Come April 2023, the Indian Auto Industry will be met by a new set of emission regulations, called RDE or Real Driving Emissions norms. Maruti Suzuki Tata Hyundai and others stop 17 cars from 2023: Check list. RDE can also be understood as Phase 2 of the BS6 emission norms.
Which will require all cars to achieve emission targets in real-world conditions, apart from also being tested in a laboratory environment on the MIDC (Modified Indian Test Cycle). The upcoming 2023 year so far does not hold good news for car buyers in the country. Leading car companies have announced price hikes across models from January 2023.
Now, reports suggest that 17 cars offered by different auto manufacturers may be discontinued from April 2023. Why? Because a new set of emission regulations called the Real Driving Emission (RDE) norms will set in from April next year in the country.
RDE requires vehicles to have an onboard self-diagnostic device to monitor the real-time driving emission levels. The device will constantly monitor key parts for meeting emission standards, such as catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, to keep a close watch on emissions.
RDE test measures the pollutants such as NOx emitted by vehicles in a real-life environment, instead of just a laboratory, resulting in better compliance. RDE is described as Phase 2 of BS-VI emission norms in India whose first phase kicked in 2020.
