The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has proposed amendments to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR) to simplify and extend regulations for vehicles retrofitted with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) kits.
The proposed amendment offers relief by doubling the validity of type approvals from three to six years.
However, vehicles will need to undergo additional performance tests to qualify for this extension.
Industry players said the proposed move is a step in the right direction, providing relief to the industry while also ensuring stricter environmental enforcement.
