Car makers in India are quickly making a paradigm shift in their technologies and models in order to ensure compliance with the <keyword id="3165424" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="BS-VI-norms">BS VI norms</keyword>. Bharat Stage Emission norms call for widespread measures to implemented by the vehicle makers so that the pollution levels are minimized as per the new standards and also the cars are fitted with pollutant filtering systems and onboard diagnostics (OBD) mechanisms to ensure that while operating in real time on the roads, the vehicles do not exceed the pollutant emission levels noted during laboratory testing. Some car manufacturers have stopped making diesel cars and have moved to make petrol fueled ones. Some have started contemplating on advanced technologies to make diesel cars that are compliant with the BS VI norms. While the market must stop selling the outdated models before the deadline of April 1, 2020, here are some reasons why petrol cars are better for you when you will have to comply with the BS VI norms. <ul><li>Diesel cars will become costlier in the forthcoming years as the car makers have to comply with the strict emission norms of the BS VI. Already some major automobile manufacturing companies have thought of scrapping the future of diesel vehicles from their portfolios. For instance, <keyword id="44883" type="DOMAIN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Maruti-Suzuki">Maruti Suzuki</keyword> has announced it will phase out all the diesel models before April 1, 2020. </li><li>Petrol cars will become more common than the diesel powered ones and many diesel versions will become petrol ones. </li><li>Especially small diesel cars might become altogether non-existent after the implementation of BS VI norms since the bonnet sizes of these cars will not be able to accommodate the new class of diesel engines.</li><li>Lesser number of vehicle buyers are already seen preferring the diesel powered cars owing to the newer understanding developing among them. Statistics show one in five buyers are only keen to go for diesel cars. </li><li>The difference in margin between petrol and diesel prices are sharp eroding. The difference of Rs.34 a liter in 2012 has now shrunk to just Rs.3 to 5. With diesel turning a costlier fuel with lesser efficiency, consumers will prefer petrol cars more than the diesel ones. </li><li>Sometime back the Supreme Court banned the resitration of diesel vehicles that are having engines of 2,000cc and above. This has sentimentally affected the diesel car buyers. </li><li>Petrol cars can be easily converted into CNG powered vehicles. </li><li>BS VI norms will make it expensive for diesel cars to comply with the regulations. Diesel as a fuel will disappear in cars prices lesser than 1 million. </li><li>The engine oil and the spare parts used in diesel engines are considerably expensive than those that are used in the petrol ones. Hence the maintenance cost of diesel cars will become more than that of the petrol powered ones.</li><li>Diesel cars produce more vibrations and noise.</li></ul>For reasons cited above and many others, petrol cars will become a far better option for the car buyers in future. Hence a lot of buyers are already making a shift in their preferences.

10 Reasons why you should buy a Petrol Car after BS VI Norms come into force

CHENNAI: A <keyword id="6356109" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="diesel">diesel</keyword> vehicle means higher cost of acquisition but significantly lower fuel bills, right? Well, not quite. Thanks to falling <keyword id="6367091" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Petrol">petrol</keyword> prices and rising diesel fuel costs in recent months, the petrol-diesel gap is now at its slimmest since last June. Which means, the Rs 1-lakh premium (at the very least) that any diesel vehicle commands over its petrol variant now makes the former’s running costs steeper than a petrol car. The math is clear: Petrol cars, including running costs and cost of acquisition, are now cheaper to run than diesel vehicles. 
 First the figures. With the latest cut in petrol prices on Sunday, August 31, and regular increases in diesel prices by 50p, the petrol-diesel gap now spans a slim spectrum, ranging from Rs 9.15 to just over Rs 12. The gap between the two fuels in Delhi is Rs 9.54 per litre. It’s highest in <keyword id="6354925" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Kolkata">Kolkata</keyword> at Rs 12.33 per litre with Chennai and Mumbai at Rs 8.63 and Rs 9.15 per litre, respectively. 
 
On an average, a new vehicle gives a mileage of 14-15 km per litre. For 50 km a day — the average commute distance in most Indian metros — the vehicle will, therefore, consume nearly 4 litres of petrol. That works out to about 120 litres of petrol a month. 
 
 
 In Delhi, the fuel differential will, therefore, save you around Rs 1,100 a month if you’re driving a diesel vehicle rather than a petrol one. Ditto for Mumbai. The <keyword id="25450" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="savings">savings</keyword> are over Rs 1,000 a month in Chennai and nearly Rs 1,500 a month in Kolkata. Substantial? Not quite. 
 
Now consider the premium that you need to fork out to drive away with your diesel vehicle, and watch the math turn topsy turvy. A typical diesel car costs at least Rs 1,00,000 more than its petrol variant. 
 Let’s take a common example — the Maruti <keyword id="6911" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="suzuki">Suzuki</keyword> Swift. A best-selling car in both its petrol and diesel variants, the Swift petrol LXi base model costs Rs 4.42 lakh ex-showroom, Delhi. Its base diesel model LDi costs Rs 5.46 lakh ex-Delhi. 
 
Amortized over a typical loan period of four years, or 48 months, this just over Rs 1,00,000 differential means that the cost of acquiring a diesel vehicle is at least Rs 2,000 more each month. Which means even in the more fuel-expensive cities like Mumbai and Chennai, the monthly price differential between petrol and diesel, at just over Rs 1,000, is half of the premium that buying a diesel vehicle will impose on your pocket for the length of the loan period. 
 
This petrol-diesel math is responsible for the tide turning in favour of petrol vehicles in recent months. Top car marketers say the preference for diesel variants over petrol is down from 70:30 back in 2012 to 50:50 right now. Diesel’s small incremental price hikes mean it is nearly 14% costlier now than a year ago. Meanwhile, a decontrolled petrol price has seen some downward corrections. 
 
However, despite the slimmer differential, diesel still scores over petrol in terms of mileage. Explained Kumar Kandaswami, director, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India: “Diesel vehicles offer 15-20% better mileage which petrol variants will find difficult to match. So per km cost of diesel will always be better. But there is clearly a rebalancing going on and at this rate the market should settle at a 55:45 ratio between diesel and petrol vehicle sales.”

As Diesel Prices Rise, It’s Now Cheaper To Run Petrol Cars

NEW DELHI: Indian consumers are shifting back to petrol-run passenger vehicles that are set to start outselling diesel variants again after two years, boosted by falling petrol prices and the narrowing price gap between the two fuels. The changing demand trend amid a turnaround in the auto market is making manufacturers rework their production schedule in the run-up to the festival season when sales spike up. Diesel cars have enjoyed a smooth run for more than two years as the fuel costs less than petrol and offers better mileage, making such vehicles a preferred choice for India’s cost-conscious buyers. 
 
That is fast changing with the government phasing out diesel subsidy and petrol, which is deregulated since June 2010, getting cheaper. Diesel is nearly 14% costlier now than a year earlier, while petrol has become a bit cheaper year-over-year. The trend in the automobile market is quite pronounced on some models. 
 When <keyword id="1381889" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Honda-Cars-India">Honda Cars India</keyword> launched its compact sedan Amaze in 2013, the local unit of the Japanese major found 80% of the buyers going for the diesel version. The Amaze was <keyword id="20630" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Honda">Honda</keyword>’s first diesel offering in India and was launched to meet the then growing demand for cars that run on diesel. 
 
However, last month, just a little over half the buyers for Amaze chose a diesel variant. “Customers are now more educated over their needs and are not going blindly for diesel cars any longer,” said Jnaneshwar Sen, head for marketing and sales. Honda witnessed a similar trend for the new City, with just 50% of buyers preferring diesel in July compared with 70% at the time the mid-size sedan was launched in January this year. 
 
According to executives at car manufacturers that ET spoke to, the festival season that commences next month looks perfect for petrol cars to capture lost ground as the overall market is also on a recovery path with domestic sales recording three straight months of growth. They expect shift of customer preference for conventionally wiser petrol – maintenance cost of petrol cars is usually lower and fuel is more environment friendly – to continue, and are accordingly adjusting their strategies. 
 <keyword id="44883" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Maruti-Suzuki">Maruti Suzuki</keyword>, the country’s largest carmaker, has shelved plans for a new diesel engine plant at Gurgaon and is concentrating on its petrol models as it strives for higher market share. “While diesel car sales have declined 7%, sales of petrol cars have grown by almost 11% in the past few months,” said a senior executive. “Enquiries on and sales of petrol models have jumped in recent months.”

 Companies aren’t just altering production plans, but also offering petrol variants at aggressive price to tap the shift. “Customers are increasingly going towards petrol and keeping the same trend in mind, we aggressively priced the new car with the intention to increase the share in the premium hatchback segment,” said <keyword id="596" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hyundai">Hyundai</keyword>’s head for marketing and sales, Rakesh Srivastava. The company has invested $600 million in a hybrid engine manufacturing plant capable of producing both petrol and diesel engines on the same line to tackle shifting demand in the Indian market. 
 Overall ownership cost of diesel-fired vehicles has gone up, said Amit Kaushik, principal analyst, autos, at consultancy firm <keyword id="350927" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="IHS-Automotive">IHS Automotive</keyword>. Car companies are vying on the government policy that is further likely to dampen demand for diesel cars. 
 
Price gap between the two fuels now stands at just Rs 12 and may further close in coming months because of government strategy of increasing diesel price by 50 paise every month until it aligns with market rates.

10 Reasons Why You Should Buy A Diesel Car

New Delhi, Feb 3 () German luxury car maker Audi on Monday launched the fourth generation of its flagship sedan, Audi A8L, in India with price starting at Rs 1.56 crore (ex-showroom).
 The Audi A8L is powered by a 3.0-litre petrol engine, which generates 340 horse power (hp) and can accelerate from 0-100 in 5.7 seconds.
 Commenting on the launch, Audi India head Balbir Singh Dhillon said, "The new A8L marks the dawn of a new design era for brand Audi. The car is sophisticated, technology and feature rich."
 Stating that the company has fundamentally re-engineered the car in its fourth generation, Dhillon said the A8L has larger dimensions and is heavily customisable.
 "We want customers to customise their car keeping in mind their likes and requirements and are confident that the new Audi A8L will witness the same success that its predecessors have enjoyed in the country," he added.
 He said the A8 forms an important part of Audi's product portfolio for 2020 that focuses on the push for C&amp;D segment cars.
 "The A8L is our third completely new BSVI-compliant model launch after the all-new Audi A6 and Audi Q8," he added.
 Dhillon said that as India moves to BS-VI emission norm from April 1, Audi will enter the new era with petrol vehicles only.
 "At this point in time, for the time being, we will not bring in diesel cars. Effective April 1, when we move from BSIV to BSVI, our cars will be petrol cars," Dhillon told .
 He, however, added, "We have not given up on diesel though. We are still evaluating, for the time being at least for a year or so we will run this strategy of petrol only." MSS RKL HRS
