After the orders from the Government of India regarding the emission norms, all the carmakers have started manufacturing the BS6 compliant. Hence, the production of the BS4 compliant vehicle comes to an end.

Bharat Stage Emission Standards (BSES) was first introduced in India in 2001. The emission norms are rules and regulations by the Government of India to keep a check on the level of air pollutants. The emission standard guidelines are created keeping in mind all the necessary parameters by the Ministry of Environment as well as the Ministry of Forest and Climate Change.
