Centre Approves Cummins' Emission Reduction Device for PLI Scheme
The government is giving money to companies that make car parts that help reduce pollution.
One company, Cummins, has a device that helps diesel engines produce less harmful gases.
This device has been approved for financial support under a government scheme called PLI-Auto.
The goal is to encourage the use of these advanced technologies in India.
These technologies help reduce the pollution from cars, especially heavy-duty trucks, which produce a lot of emissions.
The government also wants to make these parts in India to become more self-reliant.
The scheme aims to support technologies like these to meet stricter environmental standards.
The Centre approved Cummins' device to cut nitrous oxide emissions.
The device is for diesel engines that meet India's BS-VI emissions standards.

Stringent localization criteria are included to boost domestic manufacturing.
