Latest Issue
The move from BS-IV to BS-VI will primarily require fuel to have significantly lower sulphur content. Presently, the sulphur content in BS-IV
petrol and diesel is 50 parts per million (ppm). BS VI-grade fuels, however, are supposed to have a sulphur content of 10 ppm.
While it is unlikely that BS-IV fuel will be altogether done away with, the major question that arises is whether there is any
advantage of running your existing BS-III or BS-IV compliant car on BS-VI fuel when it becomes available.
The answer is largely yes.
In simple terms, the lower the sulphur content in the fuel, the cleaner it burns. Petrol with lower sulphur emits less NOx, CO and HC,
while the advantage of low sulphur diesel is significantly lower particulate matter (PM) emissions.
Estimates suggest that a BS-IV compliant
car running on BS-VI diesel could emit 50 percent less PM.
Fuel suppliers are investing thousands of crores to upgrade their refineries.
