Bharat Stage VI or BS VI are the new emission standards to be introduced in India from 01 April 2020. These standards are based on the EURO 6 standards. In petrol vehicles, the BS VI norms aim to reduce pollutants by 25% by reducing NOx emissions from 80 mg/ km to 60 mg/ km. In case of diesel vehicles the BS VI norms aim to reduce pollution by reducing hydrocarbons by 43%, NOx by 68% and particulate matter by 82%.

All Indian companies have to adhere to these norms from the next financial year. Luxury car makers like Mercedes had already introduced cars with BS VI compliant engines.
