Maruti Suzuki to Set Up 12 Automated Driving Test Tracks in Telangana

Maruti Suzuki has signed a memorandum of agreement with the Telangana transport department to establish 12 automated driving licence test tracks at six locations across the state. The initiative is intended to support computerised and rule-based assessments for applicants seeking driving licences.

The tracks will be established at Ibrahimpatnam and Kondapur in Ranga Reddy district; Uppal, Medchal and Nagole in Medchal district; and Karimnagar. The company said the facilities would be distributed across the identified locations in coordination with the state transport department.

Each testing track will use high-definition cameras, radio-frequency identification (RFID) sensors, real-time analytics and an integrated information technology (IT) system. These systems will enable fully computerised testing and are designed to ensure that assessments comply with the Central Motor Vehicle Rules.

Maruti Suzuki is developing the facilities under its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative. With the Telangana project, the automaker will have established more than 98 automated driving test tracks across nine states and two Union territories in India.

The company has also established eight Institutes of Driving and Traffic Research and 19 Road Safety Knowledge Centres in partnership with various state governments. These institutions are intended to provide drivers with essential knowledge and practical skills related to driving and road safety.

The expansion of automated testing infrastructure is part of broader efforts to standardise licence assessments and reduce the scope for inconsistent evaluations. The company said its facilities combine digital monitoring and rule-based procedures to support more structured testing, while its training and road-safety centres address driver education and awareness.
