· Automobile · Times of India, Hindustan Times
The Indian government plans to make the Advanced Emergency Braking System mandatory for all new car models starting October 2030, with enforcement for pre-2030 production models slated for October 2032. The upcoming draft notification places primary emphasis on taxis and commercial vehicles to reduce road crashes. Starting January 2027, new truck and bus models will also require AEBS alongside other safety features like blind spot detection and lane departure warnings. Taxis will additionally be required to feature automatic command steering and driver drowsiness warning systems. Automobile experts note that these automated interventions will help reduce fatigue for commercial drivers who spend long hours on the road.
Why it matters
The mandate will significantly alter safety standards for commercial and passenger vehicles in India, reducing driver fatigue and collision risks on highways.
