The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The government has proposed a dedicated regulatory framework for two-wheeled road ambulances through a draft notification amending the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
- These vehicles are currently unregulated, with no national standards for construction, patient-handling, safety or registration.
- The framework aims to improve emergency medical response in rural, remote and hilly areas where conventional ambulances face access constraints.
- New rules, including compliance with the prescribed standard and emergency warning light specifications, would apply to such ambulances manufactured on or after October 1, 2027.
What to watch next
- Finalisation of the draft notification amending the Central Motor Vehicles Rules
