Indian Oil Becomes First Company In India To Start Selling BS-VI Compliant Fuel Across All Its 28,000 Outlets

Country’s biggest oil firm, the state-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has become the first oil supplier in the country to begin the supply of the world's cleanest petrol and diesel called BS-VI fuel, reports The Economic Times.

The IOC‌ has begun the dispensation of BS-VI petrol and diesel across all its 28,000 petrol pumps across the length and breadth of India. This comes a week ahead of the 1 April deadline by which all fuel stations in the country will be bound to sell only BS-VI compliant fuel.

It should also be noted that India is the first nation among all large economies to have directly transitioned from the much-polluting BS-IV fuels to environment-friendly BS-VI fuels in merely three years.
