New Safety Rules for Two-Wheelers: ABS, Two Helmets Compulsory from 2026

New Safety Rules for Two-Wheelers: ABS, Two Helmets Compulsory from 2026

All new two-wheelers sold in India, including scooters and motorcycles, will be required to have Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) installed, regardless of engine size, starting January 1, 2026. According to a media report, The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways announced this new safety rule as part of its broader effort to reduce road accidents and fatalities.

At present, ABS is only required for two-wheelers with engine capacities above 125cc. This means nearly 40% of two-wheelers on Indian roads do not have this important safety feature. ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) works by preventing the wheels from locking up during sudden or hard braking, helping the rider maintain control and reducing the risk of skidding or crashing. Studies show that ABS can lower the chances of a crash by 35% to 45%.

In addition to ABS, the government will also make it compulsory to provide two BIS-certified helmets at the time of purchase of every new two-wheeler. Currently, only one helmet is required. This step aims to improve safety for the rider and passenger.

These changes are being introduced to improve road safety, especially for two-wheeler users who account for nearly 44% of all road deaths in India. Many of these fatalities are caused by head injuries due to not wearing helmets.

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is expected to issue official notifications soon. Once implemented, these new rules could help make roads safer for millions of two-wheeler riders across the country.
