The Government of India has set a final date for the introduction of BS-Vl norms which is 1st April 2020, and post this date, none of the automobile companies will be eligible to sell or register their vehicles with BS-lV compliant engines. However, customers who buy BS-IV cars now or before April 2020, will be able to use their cars till the end of the registration period. Also, those apprehensive about the fuel, BS-IV cars will run perfectly fine on BS-VI fuel which will be dispensed at all pumps after or even before April 2020.
