For the first time, the ministry presented a detailed assessment of the expected performance of the top five car makers in the country. It said that based on the proposed framework, which will be released for public comment, only Tata Motors will be able to meet the target between 2027-28 and 2031-32, while Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai Motors India may not make the cut.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Iran calls Israeli bombing of fuel depots ‘ecocide’; Trump warns Nato over war fallout’Fabrication of clips using AI’: UAE orders action against 19 Indians over misleading posts amid Iran warNetanyahu Debunks Death Rumours: PM posts new cafe video; envoy calls AI claims fakeThe presentation shows that Toyota-Kirloskar Motors will be able to meet targets in first three years, 2027-28 to 202930, while Mahindra & Mahindra will miss the goals in first three years. “Going by this, the proposed regime will end up in levying high penalty on companies that do not meet the target,” said an official.CAFE 3.0 norms propose to do away with derogation (extra allowance) or relief for small car makers, while seeking to introduce RangeExtended Electric Vehicle (REEV), which would have the same Volume Derogation Factor (VDF) of 3 as for electric cars.
