Though the Auto Fuel Policy 2025 mandated BS V by 2021 and BS VI standards by 2024, the Union government decided to skip BS V and directly go for BS VI by April 2020 considering the alarming rise in levels of pollution. BS VI fuels come with extremely low levels of sulphur content at 10 ppm for both petrol and diesel. Bharat State VI standards prescribe vehicular emission norms that are “fuel neutral” wherein the gap between emission from diesel and petrol vehicles considerably narrows.
