What the Workspace Is Actually For

CAFE compliance has historically been a once-a-year filing exercise built in Excel by the OEM's emissions and certification team. TerraNova for CAFE turns it into a continuously updated operating picture - one that survives the CAFE-II to CAFE 2027 regime change, the WLTP transition when MoRTH eventually notifies it, the potential gaps between the September 2025 published draft and the February / April 2026 revised drafts circulated to industry, and the new credit market that opens up alongside.

It does this through six steps that mirror the TerraNova process across all compliance markets - adapted for the specific moving parts of India CAFE.

Built for the Four Desks That Own CAFE

One workspace, four operating views - each desk sees the same fleet ledger through its own lens.

Compliance / Emissions Heads

Own the Section 4(8) p_i filings. Variant-level ledger, dual-cycle reporting, BEE-format submission - continuously, not annually.

Key Outcome

Filings Right, First Time

Treasury Heads

Own the penalty and credit-market exposure. Section 26 schedule, bank-vs-sell calls, scenario clearing prices.

Key Outcome

Exposure Priced, Not Guessed

Strategy Heads

Own the decarb-lever and BEV-ramp portfolio. MAC-ranked sequencing that re-ranks when a draft layer moves.

Key Outcome

Lowest-Cost Path to Compliance

Investor Relations

Own the external narrative. Labelled numbers - draft, model, assumption - that survive diligence.

Key Outcome

A Narrative That Holds Up
