   BS6 vs BS6 phase 2 RDE norms:      All you need to know about it

   BS6 vs BS6 phase 2 RDE norms

BS6 phase 2 real driving emissions (RDE) norms are coming into effect in India from April 1, 2023. But, with all the hype around the transition to BS6 phase 2 norms, how’s it different from the current BS6 phase 1 standards? That’s what we have explained here.

The major difference between BS6 phase 1 vs BS6 phase 2 norms is that while in the first stage, the vehicles needed to be tested only in the labs, the BS6 phase 2 compliant models will have to meet the emission norms in real-world conditions apart from being tested in laboratories.

During the transition from BS4 to BS6 emission norms in April 2020, the automotive industry had to bear the brunt of technological advancements and the vehicles became significantly expensive. In fact, many small diesel cars were discontinued due to high upgradation costs and low demand.

However, this time around, the impact is not expected to be so noteworthy. While the BS6 phase 2 compliant two-wheelers will demand a premium of Rs 2,000 to Rs 10,000, the cars will get expensive by Rs 10,000 to Rs 50,000, depending on the make and model.
