Safety should not be treated as luxury. Airbags must be mandatory for all type of cars lower segment, higher segment etc.

But safety is important right.

One of our manager and his family was saved by airbags during an accident without any injuries

Airbags provide added protection to seatbelts. For example, in higher-speed crashes, a seatbelt alone may not prevent a driver's head from hitting the steering column. The deployment of a airbag protects the head and upper body of the driver, and reduces some of the force exerted on the driver by the seatbelt.

Safety First: Govt makes dual airbags mandatory for all passenger cars in India​

In a bid to promote passenger safety in cars, the Indian government has announced the mandatory provision of dual airbags (front row) in all cars manufactured and sold in India.

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways made the announcement of the latest rule in a gazette notification. As per the rule, all the new passenger cars in India will have to come with dual front airbags as standard fitment. The rule will be applicable for all cars manufactured in the Indian market starting from April 1, 2021. At the same time, the deadline is August 31, 2021, for the existing vehicles.

• The new mandate will boost safety in entry-level Indian cars which currently don't feature dual airbags in the front row.
• The addition of a new airbag will also directly affect the pricing of lower-segment cars in India.
