India has notified CAFE-3 fuel-efficiency rules for passenger vehicles, effective from April 1, 2027, to March 31, 2032. The rules assess manufacturers based on their sales-weighted fleet average rather than individual models. The final framework drops the proposed small-car concession and gives lighter fleets more flexibility while imposing tighter targets on heavier fleets. Battery and range-extended EVs get a 3x compliance factor, while hybrids receive lower multipliers. Carmakers can earn, trade or purchase credits to meet their targets. #cafe3 #fuelefficiency #bsvi #bsiv #evpolicy Important Playlists National News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YXb9Oh62yur4MRCdRLL6gCt Business News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YVXM88oXiuA1JMLZtODGP1y World News: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YW0Swy6-R3i50F5FbtDRiEe BS Decoded: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK5e1a2965YWYuC7DEL8Lxl-rhiElowEE Want access to Business Standard’
