The entire National Capital Region is now being supplied the ultra-clean Bharat Stage-VI petrol and diesel by public sector fuel retailers Indian Oil Corp Ltd, Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd, and Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd, according to a release by Indian Oil on behalf of the three companies.
While the country is all set to switch the current BS-IV grade fuel to BS-VI, with emission standards equivalent to Euro-VI fuel, from April 1, 2020, state-owned oil firms already began supplying the ultra-clean fuel in Delhi in April last year, due to persistent pollution problem.
Already, BS-VI was supplied to all districts in the NCR and even some of the neighbouring districts in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, except seven districts of Haryana. However, from today even these seven districts will be supplied with petrol and diesel meeting the new emission norms.
