💨 Abstract

The Indian Ministry of Road Transport and Highways plans to implement safety assessment ratings for trucks and heavy commercial vehicles, similar to the Bharat NCAP (New Car Assessment Programme). The aim is to encourage manufacturers to improve vehicle safety. Additionally, the government is working on safety standards for electric rickshaws, reducing logistics costs, and determining working hours for truck drivers. These initiatives aim to improve road safety, expand safe highways, and bolster electric vehicles in India.
