Automakers are opposed to the government bringing forward implementation of new vehicle emission norms in India, home to 10 of the world’s 15 most polluted cities.
The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers has met with various ministries to voice concerns with speeding up stricter emissions rules by three years and will oppose a government proposal in writing, Vishnu Mathur, the group’s director general, said by phone Wednesday. Automakers are willing to accelerate standards by one year instead.
