It’s madness for Australia to be pushing this more than almost half of the worlds population (in two countries).
I say Stage 5 emissions until Modi and Xi lift their games on a LOT of issues regarding that subject.

India actually has very strict emission standards. I don't know why people keep this misnomer that they don't. China is also very strict with emissions which is why they're pushing EVs to reduce their emissions.
Indian Cars over 15 years old have to get a special check done to extend their road life to 20 years after which they have to be recycled unless you can show they're polluting equal to today's standards (not like Australia where cars need to meet the standards at the time they were sold and no one really checks that ever). Their emissions standards are similar to Euro level (called Bharat Stage Standards).
Cars need to pass yearly emissions tests to see how much pollutants they're pumping out as part of their annual inspections.
India is moving away from diesel rapidly especially in the consumer space. Almost all taxis are now CNG to reduce emissions and EVs are selling very well there.
