India to Mandate Advanced Emergency Braking Systems in New Cars from 2030
India's Ministry of Road Transport and Highways plans to mandate advanced emergency braking systems (AEBS) in all new cars from October 2030, with existing models required to comply by 2032. This move aims to enhance vehicle safety alongside other phased measures including revised crash-test standards, pedestrian protection, event data recorders, and immobilisers, with deadlines extending through 2032. The AEBS uses sensors to detect potential collisions and automatically applies brakes to prevent or reduce crash impact, supporting the government's efforts to reduce road accidents.
