The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is planning various measures to make driving/riding conditions safer on Indian roads. One of the measure proposed by the ministry is to mandate the installation of anti-lock braking system (ABS) on all motorcycles and scooters in India. However, this move will be implied in a phased manner. Currently, the government plans to mandate the ABS system on higher capacity motorcycles and slowly and steadily expand this safety addition throughout all the segments of motorcycles.Speaking to ET Auto, a senior government official said, “We in India have adopted the European policy format for the automotive industry, though with a lag to allow the industry to gradually evolve and reach that level. Like the emission norms based on EU (European Union), we have a roadmap of safety for all class of vehicles. The ABS on two-wheelers is part of that plan to enhance the safety of vehicles in India and gradually adopt standards applicable in developed countries.”

Re: Government to make ABS mandatory on motorcycles and scooters in India
I remember reading mandatory FI by 2016 .
It is a welcomed move.
Make all bikes above premium segment (150cc hehehe, I don't know why it's called premium segment) necessary to sport a ABS By 2020 .
And all cars airbags by 2022 .

Though it's a very welcome move on paper, I really doubt on the implementation part.A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

Re: Government to make ABS mandatory on motorcycles and scooters in India
And abs cannot be implemented in older bike models right? Even if it can, it will cost huge amount right? Even if having disc brake. Correct me if i am wrong.Originally posted by HyperRetard View Post

Retro-fitting ABS, you mean?
I guess it can be done if it done by the manufacturer. Reliability would always be a doubt, though.Comment

Re: Government to make ABS mandatory on motorcycles and scooters in India
If cars with rear drum brakes can have ABS, why cant bikes? Is that due to lack of 'hydraulic operated' brakes of drum equipped bikes?

Because car brakes whether disk or drum, are hydraulic. Hydraulic unit or master cylinder can be retrofitted with abs. But bikes have manual drum brakes where the force of your fingers tugging at the brake lever actuates the brake. In this case your own hand cannot be fitted with abs, can it?Comment
