Regulations for homologation of hybrid cars in the country are likely to be put in place in the next one year. A committee, consisting of members from Ministry of Surface Transport, Ministry of Heavy Industries and top officials from companies such as Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, Mahindra, and Bajaj, has been recently formed to introduce laws governing hybrid vehicles.
“There are a few manufacturers in India who are trying to introduce such vehicles. Some Indian manufacturers like Mahindras and Tatas are working in the area of hybrids. These type of vehicles will be good for our country. A panel is working to expedite the finalising of standards for hybrid cars,” Mr Shrikant Marathe, Director, Automotive Research Association of India, told Business Line.
