Airbag Safety Features: 90 percent of the cars in the country do not have the facility of 6 airbags, see what are the reasons

Airbag Feature Cars in India : Out of the lakhs of vehicles plying on Indian roads, only a select few are getting 6 airbags. Let us tell you that less than 10 percent of the cars in the country have the facility of 6 airbag features. The remaining 90 percent of the vehicles do not have that many airbags. It is known that this most important safety feature comes only in expensive vehicles.

Cheaper variants more in demand

The auto industry says that most buyers in the country ask for cheaper variants even in the models that come with the option of more airbags. Therefore, the share of cars with more than 2 airbags in the country is low. The two-airbag feature is now being made standard in the cars sold in the country.

it hasn’t been like this before

Let us tell you that some companies were selling cars with only one airbag. Later the government has made it mandatory to have 2 airbags in the car. This has forced all the car companies to upgrade from January 2022 this year.

what are the rules

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways had proposed to make 6 airbags mandatory in all cars from October 2022. But it will be strictly enforced. A section of the auto industry is against this rule. At the same time, Minister Nitin Gadkari has told that work is still going on on this plan.

why are necessary

In the event of an accident while driving a car, the people sitting in the front seat are more at risk of life. In such a situation, to overcome the dangers of these accidents, the Union Road Transport Ministry is going to make airbags mandatory for the driver and the seat next to him.
