He further said,"Early introduction of the BS 6 compliant engine in our popular models represents our commitment to the government's vision for clean and green environment."

MSIL introduced its first BS 6 compliant petrol car in April 2019, a full year in advance from the mandatory deadline. The company's range of BS 6 compliant petrol models includes Alto, Eeco, S-Presso, Celerio, WagonR, Swift, Baleno, Dzire, Ertiga and XL6.

"These contribute nearly 75 per cent of the company's petrol volumes," MSIL said.

Upgrading from the current BS 4, from April 1, 2020 BS 6 will be mandatory and automakers will be able to sell only those vehicles complying with the stricter emission norms in India.
