There was a discussion going on for a long time that keeping in mind the safety of people, 6 airbags will soon be made mandatory in vehicles. But now Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has made a big announcement in this matter, Nitin Gadkari has made it clear that the government will not make 6 airbags mandatory in vehicles.
Recall that last year, keeping in mind the safety of people, the government had proposed to make 6 airbags mandatory from October 2023. Not only this, last year a statement was also issued by MoRTH i.e. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in which it was mentioned that in order to increase the safety of people in vehicles, the decision to increase the safety features under the Central Motor Vehicles Rules 1989 was taken. Has been taken.
What is the standard?
To reduce the damage caused to vehicle occupants due to road accidents, two airbags at the front of vehicles sold in the country were made mandatory from April 1, 2021. This means that it is mandatory for all cars to have standard 2 airbags.
Nitin Gadkari has given this information during a recently organized event. Nitin Gadkari said that people have now become aware, which is why now the 6 airbags rule will not be made mandatory.
Cost will increase if 4 airbags are provided
According to a Reuters report, last year the government had estimated that adding four more airbags would cost no more than $75 (approximately Rs 6,221) per vehicle. But on the other hand, auto market data provider JATO Dynamics says that doing so will increase the cost by at least $231 (approximately Rs 19,161).
