Centre proposes phased rollout of V2V communication systems in vehicles from 2027The Centre proposed phased implementation of Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication systems in motor vehicles, requiring V2V-equipped vehicles to meet AIS-230 standards from October 2027 and mandatory installation across major vehicle categories from October 2028 to improve road safetyBy IANS Published Date - 3 August 2026, 05:45 PMNew Delhi: In a move aimed at enhancing road safety and advancing connected mobility in India, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) on Monday proposed the phased implementation of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication systems in motor vehicles. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has issued a draft notification proposing amendments to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, for the phased implementation of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication systems in motor vehicles, the ministry added. Under the proposed framework, vehicles equipped with V2V communication systems and manufactured on or after October 1, 2027, will be required to comply with the Automotive Industry Standard AIS-230. V2V communication enables vehicles in close proximity to exchange real-time information such as speed, position, direction and acceleration. According to the ministry, V2V systems can provide information beyond the direct line of sight, offering capabilities that complement conventional safety systems and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
