from when can we see BS VI vehicles plying on the roads. Not the premium brands like Mercedes Benz, etc., but from mass moving cars. At least 6 months before or only from Apr 2020. |

| ![]() With so many scenarios being played out, I am expecting the automakers to make some money in the name of BS-VI for some period of time ![]() Assuming I put of my decision to upgrade to a new car until 2020, would my existing BS-IV complaint vehicle's value depreciate significantly. |

| ![]() I Do not take the GoI at face value. When we introduced unleaded it was proclaimed that no modifications were required. The rest of the world wanted valves with hardened seats. So obviously our claims were false. How can I trust the Sarkari announcement. Any proof /evidence otherwise. |
