India Mandates AVAS for EVs to Enhance Road Safety

India is making electric cars and other electric vehicles safer.

They will have a special sound system called AVAS.

This system makes a sound when the vehicle is moving slowly, like in a parking lot, to help people know the car is there.

This is because electric vehicles are very quiet.

The new rule starts in October 2026 for new vehicles and October 2027 for existing ones.

The goal is to prevent accidents, especially at low speeds.
