List of AIS (Automotive Industry Standards)

A guide to the Automotive Industry Standards governing vehicle design, safety, emissions, and compliance for homologation in India.

The Foundation of Vehicle Compliance

Automotive Industry Standards (AIS) are technical standards issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) under the Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR). These standards govern the design, construction, safety performance, and emissions of vehicles and their components. Adherence to applicable AIS is mandatory for any new vehicle model to be legally approved (homologated) and sold in India.

Key AIS Categories

Homologation Success

Our Approach to AIS Compliance

Early-Stage Compliance

We integrate AIS compliance checks from the initial design phase to prevent costly rework.

Design-for-Certification Mindset

Our engineering process is oriented towards meeting all necessary testing and certification criteria efficiently.

Agency Coordination

We maintain strong working relationships with approval agencies to stay updated on regulatory changes and streamline submissions.
