The Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) has certified Škoda Auto India’s 1.0 TSI engine to be E20 compliant. This marks Škoda among the first few OEMs to receive E20 compliance from an official body.

Speaking on the certification, Petr Janeba, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, said: “Along with making cars that lead in driving dynamics and safety, efficiency and sustainability have also been at the centre of our product and production practices. TSI technology has been time-tested and proven for efficiency and emissions, while being effectively powered. We have evolved and adapted this technology to various updates in standards and policies across the globe. The 1.0 TSI especially, with its 3-cylinder turbo configuration tuned for power and efficiency is a versatile powertrain, and the E20 certification is a testament to this. We are confident of a similar outcome when the 1.5 TSI is tested, later this year.”

The certification

The 1.0 TSI is now among the first few engines in India to receive an E20 certification by an official body. The 1.0 TSI powers the Kushaq SUV and Slavia sedan in Škoda Auto India’s line-up. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. The 1.5 TSI powering these two cars are also undergoing tests. The results of this are tentatively slated for Q4 2024. The Indian government has made it mandatory for all cars from April 1, 2025 to be E20 compliant. The E20 fuel blend consists of 20% ethanol – made from renewable sources like corn, sugarcane or biomass — and 80% petrol. This reduces the amount of fossil fuel per litre and emissions.

The engine

The 1.0 TSI makes 85kW of power (115ps) and 178Nm of torque and is mated to a six-speed automatic or a six-speed manual. While the engine is available across variants in the Kushaq and the Slavia, the E20-compliant engine made its debut in the recently introduced Kushaq Onyx AT and will eventually make it to every 1.0 TSI Škoda to roll off the production line from Chakan, Pune.

Livlong 365, India’s leading OPD healthcare platform, has officially integrated with Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA), marking a significant leap in digital healthcare accessibility and interoperability. Now available on both Android and iOS, Livlong 365 enables users to create, link, and manage their ABHA ID, ensuring seamless access to health records across hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centers. This integration is expected to drive 200–300% growth in ABHA linkages over the next 12–18 months, further aligning with India’s Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) and boosting digital health adoption nationwide.

This milestone aligns with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), which aims to create a unified digital health ecosystem for India. By integrating ABHA, individuals can securely store, share, and retrieve medical records, eliminating paperwork and enhancing healthcare efficiency. The ABHA integration is projected to increase user adoption by 150–200% in the first year, as users gain the ability to download and link their health records across multiple service providers, including Livlong 365.

Gaurav Dubey, Founder & CEO of Livlong 365, emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating , “Our integration with ABHA is a pivotal step in revolutionizing healthcare delivery through a seamlessly connected, technology-driven ecosystem. By ensuring efficient data exchange, this initiative empowers patients with uninterrupted, high-quality care while enabling insurers to make more informed risk assessments. This alignment with the national healthcare vision strengthens transparency, efficiency, and accessibility—laying the foundation for a more resilient and patient-centric healthcare system. Livlong 365 is proud to align with the Central Government’s initiative of shaping a future where technology enhances every touchpoint of healthcare, ensuring better outcomes for all.”

For years, India’s healthcare system has struggled with fragmented records, misplaced prescriptions, and unorganized patient histories. The integration of ABHA with Livlong 365 streamlines healthcare management by providing a single digital health ID for all medical records. Patients gain full control over their medical data, ensuring consent-based, secure sharing with healthcare providers. This enables faster doctor consultations, seamless access to hospitals and diagnostic centers, and improved emergency care through instant availability of medical history.

With the increasing adoption of tech-driven healthcare solutions, the ABHA-Livlong integration is set to accelerate the transition to a paperless, data-driven healthcare system in India. As the country moves towards a digital-first healthcare framework, this initiative reinforces Livlong 365’s commitment to enhancing healthcare accessibility, efficiency, and security.
