India Enacts Stricter Recall Policy for Unsafe Vehicles

The Ministry of Heavy Industries announced policies to enhance vehicle safety compliance, requiring manufacturers to test prototypes for compliance with Central Motor Vehicles Rules. The government empowers authorities to recall vehicles under Section 110A of the Motor Vehicles Act, reacting to defect statistics, which have seen a recall of over 1.5 million vehicles since 2022. Various causes, from over-speeding to non-use of safety devices, remain primary factors in road accidents, prompting annual reports on the issue.
