New Delhi:

The federal government won’t make six airbags necessary for vehicles, Union Street Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari stated on Wednesday. The federal government final 12 months proposed to implement the six airbags security norm from October 2023 for enhanced security of occupants.

Final 12 months, the Ministry of Street Transport and Highways (MoRTH) in a press release stated that to be able to improve the security of occupants of a motorcar, it has been determined to boost security options by amending the Central Motors Automobiles Guidelines (CMVR), 1989.
