Fuel consumption from new passenger cars in India: manufacturers’ performance in fiscal year 2020–21

This is the latest in a series of studies assessing how manufacturer groups are performing with respect to India’s fuel consumption standards, which are slated to become more stringent in fiscal year (FY) 2022–23. This study also compares the technology included in best-in-class vehicles in Europe and India. India had been close to Europe in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from cars in the past decade, but the gap widened in 2020 when Europe adopted stringent regulations for 2025 and 2030.
