The standard will require automakers to ensure cybersecurity governance, risk assessment, monitoring, and secure updates across a vehicle\u2019s lifecycle.<\/span>
With the SDV (software defined vehicle) megatrend gaining traction, India is preparing to take security measures to enhance the security quotient of automobiles made in the country.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has issued a draft notification (dated June 22) proposing to mandate automotive cybersecurity and software update management requirements under AIS-189, marking a significant step towards strengthening cyber resilience in India’s connected vehicle ecosystem.<\/p>\n

The draft amendment to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, introduces two new provisions\u2014Rule 125-T covering Cyber Security and Cyber Security Management Systems (CSMS), and Rule 125-U covering Software Updates and Software Update Management Systems (SUMS).<\/p>\n

The regulations will apply across vehicle categories M (passenger vehicles), N (goods carriers), T (trailers). And, in the case of Software Updates and SUMS, also agricultural and construction machinery categories, in a phased manner.<\/p>\n

Under the proposal, vehicles equipped with at least one electronic control unit (ECU) and compliant with AIS-189 will be required to implement cybersecurity and software update management systems in line with the standard, with corresponding BIS specifications to be notified separately.<\/p>\n

The implementation roadmap begins with Level 3 and above automated vehicles, for which compliance will become mandatory from October 1, 2026 for new models and April 1, 2027 for existing models.<\/p>\n

The second phase covers OTA-enabled vehicles with OTA-capable ECUs, excluding infotainment systems and tracking devices. These vehicles will need to comply from April 1, 2028 for new models and October 1, 2028 for existing models.<\/p>\n

Aligning with global best practices<\/h3>\n
