Govt. Proposes New Norms For Tyres To Improve Fuel Efficiency & Better Braking In Wet Conditions

[Nairrk]

The Government of India recently issued a notification proposing new mandatory norms for tyres. The new norms will require tyres sold in India to meet a certain benchmark for rolling resistance, wet grip, and rolling sound emission. Similar norms are already in place in markets like Europe since 2016 and aimed to improve the performance and safety aspects of the tyre for customers. Both domestic tyre manufacturers and importers for cars, buses, and heavy vehicles will have to comply with the proposed mandatory norms.

Good move. We are at lest catching up, if not leading. We need to watch and see if domestic manufacturers import the technology required or do their own R&D.

Bridgestone ones are always noisy ones, I think they need to work on it.

Interesting move by the government for the betterment. This would be burden to the tyre manufactures but its going to be good for the customers.

Yes, many noisy ones from domestic manufacturers. We do not get better products unless the authorities keep raising the bar. Part of the funny noise sometimes is because of the roads too.
