Centre opens radio spectrum to accelerate deployment of vehicle collision-avoidance systems

India has removed licensing for crucial radio spectrum bands, specifically 77-81 GHz for automotive radar and 5.9 GHz for V2X communications. This move aims to accelerate the adoption of advanced road safety and collision-avoidance systems, aligning India with global standards and potentially reducing vehicle manufacturing costs. The initiative is expected to significantly enhance vehicle safety and reduce road fatalities.
