Maruti Suzuki India Chairman R.C. Bhargava said the ability to get green transportation in India is going to take time because of the nature of its electricity generation.
In his first interaction with the Indian media, Maruti Suzuki's new CEO Hisashi Takeuchi revealed the carmaker's plans to roll out its first electric car by 2025 and more.

India is a market for low-priced cars with low running costs, and global majors don’t have the models to match Maruti and Hyundai’s entry-level vehicles.
Maruti is expecting the global semiconductor crunch to last for about a year. The global chip shortage has crippled production and climbing commodity prices has raised input costs.
India's emissions curbs, due to take effect next year, are critical for its push to tackle some of the world’s worst air pollution, which costs the country 8.5% of its GDP.

The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
