India road safety and automotive standard reforms

Overview

India is planning significant reforms to its road safety and automotive standards. Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari announced the development of a graded points system for driving licences. Under this proposed framework, traffic violations would result in point deductions that could lead to licence suspension, while responsible driving could earn incentives.

In addition to driver regulation, the government is set to implement Bharat NCAP 2.0 in October 2027. This upgraded vehicle safety assessment programme will move beyond traditional crash tests to evaluate safety across three stages: proactive accident prevention through advanced technology, passenger and pedestrian protection during collisions, and the ease of exiting a vehicle to receive medical assistance. These measures aim to address high accident and fatality rates in the country.
