Authorities in Mumbai have introduced various regulatory measures aimed at improving public safety and order. Initially, the city implemented campaigns to curb excessive horn usage to mitigate noise pollution and reduce driver stress and cognitive load.

Following these efforts, the Mumbai Police issued restrictive orders prohibiting unauthorized gatherings, public processions, the use of loudspeakers, and fireworks to maintain public peace. Concurrently, the Regional Transport Office intensified enforcement of High Security Registration Plate (HSRP) mandates, conducting inspections that resulted in significant fines for non-compliant vehicle owners.
