History

India’s road-safety framework began with the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988, which was overhauled by the 2017 amendment and the 2019 Act that raised penalties for reckless driving. The 2000-era Bharat-stage emission rules and the 2014 Road Transport and Safety Bill also pushed stricter licensing. Under current law a driver caught sleeping faces a INR5,000 fine and up to three years’ jail.
