India is likely to postpone the mandatory fitment of Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) for two-wheelers up to 125cc, originally planned for January 1, 2026. Manufacturers have raised concerns with the Road Transport Ministry about ABS effectiveness in lower-cc bikes and potential price hikes. The industry has been asked to consult the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), suggesting a delayed implementation beyond 2026 or a possible cancellation of the mandate.
