Among the new rules are tighter emissions standards, pushing up the costs for domestic carmakers and forcing many to increase prices in India, which is expected to become the world’s third-largest car market by 2026.

Skoda this week previewed its first vehicle under the new strategy, a family sport utility vehicle which it expects to launch in India next year.
