India Proposes Phased Rollout of Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Technology by 2028
India's Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has proposed a phased rollout of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication systems to enhance road safety. Starting October 2027, vehicles equipped with V2V must comply with the AIS-230 standard, and from October 2028, all new vehicles in categories L, M, and N must be fitted with this technology. V2V enables real-time exchange of data like speed and position, providing early warnings for hazards beyond drivers' direct view, complementing existing safety systems and supporting connected mobility.
