Super Credits for Clean Trucks
Clean trucks get bonus points!
Under the new draft, battery-electric and hydrogen trucks earn “super credits.”
This means:
They count more towards meeting efficiency targets
Manufacturers get extra incentive to produce & sell them
Result: A faster shift to zero-emission freight in India

Walking safely is not a luxury, it’s your right! The Supreme Court ruled that proper, accessible, and encroachment-free footpaths are protected under Article 21 (Right to Life).
Key highlights of the verdict include:
- Safe and inclusive footpaths are non-negotiable
- Union & State Governments must frame pedestrian-friendly guidelines.
With pedestrians accounting for 20% of road deaths in 5 years (2019-2023), this ruling will go a long way in saving lives.

India’s 7,500 km coastline and rich marine life are under threat from overfishing, plastic pollution, and rising sea levels. Protecting oceans through sustainable fishing, reducing waste, and restoring marine ecosystems is vital for our future.

Consumer Protection is one of CAG's core areas of work and as part of our efforts to educate and inform consumers on various consumer issues and related happenings, including our own activities, we publish "Consumer Update", a bi-monthly e-newsletter.
On this International Day of Older Persons, let’s make our streets safer for seniors. We can do that by creating the following:
Safe pedestrian crossings at busy junctions
Age-friendly public transport like low floor buses, hand rails, ramps, escalators and lifts for easier mobility.
Walkable, shaded footpaths for comfort
A city that cares for its elders is a city that cares for all.
