ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-III (Environment, Energy): India's oil import dependence and transport emissions call for fleet-level efficiency regulation. CAFE-III, framed under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, tightens 2027-32 targets while giving credits for hybrids, flex-fuel and biofuels, which keeps technology choices open. The way forward lies in strict BEE monitoring, a predictable policy for manufacturers and alignment with EV and ethanol blending goals.
