India to introduce stricter BS-VII emission norms for new cars from April 2029

India proposed Bharat Stage VII BS-VII emission norms for new cars and SUVs on October 14.
The new rules will begin on April 1, 2029, with three phases extending to April 2031 and April 2035.
BS-VII aims to cut harmful vehicle emissions by 20–50%, with stricter pollution monitoring and real-world tests.
Existing BS-VI vehicles won't need replacement, but new cars could cost more due to cleaner technology.
