New Delhi, June 8 (IANS) The Centre has mandated a green coloured band as the number plate sticker for BS-6 four-wheel vehicles.

Accordingly, a green strip of 1 cm thickness has been mandated by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways for "BS 6 vehicles for sticker of registration details being stuck on windshields of 4 wheelers".

Currently, petrol or CNG have a light blue sticker and diesel fuelled vehicle sport orange colour.

"These stickers will now have a green strip of 1 cm on top for BS VI, as mandated," the ministry said in a statement.

The BS-VI emission standards were enforced since April 1, 2020. These provide for stricter and cleaner emission norms and are at par with the emission standards being followed across the world.
