The Japanese carmaker has said that it dealers have aggressively liquidating BS4 stock and since January it has been only dispatching BS6 vehicles.

Commenting on the sales, Rajesh Goel, Senior Vice President and Director - Marketing and Sales, Honda Cars India said, "Our dispatches were limited and in line with our plan of total supply availability for the month. We are determined to enhance the supplies with subsequent introduction of BS6 versions of other models and bring down the waiting period for our customers. Since we have been supplying only BS-6 cars from January onwards and dealers were aggressively liquidating their BS4 stock, our channel is left with negligible stock of BS4 cars as of February end."
