The Indian government is preparing to adopt new tyre specifications in the nation. This measure will also ensure that only authentic and safe tyres are supplied in India, and all cheap imports will gradually be phased out of the market. The revised tyre requirements will go into effect in October 2022.
The most vital component of a car is its tyres. No matter how well-engineered a vehicle is, if the tyres are out of shape, the vehicle will not function well. This applies to all market categories. Whether it’s a supercar or a truck, the tyres are the only point of contact with the road, thus they must be in good condition.
However, tyres are sometimes one of the most overlooked components of a car. Buyers often choose the cheapest tyre on the market only to keep the car running. The least expensive tyres are not the greatest selection for your vehicle. However, the Indian tyre market is highly unorganised and unregulated.
There are some excellent tyres for sale in India, but there are also some bad-quality tyres that are frequently imported from China and sold at ridiculously low costs, making them profitable. The Indian government appears to have taken note and is now planning to implement new tyre laws and standards.
These regulations will apply to passenger automobiles, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles. From April 2023, all tyres sold in the nation must meet wet grip and rolling resistance criteria. Rolling noise regulations will be enforced beginning in June 2023. Wet grip is the most essential of the three new standards characteristics. The majority of the Indian subcontinent experiences a lot of rain, however, the tyres in use aren’t extensively evaluated for wet grip. Separate tyre categories exist in established international markets to cater to the various seasons. In India, however, a single tyre is utilised in all situations.
While we will continue to use the same set of tyres throughout the year, it is apparent that the Indian market will gradually improve in terms of tyre quality. With the new norms, India will comply with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe’s laws.
To conclude, we can say that this is a significant milestone in the history of the Indian automobile industry. In recent years, new safety requirements for automobiles have been established, and automobiles in India have gotten safer. Better tyres are now on their way to round out the package.
