BHARAT STAGE VI

on

- It is a kind of emission standard.






Government of  India has advanced the date when new standard for cleaner auto fuel kicks in, aiming to leapfrog to BS-VI norms by April'2020.

What are the norms:-
  • Bharat stage emission standards are used to regulate output of air pollutants from internal combustion engine.
  • These were introduced by the Union Government in 2000.
Do Our norms follow global precedents:-
  • The Bharat Stage norms are based on on European regulations.
  • Two and three - wheeler emission norms are lenient.
What is India running on right now:-
  • BS-VI auto fuels are being supplied in north India.
  • The rest of the Country runs on BS-III grade fuel.
  • From April'2016, Goa, Kerala,Karnataka,Telangana, Odisha,Daman and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Andaman & Nicobar will get BS-IV fuel.
  • The remaining  parts of Country will get BS-IV fuel from April'2017.
How much will switch cost oil Companies:-
  • According to Respected Oil Minister Shri Dharmendra Pradhan Jee, Oil PSUs will invest about Rs 28,750cr for switching over to BS- VI auto fuels.
Why skip one entire stage:-
  • According to Respected Oil Minister Shri Dharmendra Pradhan Jee, "We are not going for Bharat Stage V (or Euro -V) petrol and diseal as there is not much difference between BS-V & BS-VI (Euro - VI) fuel. We will bring BS-VI  fuel by 2020".
What changes will the switch bring to your car:-
  • Vehicles will have to be fitted with DPF (Diesel particulate filter), mounted inside the engine compartment.
  • In small car crazy India a DPF in the bonnet will involve major re-engineering.
  • Bonne's lenght may have to be increased, making cars longer than 4 meters and liable to come under higher excise duty bracket.
Will cars get costlier:-
  • Cars (Petrol 10,000 - 20,000 & Diesel 80,000 - 1.2 L)
  • Trucks (1.5 - 2 L)
Difference in norms:-
  • BS-VI norms not defined yet but will be equivalent to Euro - VI standards.
Why is India speeding up bid to curb vehicular pollution:-
  • India pledged at the recent global climate summit to improve the carbon emission intensity of its GDP by 33-35% by 2030 from 2005 levels. 
  • It has also pledged the creation of an additional carbon dioxide equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2030.
