Govt clears way for self-driving, safety car tech
Financial Express Bengaluru
|June 13, 2026
INDIA HAS SCRAPPED licensing requirements for radio spectrum used by crash-avoidance and self-driving systems in cars, removing a commercial barrier for automakers as it seeks to make its roads safer.
India, the world’s third largest car market, reported more than 177,000 deaths in nearly half million road accidents in 2024, latest government data show.
In notices on Thursday, the government waived licence requirements for radar sensors in the 77GHz to 81 GHz frequency band, allowing companies to use the spectrum without separate allocation by authorities.
