Consumers Prefer Automated Vehicle Testing, Government Promotes
Imagine cars going through special checkups.
Instead of regular checks at the transport office, more people are choosing automated centers.
These centers use machines to check things like emissions and brakes.
The government likes this because it helps get rid of old, polluting cars.
In 2025, many more tests were done at these automated centers compared to 2024.
These tests help identify if a vehicle has reached the end of its life.
The government also encourages people to use cleaner cars.
This means cleaner air and less pollution for everyone.
Consumers show increasing preference for automated vehicle testing over RTO testing.
In 2025, 1 in 4 vehicle testing appointments was at automated testing centers.
Automated testing centers, introduced in 2021, conducted nearly 50,000 fitness tests in 2023.
Over 1.27 million fitness tests were conducted at automated testing centers in 2025.
The automotive testing market in India is projected to grow with a CAGR of 6.32%.
