As per the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways,\nevery new car sold in the country must have a BS 6 engine&nbsp;from April 1,\n2020.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the enforcement of the law, many car owners with lower emission\ncomplying vehicles have been wondering if they too need to upgrade to\nBS6-compliant cars. The answer is NO! They do not need to worry about the\nupgradation as the rule applies only to new cars. However, cars with lower\nemission standards might be banned at a later stage just like BS1 (India 2000)\nand BS2 cars in the past.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is BS6 or BSVI?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the year 2000, the Indian government felt the need to have its own\nemission norms to curb the growing automobile pollution. It introduced the\nBharat Stage Emission Standard (BSES), commonly known as Bharat Stage, in the\nsame year. Its regulations follow the European emission standards. Till now,\nfive different emission standards have been introduced &#8211; India 2000, BS2, BS3,\nBS4 and the latest BS6. The BS5 regulation was skipped as the country was\nlagging way behind its European counterparts, and the skip was\nimperative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>\n  Emission Standard\n  <\/td><td>\n  Year of Introduction\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  BS 1 (India 2000)\n  <\/td><td>\n  2000\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  BS 2\n  <\/td><td>\n  2005\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  BS 3\n  <\/td><td>\n  2010\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  BS 4\n  <\/td><td>\n  2017\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  BS 6\n  <\/td><td>\n  2020\n  <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The BS6 engine cars follow a more stringent emission regulation, which\nlimits the release of Nitrous Oxide (NO) and Particulate Matter (PM) in the\nair. It brings down the release to almost 80 per cent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What about used cars?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"400\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/is-it-necessary-to-upgrade-to-bs6-engine-this-2020-2.jpg\" alt=\"Used Cars - BS4 to BS6 Engine\n\" class=\"wp-image-10959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tata-blog.osian.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/is-it-necessary-to-upgrade-to-bs6-engine-this-2020-2.jpg 770w, https:\/\/tata-blog.osian.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/is-it-necessary-to-upgrade-to-bs6-engine-this-2020-2-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tata-blog.osian.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/is-it-necessary-to-upgrade-to-bs6-engine-this-2020-2-768x399.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the used car market, you get a lot of cars with engines complying\nwith BS1 to BS4 emission norms. Recently, the BS badge has also gained\npopularity in the pre-owned vehicle space as cars with higher emission badge\nare valued higher compared to the lower ones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the future too, the BS6 cars will be better valued than a\nBS4-complying one. Even the financial institutions offering <a href=\"https:\/\/tata-blog.osian.dev\/vehicle-loan\/used-car-loan.html\">used car loan<\/a> are taking note of the upgrade and sanctioning high-value loans for\ncars following higher BS standard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Additional Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/tata-blog.osian.dev\/blog\/loan-for-vehicle\/what-are-the-differences-between-bs6-bs4-engine\/\">BS4 Vs BS6: Know the Differences between BS6 &amp; BS4 Engine<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Should you buy a pre-owned BS6 car?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find a BS6 pre-owned car to buy (which means it should not be\nolder than four months), you should do so even if it means getting a second\nhand car loan. Why? The top reason is the condition of the car, which would be\nalmost new; second, it complies with the latest norms. So, when you decide to\nsell a BS6-compliant car, you\u2019ll get a better resale value than a BS4 or older\nmodels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Environment care<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By opting for BS6 engine cars, you choose to contribute to a cleaner\nenvironment. The latest emission norms ensure the curbing of pollutants to\nsignificantly low levels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a nutshell, while it is not compulsory to upgrade to a BS6 engine\nbut, voluntarily you should, with the environment\u2019s conservation on your mind.\nMoreover, you also get a better resale value for your vehicle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Additional Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/tata-blog.osian.dev\/blog\/loan-for-vehicle\/impact-of-bs6-engine-on-different-types-of-cars-in-india\/\">Impact of BS6 Engine on Different Types of Cars in India<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tata Capital encourages you to choose a BS6 car, whether new or used, and offers support with attractive interest rates.
