A fresh set of rules and key changes will come into effect from Tuesday, September 1, impacting finances and travel plans for people across India, as well as abroad.
This price hike of commercial LPG will directly affect businesses like hotels and restaurants. The Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) announced on September 1 that the prices of 19kg commercial LPG have risen by ₹ 9.50 per cylinder applicable all over India. This brings the price of an LPG cylinder to ₹ 2,738 in Delhi.
Under the government’s PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement, or PM E-DRIVE scheme, new localisation requirements come into effect. Manufacturers can no longer import fully built traction motors. The development represents another step in the government’s aim to ensure public motivation to adopt Electric Vehicles and also foster a deeper domestic manufacturing ecosystem. ‘Duration of status’ was a US immigration policy that allowed international students and exchange students to stay in the US for the duration of their program or course as long as they maintained their legal status.
India’s electric commercial vehicle industry will see a new important change from September 1, 2026.
The scheme requires domestic manufacturing of traction motors and critical components for electric commercial vehicles to qualify for government subsidies, according to a report by Auto Punditz.
