The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) is considering a revision of the Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency-3 (CAFE-3) norms, proposing to use E25 fuel as the base for calculations instead of E20. This revision is part of India's efforts to reduce crude oil imports and increase the blending of ethanol in fuels. By adopting E25, which contains 25% ethanol, the BEE aims to enhance fuel efficiency standards and support the country's transition towards more sustainable energy sources. The move reflects a growing emphasis on reducing dependence on fossil fuels and promoting cleaner alternatives in the transportation sector.
