BS-VI fuel different from BS-IV fuel?
The main difference between BS-IV and BS-VI (which is comparable to Euro 6) is in the amount of sulphur in the fuel.
The lower the sulphur, the cleaner the fuel, so BS-VI fuel is essentially low-sulphur diesel and petrol.
BS-VI fuel is estimated to bring around an 80% reduction in sulphur content — from 50 parts per million (ppm) to 10 ppm.
Also NOx emissions from diesel cars are expected to come down by nearly 70% and, from cars with petrol engines, by 25%.
