Before its implementation, several automakers have begun introducing upgraded models of their cars with BS6 Phase 2-compliant engines in the market. The greenhouse gases emitted by cars, two-wheelers, and other bulky vehicles adversely affect our blue planet and its inhabitants. Hence, the central government has ordered to establish the of stricter BS6 Phase 2 rules to lessen this impact. The upcoming rules will help to reduce the dangerous greenhouse gases produced by these vehicles. Renault India, Tata Motors, and Kia have their names on the list of automakers, which have modified their models in accordance with the upcoming emission norms.
