The Ministry of Road Transport and Highway (MoRTH) today announced that it has initiated a transformational programme to implement various new international emission standards along with safety measures for transport vehicles. The ministry mentioned that the draft notification has been issued for the electronic stability control system (ESC) for buses, which is expected to come into force by April 2023.

This includes the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which is likely to come into effect by next month.
