Hyderabad (Telangana): The Indian Oil will start selling Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) fuels in Telangana from April 1 this year and adopt world-class emission norms, said R Sravan Rao, the company's executive director and state head on Wednesday.
"From April 1, 2020, India is moving completely over from BS-IV to BS-VI, which basically pertains to change in the emission norms. With the launch of BS-VI, we would be adopting world-class fuel norms," Rao told reporters here.
The development comes in line with the implementation of BS-VI emission norms from April 1 after Environment and Forest minister Prakash Javadekar earlier said that country will shift to Bharat Stage Six (BS VI) vehicular emission norms from BS IV by April 2020.
"While we are in absolute readiness to launch BS-VI statewide in all Indian Oil retail outlets of Telangana before the deadline, I would even say confidently that most of the fuel that you are buying presently in Telangana from our retail outlets already conforms to BS-VI emission standards,"Rao said.
