The document provides specifications for diesel and gasoline fuels in India under different standards (BS II, BS III, BS IV). For diesel, the key changes between standards are reductions in maximum sulfur content from 500 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg and increases in minimum cetane number and index. For gasoline, standards tightened distillation recovery ranges, increased minimum research octane and anti-knock index numbers, and lowered maximum sulfur and lead content.
