With the country’s automotive sector moving towards a cleaner era beginning next year, the fuel and lubricant industry is following suit. Castrol India has announced its BS-VI readiness with a range of lubricants across categories that offer industry-first features that take the country one step closer to a low-carbon future. In light of the upcoming BS-VI emission standards in 2020, Castrol has leveraged the company’s access to global R&D and technology, including its experience from the Euro 6 standards implemented in Europe a few years ago.
