M&M, Hyundai, and Kia are among eight car manufacturers facing penalties totaling up to Rs 7,300 crore for failing to meet emission standards. Hyundai faces the largest penalty of over Rs 2,800 crore, while Mahindra and Kia could incur penalties of nearly Rs 1,800 crore and over Rs 1,300 crore, respectively.

The Australian EV market is experiencing a paradox with new electric vehicle launches coinciding with declining sales, attributed to high inflation and consumer hesitation. Despite a surge in sales for the MG4, overall BEV penetration has dropped to 6.8%, while New Zealand mirrors this trend with stable penetration rates and lingering inventory issues. As over 40 new EVs are expected by 2026, the market anticipates a pivotal shift in consumer sentiment and sales dynamics.
