[...] • Retrofitment will be subjected to availability of type-approved kits with respect to the make and model of the vehicle models and the retrofitment centre duly authorized by the kit manufacturer and the transport department. [...] The fitness tests ensure that the vehicle matches the requirements of the Indian market in terms of emission and safety and road-worthiness as per the CMVR.
