🇮🇳 India Mandates AVAS for EVs

📅 Timeline
- Oct 1, 2026 → All new EV models (passenger & goods vehicles) must have AVAS.
- Oct 1, 2027 → Existing models in production must comply.

---

🔊 What is AVAS?
Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System generates artificial sound to warn pedestrians when EVs are too quiet.
- Works at 0–20 km/h and when reversing.
- Turns off at higher speeds (tyre/wind noise sufficient).
- Must follow AIS-173 standards (sound levels, audibility).

---

🚘 Coverage
✅ Passenger cars, buses, trucks (Categories M & N).
❌ Two-wheelers, three-wheelers, e-rickshaws (excluded for now, though they dominate India’s EV fleet).

---

🛡️ Why It Matters
- EVs are 20% more likely to hit pedestrians than petrol/diesel cars.
- Risk rises 50% at low speeds.
- AVAS can cut accidents by up to 20%.

---

🌍 Global Context
- Already mandatory in the US, EU, Japan.
- India aligns with global EV safety norms.

---

🏭 Industry Impact
- Some EVs already feature AVAS: MG Comet EV, Tata Curvv EV, Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE6.
- Rule will standardize safety across all eligible EVs.
- Phased rollout gives manufacturers time to adapt.

---

✨ Key Takeaways
- Mandatory from 2026 (new) & 2027 (existing).
- Applies to cars, buses, trucks; excludes 2- & 3-wheelers.
- Uses AIS-173 standards.
- Aims to boost pedestrian safety and match global practices.
