Yes, BH (Bharat Series) registration is available in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and eligible PSU employees can apply for it. The BH series is a central government initiative, and Tamil Nadu is one of the states that has implemented it. The scheme is available to employees of the central government, state governments, PSUs and private sector employees whose companies have offices in more than four states or union territories. The application process is handled through the Vahan portal, and the vehicle dealer can assist with the paperwork at the time of purchase.

Today, I enquired with the RTO officials, and they confirmed that BH Series registration is yet to be implemented in Tamil Nadu. In this situation, what can be done? Since BH registration is a Central Government initiative and is already available through the VAHAN system, can we approach the Tamil Nadu Transport Department and MoRTH for immediate implementation in the state

@ashok0907 I too enquired multiple dealers about this, They’re saying official GO is not there in Tamilnadu for giving BH registration number plates in Tamilnadu, it’s available only in Pondicherry and Karaikal as of now

I recently bought a Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder Strong Hybrid and intend to use Jio-BP petrol because of its claimed advantages. However, a Toyota service adviser has advised me against it, saying that Jio-BP petrol has been causing engine damage. Is there any technical or expert opinion on this?

There is no technical evidence to suggest that Jio-BP petrol is harmful to your Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder Strong Hybrid. All major fuel brands in India, including Jio-BP, must meet the same BIS and BS6 fuel quality standards, and Toyota engineers its engines to run reliably on fuel from any compliant pump. The Hyryder’s hybrid system is not unusually sensitive to fuel quality. It is designed for Indian conditions and fuel variability.The only caveat is to avoid pumps with visibly poor maintenance or questionable fuel storage practices, regardless of brand. If you are concerned, stick to busy, well-maintained pumps where fuel turnover is high. Otherwise, there is no reason to avoid Jio BP petrol specifically. The car will run just as reliably on it as on fuel from any other major brand.

Six months into running my Wagon R on CNG, and the boot space compromise is smaller than I expected going in.

I have a Tata Nexon Creative AMT that is only a year old, but I have already had to replace the spark plugs four times and the ignition coil once. I am still facing engine misfires and vibrations inside the car. I am honestly fed up with Tata's service, as they have been unable to resolve the issue. I am therefore planning to sell the Nexon and buy a Kia Seltos with a manual transmission this time. My priority was safety earlier, and it remains my top priority. However, I now also want peace of mind and a hassle-free ownership experience. Would selling the Nexon and switching to the Seltos be a good decision?

Yes, it is a good decisionYes, it is a good decision to sell the Tata Nexon and move to the Seltos manual. The Nexon is generally a safe and well-engineered car, but if you are facing repeated engine issues and the service centre is unable to resolve them, it is understandable to lose confidence in the ownership experience. The Kia Seltos is a very well-rounded SUV with a strong safety package, a more refined ownership experience and a good service network. The manual transmission is also a good choice if you want to avoid any potential automatic gearbox-related issues. Overall, if peace of mind and a hassle-free ownership experience are your top priorities, the Seltos is a sensible upgrade.

I am planning to buy a sub-compact SUV. My budget is Rs. 13-14 lakh, and my priorities are a smooth automatic transmission and good mileage. I am considering the Brezza ZXi AT, Sonet HXT DCT, and Venue HX6 DCT. I am very confused because the Brezza’s torque-converter automatic offers good fuel efficiency but lacks some features, while the Sonet and Venue offer all the features I need. However, I am concerned that the DCT may be less fuel-efficient and could involve higher maintenance costs. My daily commute is around 30 km, mostly in heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic. Please suggest which one would be the best choice for my requirements.

Go for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXI AT. Your priorities are a smooth automatic, good fuel efficiency and a daily 30km commute in heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic. The Brezza’s 6-speed torque converter automatic is the best fit for this usage. It is smooth, reliable and well suited to stop-start conditions, and the naturally aspirated petrol engine is efficient and easy to live with. Maruti’s service reach and low maintenance costs add to the ownership peace of mind.The Sonet and Venue DCTs are good cars, but the DCT gearbox is not ideal for heavy traffic. It can feel jerky at low speeds.Alternatively, if you can arrange for home charging, the Tata Punch EV is an excellent option.

I currently drive a Grand i10 Manual petrol and am now planning to buy a new compact SUV that is comfortable, fuel efficient and has low maintenance. My usage is 35km of daily office commute in Delhi-NCR traffic. Please advice which option is best fit amongst Hyundai Venue HX 6T, SONET HTK+O and XUV 3XO.

Go for the Hyundai Venue. With your daily 35km commute in Delhi NCR traffic, comfort and low maintenance are key, and the Venue delivers on both. The 1.2 NA petrol is smooth, refined and easy to drive in stop-start conditions, while Hyundai’s service network and ownership experience are among the best in the segment. The HX6T variant also gives you a good balance of features without pushing the budget too far.The Sonet HTK+O is mechanically very similar, but the Venue is a newer model and offers a more spacious cabin. The XUV 3XO is also a good option, but its turbo petrol engine won't be as efficient as the Hyundai’s.Overall, the Venue is the most sensible upgrade from your Grand i10 for daily city use.
