One hack. Could an entire electric three-wheeler fleet go down?

How cyber-safe are India’s electric three-wheelers?

In Episode 4 of Autocar Professional’s Cybersecurity Dialogues, Karthik Anantha, Head of R&D at Omega Seiki Mobility, and Vikash Choudhary, Founder & CEO of HackersEra, join Autocar Professional’s Mukul Yudhveer Singh to discuss the growing cybersecurity risks around electric three-wheelers, connected vehicles and commercial vehicle fleets.

As vehicles become increasingly connected through telematics, mobile applications, charging infrastructure and digital payment systems, a cyberattack may no longer be limited to a single vehicle.

For commercial vehicle operators, the impact could potentially extend across an entire fleet.

Watch Episode 4 of Autocar Professional’s Cybersecurity Dialogues to understand where the vulnerabilities lie and how the industry can prepare.

Salary growth in India’s automotive sector is projected at 9.2 percent for FY2026-27, down slightly from 9.4 percent in FY2025-26, according to TeamLease Services’ Jobs & Salaries Primer report.

Gurgaon and Chennai lead city-wise growth, while Delhi and Pune follow. The report notes that increments are moving away from broad-based distributions and are being tied more closely to EV adoption, dealership digitisation and advanced manufacturing workflows.

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has approved a proposed timeline for BS7 emission norms, as reported by Economic Times. Implementation is set to begin in April 2029, with rollout planned through 2035

▪️ The proposed timeline aligns with Europe’s Euro 7 standards.
▪️ The minimum particle size counted in emissions testing will be reduced from 23 nanometres to 10 nanometres.
▪️ The proposed rules will also cover non-exhaust emissions generated from brake wear and tyre abrasion.
▪️ The framework proposes real-world emissions checks, with independent testing agencies conducting in-use compliance checks.
▪️ Most gaseous pollutant limits for passenger vehicles are proposed to remain at BS6 levels.
▪️ A rollout timeline for two-wheelers is yet to be announced.
▪️ The timeline and requirements are subject to final regulations.
