How will BS-6 fuel impact your pocket? Here’s what oil companies have to say

As India leapfrogs to using Bharat Stage-6 (BS-VI) emission norms from April 1, 2020, consumers will have to shell out more to get cleaner fuel in their vehicles. Petrol and diesel prices may go up by 50 paise to Re 1 per litre beginning April, say oil companies.

Petrol currently costs Rs 73.36 per litre in Delhi and diesel is priced at Rs 66.36 a litre.

Sanjiv Singh, chairman of Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), the country’s largest oil firm, said the exact numbers are being worked out but the increase would not be significant to warrant a staggered hike.
