New Delhi: Indian Oil has started supplying BS6 fuel ahead of time. The country’s largest fuel company has become the first company to launch it. The entire country will adopt BS6 fuel which is considered to be the cleanest fuel from April 1, but IOC has started supplying this fuel at 28000 petrol pumps two weeks ago. BS6 standard petrol diesel has a very small amount of sulfur, so it is considered pure.
Indian Oil chairman Sanjeev Singh said, “We have started supplying BS-6 grade fuel across the country. Our 28 thousand petrol pumps have been dispensing it for more than a week. Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL) are also supplying BS6 fuel and within a week the entire country will switch to the cleanest fuel.
The government set an April 1 deadline for fuel based on Euro-6 emission norms. With the introduction of IOC supply, India has joined select countries where low sulfur clean fuels are used.
