India Mandates ABS for Two-Wheelers, Raising Costs for Makers

Imagine bikes have special brakes called ABS that stop the wheels from locking up, helping riders avoid crashes.

The government wants all bikes to have these brakes by 2026.

This means cheaper bikes will get more expensive, costing about 5000 rupees more.

Companies are talking to the government because adding these brakes might be hard to do for all the bikes that are made.

The manufacturers also say that the ABS unit capacity is not very high and may cause challenges in implementation.
