  2. The transition from BS VI to BS VII forms part of a wider regulatory architecture that also encompasses CAFE fuel-efficiency standards, E20 fuel compatibility requirements, and onboard diagnostics norms.
  3. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems, particulate filters, and urea-dosing are among the exhaust-treatment technologies typically required to meet tighter nitrogen-oxide emission limits for diesel vehicles.
