Auto Makers Oppose New Small Car Subcategory
Small Car Emissions
Indian automotive manufacturers have raised objections to a proposed new subcategory of small cars under the CAFE-3 regulations. The draft suggests implementing a three gram lower emission cap specifically for vehicles weighing up to 909 kg. Industry representatives have voiced concerns that this targeted emission standard could create unfair market advantages. Additionally, safety experts have pointed out that lighter vehicles designed to meet these stricter emission limits might struggle to achieve the five-star safety rating in the Bharat NCAP assessment program. The automotive industry is currently engaged in discussions with regulatory bodies to address these concerns before the new standards are finalized.
