India Mandates Artificial Sound for Electric Cars from October for Pedestrian Safety
Starting in October, all electric four-wheelers in India will be required to emit artificial sounds at speeds of 0-20 km/h to improve pedestrian safety, as announced by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI). Additionally, ARAI is working on pollution-emissions inventories for Delhi and the Bharat New Car Assessment Programme, set for implementation by 2027, while also developing advanced testing facilities for vehicle sensors. The 19th Symposium on International Automotive Technology will occur in January, attracting over 3,000 automotive experts.

Starting in October, all electric four-wheelers in India must produce artificial sound at speeds of 0-20 km/h to enhance pedestrian safety, as stated by Reji Mathai of the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI). Discussions are ongoing regarding similar systems for two- and three-wheelers.
ARAI is also involved in developing a pollution-emissions inventory for Delhi and contributing to the Bharat New Car Assessment Programme, expected to be implemented by 2027. The upcoming Bharat Stage VII (BS-VII) emission norms will focus on controlling non-exhaust emissions, without significant changes to tailpipe limits.
ARAI is developing advanced testing facilities for vehicle sensors and seeks funding for a high-pressure hydrogen cylinder testing facility requiring Rs 100 crore. The 19th Symposium on International Automotive Technology will take place in January, featuring over 285 speakers and expected attendance of 3,000 automotive experts.
