Government raises restrictions on imports of 50-year-old cars
In 2013, the Indian government made all cars qualified to import into the country by 1950 with his historic move, and now, this has expanded to 50-year-old cars, IE Cars produced in 1975 or before. Furthermore, this is on a rolling basis, so cars manufactured next year in 1976 or before will be eligible for imports, etc. The calculation of a 50-year-old car is based on its original registration date. Although the government has realized that 50-year-old cars are not threatening to local manufacturing, in most countries, even cars with extremely strict vehicle certification and certification requirements, the restrictions are extended for only 25 to 30 years. . Obviously, there is no such restriction for countries that do not have any local manufacturing industry to protect. We hope that this period of limitation will be reduced to a more realistic 25 or 30 years in the future. For now enthusiasts who have now browsed 50-year-old fleets on Japanese, UK and…
Worldecr | U.S. State Department reissues Cuba subject to restrictions
Home > information > U.S. State Department reisses Cuba restrictions list after policy reversal The U.S. State Department said in the February 6 Federal Gazette that after reversing the Biden administration’s strict sanctions on Havana, it is usually prohibited to reissue the list of entities and residents who directly trade. The department explained that the list determines the control of an entity, or the control or representation of a Cuban military, intelligence or security service or personnel. Direct financial transactions with these entities “will disproportionately benefit such services or personnel at the expense of Cuban people or private enterprises in Cuba.” The recovery list was revoked on January 16 after Biden issued a National Security Memorandum 29 ("NSM-29"), but after President Donald Trump entered the White House and issued an execution order, NSM was restored on January 20. "The Secretary of State is therefore reissuing the Cuban restriction list," the department explained. The updated list includes another secondary that did…

Delhi-NCR reimposes GRAP-IV restrictions as situation worsens
The Council of Air Quality Management (CAQM) has reimposed GRAP-IV (Graded Response Action Plan) restrictions in the National Capital Region of Delhi as the air quality deteriorated to the 'severe' category. With the Air Quality Index (AQI) crossing the 400 mark yesterday, authorities have taken proactive measures to curb further deterioration. Under GRAP-IV, activities such as non-essential construction, gravel and diesel generator operations are restricted to reduce emissions. The move is in response to increasing concentrations of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), which pose serious health risks to residents. The restrictions are intended to address worsening air pollution during winter, when the air is typically stagnant and emissions increase. Citizens are advised to limit outdoor activities while law enforcement agencies step up surveillance to ensure compliance with restrictions.

F1: What is the Formula 1 summer break like? Rules and restrictions
The demanding Formula 1 calendar resulted in a much-needed break for teams after the Belgian Grand Prix. Unlike the usual intervals between races, this summer break was a 14-day break enforced by the FIA under Article 21.8 of the Formula 1 Sporting Regulations. This break is essential to maintaining a level playing field. By limiting the design, development and production of cars during this period, no team can gain an unfair advantage. This ensures a level playing field when racing resumes. While the break presents challenges for teams eager to improve their results, it also provides a much-needed break for the crew. Formula 1 racing is intense and race-long, so this break is needed to prevent burnout and maintain peak performance. All in all, the summer break is essential to maintaining competitive balance and the health of all those involved in the sport.
