India Proposes Stricter Auto Emission Norms and Incentives for Cleaner Vehicles
India's government released draft Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE) III norms on July 16, aiming to enforce stricter emission standards from April 2027. These norms encourage automakers to increase sales of cleaner vehicles, including electric, hybrid, CNG, and flex-fuel models, with a goal of over half of sales being clean vehicles by 2030. The draft also proposes treating range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs) with the same incentives as battery electric vehicles (BEVs), despite classifying REEVs as hybrids, sparking debate over their regulatory status.
