Roadzen sees benefits from India’s new road safety regulations

Roadzen (RDZN) announced it is positioned to benefit from the recent draft regulations issued by India’s Ministry of Road Transport and Highways on March 20, 2025. The regulations, expected to be adopted within the next 30 days, mandate the installation of Driver Drowsiness and Attention Warning Systems under AIS 184, along with other critical road safety features. Roadzen’s DrivebuddyAI is the first and only system validated by the testing authority to meet the AIS 184 standard. The new regulations require Driver Drowsiness and Attention Warning Systems, Blind Spot Information Systems, and Moving Off Information Systems for both passenger and goods-carrying commercial vehicles in the country. These rules apply to new vehicle models under categories N2, N3, M2, and M3 starting April 1, 2026, and existing models beginning October 1, 2026, covering an estimated 500,000+ new vehicles produced annually and 500,000 vehicles to be retrofitted-a market estimated at $200M in annual revenues, with Roadzen’s DrivebuddyAI as the sole compliant solution at this stage.
