Welcome to EM

19mpg in the city is already quite good The best mods for city driving are low rolling resistance (pumped up tires) and weight reduction (remove everything you don't need, even the rear seats).
A grille block in your climate might not be the best of ideas...

If there's a bright side, I guess it's that nobody really cares if you obey the traffic laws (stop signs, etc.) in India!
Which also means that no one will care if your aeromods are certified
