Govt issues draft notification for fuel-efficient, safer tyres in India

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has issued draft rules which state that the tyres of cars, buses, and trucks should meet the needs of wet grip and rolling sound emissions.

It announced this policy for new model tyres from October 1, 2021, and for the existing models from October 1, 2022.

MoRTH said in a series of tweets that it issued a draft announcing that the tyres of cars, buses, and trucks should meet the requirements, as specified in Stage-II of the Automotive Industry Standards (AIS) 142:2019, amended from time to time.

As per the ministry, the rolling resistance of tyres influences fuel efficiency, while the braking performance is related to the wet grip of the tyres under slippery conditions.

MoRTH added that the rolling sound emission is related to the sound transmitted from the connection among the tyres in movement and the road surface.

The ministry told the media that the standard should align the tyre performance about their sound emissions, rolling resistance and adhesion performance on wet surfaces with the Stage-II limits of European regulations. It will even allow the user to make an informed choice.

MoRTH further added that these norms are similar to the regime in Europe, issued in 2016. The objections and recommendations to these draft rules may be sent to the government.
