TL;DR
MoRTH proposes phased automotive cybersecurity norms, requiring all OTA-enabled vehicles to comply by 2029 to boost vehicle security.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) is proposing a phased implementation of automotive cybersecurity norms, mandating that all over-the-air (OTA) enabled vehicles comply with these regulations by 2029. This move aims to enhance the security of modern vehicles increasingly reliant on electronic control units (ECUs) and connected technologies.
The proposal outlines that vehicles equipped with at least one ECU and compliant with AIS-189 standards will need to integrate cybersecurity and software update management systems. This regulation underscores the growing importance of vehicle data security and aims to protect against potential cyber threats in the rapidly evolving automotive landscape.
