Automobile manufacturers will have to comply with stricter fuel efficiency norms from April 1 next year, as the government is unlikely to extend the deadline for the implementation of the Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency III standards, Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Heavy Industries Hanif Qureshi said on Monday. He said that the need to extend the implementation deadline beyond April 1, 2027, may not arise, as the government has been in touch with the auto industry stakeholders on the CAFE III norms, and has sought their feedback regularly, keeping them well-informed.

Differences persist among auto manufacturers on the rules, with small car makers arguing that leniency must be granted to them in the corporate average fuel efficiency (CAFE-III) norms on the basis of weight and affordability, even as large OEMs are opposed to differential treatment, saying it would compromise safety features.
