  "account": "India's automobile industry is set to advocate for higher fuel vapour emission limits in the forthcoming BS VII regulations, according to industry insiders. The rationale behind this request is rooted in the country's 20% ethanol (E20) blend in petrol, which surpasses limits in other nations. Two sources familiar with the matter and a draft proposal reviewed by Mint have revealed this potential concession. Manas, a New Delhi-based journalist at Mint, specializes in economic policy, industry, and emerging sectors driving India's growth. He has covered topics ranging from electric mobility and battery ecosystems to the clean energy transition.",
  "summary": "The central government on 14 October proposed to enforce Bharat Stage VII (BS VII) regulations starting 2029, in three phases for cars, light trucks, and heavy commercial vehicles, to ensure that vehicles made and sold in India emit less pollutants and greenhouse gases.",
