The Union government of India has decided to defer the implementation of the six-airbag safety rule for passenger cars in India until October next year. This was announced by Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari today. The rule will be implemented from October 1, 2023.

The government had earlier planned to make six airbags mandatory in all eight-seater vehicles for enhanced safety from October 1, 2022.

“Considering the global supply chain constraints being faced by the auto industry and its impact on the macroeconomic scenario, it has been decided to implement the proposal mandating a minimum of 6 Airbags in Passenger Cars (M-1 Category) w.e.f 01st October 2023,” Mr Gadkari tweeted today.
