He added that inputs will be sought from stakeholders such as federal think tank NITI Aayog (which had first recommended fixed form factor standards), the ministry of road transport, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), research and testing body the Automotive Research Association. India (ARAI) and industry participants. The meeting could be held as early as January.
