International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT) released India’s first Type Approval Certificate (TAC) for Bharat Stage - VI (BS – VI) norms for the two-wheeler segment.

  • Bharat stage norms are the emission norms which the automotive manufacturers have to comply to sell their vehicles in India.
  • These norms are applicable to all two wheelers, three wheelers, four wheelers, and construction equipment vehicles.
  • To curb the growing menace of air pollution through the vehicle's emission, the Government of India has decided to leapfrog from the existing BS – IV norms to the BS- VI, thereby skipping the BS – V norms, and to implement the BS – VI norms with effect from 1st April 2020. 
  • From 1st April 2020, only those vehicles will be sold and registered in India which complies with these norms.
  • The norms are stringent and at par with global standards.
