However, they were taken off the shelves as they didn’t meet the latest and more stringent BS6 emission regulations that were enforced in the country on 1 April 2020. While Benelli India has confirmed the upcoming BS6 models, it hasn’t released any launch timeline. However, based on a previous report, the brand is expected to launch one new BS6 motorcycle every month from January 2021. This process will continue until August next year.
