Since the age of industrialisation, massive carbon emission has raised pollution and global temperature. When we burn any fossil fuel, either solid or liquid, some gases are hazardous to our health and Environment. The purpose of writing the blog on BS4 vs BS6 Motorcycles is to clarify the pollutant which is being emitted from our Motorcycles.
The Government has been concerned about these hazardous emissions from motorbikes and cars, which is why they set regulations on emission standards with the name Bharat Stage(BS) which was introduced in the year 2000. The Second Bharat stage (BS2) rules were introduced in the year 2005 which was inspired by Euro 2 regulation in Europe. The latest regulations were implied by the Government of India in 2020 April which is known as Bharat Stage VI(BS6). While going with the blog further, you will find details about the emission standards and the difference between BS6 and BS4 along with the difference between BS4 and BS6 mileage.
The Oil Industry Safety Directorate is a technical directorate under the Government of India and falls under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas.
To understand the difference between BS4 & BS6 models, we need to know about the agency which works in developing standards and implementing them, along with time-to-time audits. Oil and gas installations to check their compliance from time to time. The difference between BS4 and BS6 models in the bikes industry brings a lot of challenges for manufacturers. Comparing BS4 and BS6 models will certainly highlight the need for emission regulation norms in today's time.
Reportedly, as per the previous fuel policy of the Government, the BS2 and BS3 regulations had to be replaced with BS4 norms with effect to the latest by 1st April 2017. The committee suggested introducing the BS5 norms latest by 1st April 2020 and the BS6 norms followed by it in the year 2024. However, the rising pollution in the country forced the Government to leapfrog BS5 norms, and they introduced BS6 norms, directly skipping a level. This way, BS6 norms were introduced on 1st April 2020.
When the news came out that the Government of India was rolling out BS6 norms on 1st April 2020, skipping BS5 regulations, there was chaos in the industry. It had been witnessed that it created a huge price drop, and discount offers were given on BS4-compatible engines. Many were not knowing the scenario, shall they wait or avail of the offers. It was a difficult time for everyone, from manufacturers to customers. Some big brands offered a good amount of discount, and few of them showed a slight move.
As discussed above, the provision of introducing BS4 in place of BS6 was to curb the rapidly rising pollution. If it has to be explained in layman's terms, the BS4 engines will require fuel containing a lesser amount of Sulphur than 10 ppm, so it will be more Environmentally friendly with the least hazardous emission. Now, the challenge customers have to face is this compatibility, and an environment-friendly model will impact the vehicle's performance. Furthermore, to maintain performance, manufacturers have to increase the engine's displacement, which will further increase the price range of the vehicle. Therefore, the BS6 models will be costlier than the BS4 model bikes/scooters.
As yet, the Government is wondering how to take out the middle path to curb the pollution caused by the automobile sector without any effect on the performance of bikes/scooters. This is the main reason why the Government of India is more focused towards Electric vehicles.
The Indian Government developed Bharat Stage Emission Standards to restrict the increased pollution around us, especially in metropolitan cities emitted by internal combustion.
There are several such norms around the world. For example, let's talk about Europe. The European standard focuses on reducing not only Sulphur but Nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, and sulphur oxides from diesel and petrol variants.
Parallel, the BS6 standard will help to reduce sulphur levels. Also, it includes the provisions to reduce Nitric oxide and particulate matter levels (PM Level). In addition, these standards will restrict the emission of Carbon Oxides to 1.0g/km.
The BS4-compatible engines of bikes and cars were a little cheap in the market and were prone to cause more pollution. As BS6 restricts the manufacturer in many ways, it has caused a challenge to the manufacturer to upgrade their product following the set norms. Until now, there is no information about BS7, but the rising pollution is another signal towards the same. Further talking about the mileage difference between BS4 and BS6. There is no such difference in the mileage but slight variations can be felt which will not impact your pocket much. In some cases BS4 may produce little more mileage than BS6 and vice versa.
It cannot discharge more than 80mg/km of Nitrogen oxide in the case of a Motorbike and 250mg/km for a diesel vehicle.
Sulphur content could be 50 ppm in BS6.
SCR(Selective Catalytic Reduction) and DPF(Diesel particulate Filter) were not mentioned to be measured in BS4; however, they are considered in BS6
Onboard Diagnostic(OD) was not required in BS4 but is necessary in BS6.
| Standard | Reference | Year | Region |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol Norms | N/A | 1991 | Nationwide |
| Diesel Norms | N/A | 1992 | Nationwide |
| India 2000 (BS1) | Euro 1 | 2000 | Nationwide |

Recently, the Government of India constituted an expert committee under the supervision of NITI aayog to develop auto fuel vision and policy 2025. The basic idea behind the formation of this committee is to prepare a road map for fuel consumption and maintain its non-hazardous emission.
Suppose existing policies of emission norms(Bharat stage) could be discussed briefly. In that case, the analysis will show how Government policies are continuously trying to make the fuel more pollution-free by decreasing the ppm(parts per million of permissible Sulphur).
The Fuel quality has been significantly improved from BS4 to BS6 regularisation by reducing the permissible Sulphur content to a maximum of 10 ppm(parts per million) in BS6-compliant fuel, which was 50 ppm(parts per million) in BS4. In addition, with the introduction of BS4, many advanced emission control technologies were introduced, including Diesel particulate filters and Selective catalyst reduction systems to reduce particulate matter and emission of Nitrogen oxide.
Several operational and functional procedures have been established under the Health safety and environment Management System. However, most of the time, HSSE projects and works are scrutinised by the top authority, which is particularly oriented towards the project needs, related guidelines and job competency requirements.
Based on the above data, we have keenly observed and evaluated that technology at the cost of the Environment will never be sustainable. The next norm may bring more environment-friendly regulations, and the bs4 vs bs6 bike price difference will increase in the same ratio. If we talk about the country's capital city, Delhi Government had to implement an odd-even formula for vehicles to control and reduce pollution. These days many governments are setting up air filtration towers at the centre of the cities so that citizens can breathe healthily, as the data above shows how dangerous sulphur oxide is. Differences between BS4 and BS6 bikes are mostly the bike's cost, the motorcycle's performance and the sulphur factor.
Further, the difference between BS4 and BS6 vehicles is not limited to bikes, but they are similarly applicable to cars. Different people have different opinions about which is better, BS4 or BS6 vehicles. As aware citizens of the country, we must be informed that there is a limit to fuels and petroleum in the world. We must create a manageable future for our future generation. We should obey the norms and minimise the age of pollution from our end. The Earth was clean and green when human life started, and now, especially after industrialisation, we humans have become the major cause of global warming and rising pollution.

Bajaj has launched the Freedom 125 in India at a starting price of Rs 95,000. It is the world's first CNG bike, and many customers might worry about the safety of having a CNG tank on a bike. Every year, many CNG cars fail, and bikes are more exposed than cars. Bajaj assures that the bike has been thoroughly tested for safety. The manufacturer says the bike has passed 11 different crash and impact tests at their test facility.How Bajaj Tested the New Freedom 125 CNG Bike Bajaj tested the bike from different angles. In the Front Collision Test, the Freedom 125 CNG bike crashed into a 1.5-ton moving barrier at a speed of 60kmph. Moreover, the company also did a Truck Runover Test, where a 10-ton truck was driven over the CNG bike. This test simulates a situation where the rider falls off and the bike gets run over by a truck. In both the Front Collision Test and the Truck Runover Test, the bike handled the impacts well. The CNG tank stayed in place, kept its shape, and did not leak.Bajaj also performed nine other tests: a Frontal Pendulum Test, a Rear Impact Test, a Left Side Impact Test, a Right Side Impact Test, a Vertical Drop Test, a 50kg Filling Unit Strength Test, two types of CNG Valve Impact Tests (to see if the valve breaks on impact), and a 20G Pull Out Test. Impact tests involved hitting the bike with a moving barrier, while drop tests involved dropping the bike from a height.What is Bajaj Providing in Freedom 125 CNG Bike?Bajaj designed the trellis frame and subframe to keep the CNG cylinder safe. These frames act like cages to protect the cylinder from damage in a crash. The engine is also placed away from the CNG cylinder, so the heat from the engine doesn’t affect the CNG tank. This is important because the CNG tank holds pressurized gas, which can expand when it gets hot.When filling the CNG tank, you need to get off the bike and stand at least 5 feet away. This safety measure at CNG fuel stations helps prevent accidents in case the CNG cylinder explodes.Before you go, don’t forget to check out the June 2024 FADA two-wheeler sales report.

...Read full newsThe 2025 Honda CL500 scrambler was unveiled at EICMA 2024, marking the brand's comeback into the scrambler segment. Powered by a 471cc parallel twin, the CL500 combines retro-inspired styling with modern performance. It embodies long-travel suspension and knobby tyres and maintains a comfortable riding position suitable for everyday use. This scrambler boasts a classic design enhanced with modern features such as its digital display and advanced safety options. As such, the CL500 should appeal to riders who are looking for versatility and style. Quick Highlights:New colour options: Pearl Dusk Yellow, Brown.Improved ergonomics with reduced 790mm seat height.Updated engine with Euro 5+ compliance.Enhanced acceleration with a new 41-teeth sprocket.Modern features: LED lighting, LCD dash, ESS.Honda unveiled the 2025 CL500 scrambler at EICMA 2024, featuring updated aesthetics and improved ergonomics for enhanced comfort. Colour Updates, Ergonomic Enhancements, and Mechanical TweaksThe new additions for 2025 in terms of colour also include Pearl Dusk Yellow and Matt Fresco Brown, which complement the current range. More importantly, the bike now comes with a bigger 12-litre fuel tank, which, with a newly redesigned upswept exhaust of dual ports, gives the bike a little panache. The bike also has ergonomic features—the seat height is reduced to 790mm, thus providing better riding postures, thanks to footpegs that have been moved forward. Mechanically, the CL500 stays the same as its 471cc parallel-twin engine. Still, updated fuel mapping and an improved intake system are part of the updates, ensuring it conforms to Euro 5+ emissions standards. The rest of the engine is the same, producing 45.9bhp at 8,500rpm and 43.4Nm of peak torque at 6,250rpm. Honda has, though, altered the rear sprocket from 40 to 41 teeth, which helps a little to provide acceleration for a slightly more responsive ride. The CL500 comes with full LED lighting, a new LCD dash for better readability, and an Emergency Stop Signal. The motorcycle is scheduled to hit the international markets very soon; it remains to be seen whether it will find a market opening here in India.Before you leave, have a look at the Vespa Unveils the 2025 GTS 310.Follow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fb Instagram- https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_insta Twitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter
