New Delhi: The Center is trying to tighten the safety standards for two -wheeled, the most widely used Indian and accidents of transport. After reporting anti-lock brake systems (ABS) and certified helmets, the rules are now considering all new two-wheel warning warnings and hands-off horseback riding detection.
The changes that are currently in consultation reflect a wider effort to reduce the alarming number of road accident deaths, almost half of which include two wheel riders.
According to two people who were aware of the development, the Ministry of Road Transport and the Morth Motorway (Morth) is considering a change in the central rules of motor vehicles (CMVR), which will make warning systems for high-speed and hands-off horseback riding for all two wheels.
Fresh measures
Last month, the government was ordered ABS for all two rounds and business representation to provide helmets with two Indian standards (BIS) with each vehicle sale.
Related test criteria for these new features are likely to lead to the limit of vehicle prices, which will be set up with the recently authorized ABS next year.
The aim of these measures is to stop the growing number of deaths in traffic accidents in the largest two -wheel market in the world. “Consultations with an industry on functions to be added to two-wheelers are taking place to increase safety. There are some measures such as warning against the helmet and a warning warning system.
Safety layer
The plan to add another safety layer assumes meaning, given that the number of two -wheel registrations in the country is growing. In FY25, about 18.9 million two laps were registered in India, which, according to data from the Vahan portal from the previous year, by approximately 7.8% more than 17.5 million.
In 2022 there were more than 170,000 Indian road death deaths, with more than 45% of the victims are two -wheel drivers, according to the latest random deaths and suicides in India reports of the National Office for Crime Records (NCRB).
The data showed that more than 446,000 traffic accidents occurred in the country in 2022 and more than 100,000 deaths were reported due to excessive speed.
The second person who was aware of the development said that the consultation of the parties involved is taking place regarding security measures that could be enforced for two -wheel riders after the ABS mandate was announced. “The amendment TocMVR may probably be 1-2 months after these consultations concluded,” the person said without issuing no time axis because the plan is still in the early stage.
An e -mail question sent to the Ministry of Road Transport and Motorways remained unanswered.
Section 126 cmVR determines the manufacturer’s process to submit prototypes of vehicles for testing and compliance with wider central motor vehicles as well as other rules.
Price for payment
“Any other testing or security requirements are likely to increase prices,” said Ashim Sharma, head of partner and business units, Nomura Research Institute (NRI) and consultancy.
“If the manufacturer has to add any new function to its vehicles, it must bear material and development costs. This is generally handed over to the consumer,” Sharma added.
If they were implemented, new standards would bring additional cost loads for the buyer. ABS government mandate for two wheels to pay from 1 January 2026 can lead to price increase £3 000-5 000 per vehicle, according to analyst remark from Kotak institutional shares of 20 June.
About 84% of the Indian two -wheeled market will increase prices in 2026, after the ABS mandate begins, the analyst said. “About 76% of the segment of motorcycles and about 100% scooters and moped segments will be affected,” said Rishi vora from institutional shares of Kotak.
Questions sent by Hero Motocorp Ltd, Bajaj Auto Ltd, Ola Electric Mobility LTD, TVS Motor Co. LTD remained unanswered.
The ABS safety function provides two -wheel riders more control by preventing the wheels from locking during sudden braking, especially on slippery roads.
With me
- New safety rules for two-round ox will include exaggerated warning and detection of hands-off horseback riding. The aim of these measures is to drastically reduce death from an accident in India. The new security features will increase the prices of two wheels and increase the existing mandate costs ABS. The government consults the stakeholders of the industry before the completion of changes in the central rules of motor vehicles. More than 45% of road accident deaths in India include two wheel riders, emphasizing the need for safety.
