BS-6 Diesel-Powered Cars Under Rs. 10 Lakh

The BS-VI compliance norms have resulted in diesel cars getting even more expensive. The reason for the price hike is that cars running on diesel require expensive additions as compared to petrol-powered vehicles to comply with the same emission norms. The price variance between the two types of vehicles can easily span over a lakh. If you are someone who is searching for a diesel-powered vehicle that will not burn a hole in your wallet, then there are quite a few options for you to choose from. Here is a list of a few fine BS6 diesel cars under Rs.10 lakh:
