Tata Motors Rejects Allegations of Emission Norm Violations
Mumbai, 25 November 2025:
Tata Motors has issued a firm clarification denying media reports that alleged irregularities in emissions levels of its newly launched diesel SUVs. According to the company, all models in question fully comply with the mandated BS-VI Phase 2 emission norms.
In an official statement, Tata Motors said:
“The allegations circulating in a section of the media are factually incorrect and misleading. Tata Motors adheres strictly to all regulatory and environmental requirements.”
Company Shares Compliance Documents
Sources within the company confirm that Tata Motors has already shared detailed testing reports with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH). The documents reportedly show full compliance with emissions and fuel efficiency regulations.
The company added that the vehicles were tested not only in certified labs but also through on-road real-world emissions measurement, ensuring transparency in results.
Regulators Begin Preliminary Review
Although no official investigation has been announced, regulatory bodies are said to be reviewing the claims as part of routine scrutiny. Industry experts say such reviews are standard and not indicative of fault.
Analysts suggest that the timing of the allegations may coincide with the upcoming holiday-season sales period, potentially impacting sentiment around diesel vehicles.
Impact on Market & Industry Reaction
Following the news, Tata Motors’ stock saw brief early-day volatility but recovered after the official clarification was issued. Auto-sector analysts say the company’s credibility, strong compliance record, and rapid expansion in EVs make it unlikely that regulatory breaches would occur.
