India Releases CAFE III Norms for Vehicle Emissions

India Releases CAFE III Norms for Vehicle Emissions

India has released new rules called CAFE III to make cars more fuel-efficient and reduce pollution.

These rules will start in 2027 and aim to lower the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that cars emit.

Manufacturers will have to meet certain targets, and those who do well can earn credits, while those who don't can buy credits.

The rules also give benefits to cars that use cleaner fuels like ethanol and CNG.

This means cars might become more expensive, but they could also use less fuel, making them more attractive to buyers who want to save on fuel costs.
