Energy bureau to give star ratings to cars as per fuel efficiency, five stars for over 25.6 km per litre

New Delhi, July 18: Your new set of wheels is going to get its stars.

In a first of its kind venture, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) is embarking on a fuel efficiency labelling programme, in which cars will be assigned star-rating according to fuel efficiency.

A voluntary start will be made this year. A similar programme of star-ratings is currently on for marking energy saving efficiency in electrical goods like refrigerators.
