Effect of Bharat Stage 6 Norm on Indian Automobile Industry

The automobile industry in India is growing at a very fast pace. India has become one of the leading manufacturers of vehicles in the whole world and soon will become number one. There are many challenges in front of the Original equipment manufacturer (OEM’s). The biggest challenge now in front of the OEM’s is the emission norms that are set by the government of India called as the Bharat Stage Norms (BS VI) as well as for the Oil Manufacturing Companies. The Oil Manufacturing Companies will have to come up with new type of fuel which contains very less amount of Sulphur. For lowering the emission the OEM’s will have to make changes in engine Design, Engine control System and the Exhaust System. The are various methods and components that can be use to lower the emission such as Catalytic Convertor , Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), LNT (Lean NOx Trap) etc. By taking this step one can lower down the emission cause due to burning of fuel. Other than this in the near future the alternate fuels, Hybrid vehicles, Electric Vehicles will come into the picture.
