Quiet infrastructure upgrades like this don't usually get much attention, but they matter.

If the accuracy of fuel-economy testing improves, the actual displayed fuel figures should become more trustworthy too.

I honestly didn't know the wind tunnel facility even covered emissions testing.

Getting it from an Indian certification body suggests this is mainly about strengthening development for India-bound models.

If they can get international certification through their own facility, they can handle everything from development to certification in-house — pretty efficient.
