Honda two-wheelers India will launch the new Actia 125 with a BS-VI compliant engine in India on Wednesday. Major automakers are racing to introduce their own BS-VI iterations after the Supreme Court of India recently ruled that no Bharat Stage IV vehicle shall be sold across the country with effect from April 1, 2020. Honda's launch comes a day after Hero MotoCorp announced that it became the first manufacturer in India to get BC-VI certification from the International Centre for Automotive Technology.
A three-judge bench said that the need of the hour was to move to a cleaner fuel. In 2016, the Centre announced that the country would skip the BS-V norms altogether and adopt BS-VI norms by 2020. The major difference between the existing BS-IV and forthcoming BS-VI norms is the presence of sulphur in the fuel. While the BS-IV fuels contain 50 parts per million (ppm) sulphur, the BS-VI grade fuel only has 10 ppm sulphur content.
