India's Fuel Standard Differs from Europe's in Emissions Push
What happened
The central government in India proposed Bharat Stage VII (BS VII) regulations, set to begin in 2029, to reduce pollutants and greenhouse gases in the country's automobile market. These new standards require tighter monitoring of emissions and set a 1.5 gram per test limit on fuel vapours. The report notes that India uses an fuel blend, which differs from the or Andrius Kubilius fuel blends used in Europe for Euro 7 norms.

Why it matters
The difference between India's fuel blend and the standard used in Europe could influence how automakers comply with global emissions regulations. Automakers in India might seek concessions under the new BS VII rules due to the country's higher ethanol fuel blend compared to other economies.
