Speed Locked – India’s Deadline for Governors on Buses & Trucks Hits the Highway
India’s final call for AIS-018 speed governor enforcement hits July 31. Learn how it affects buses, trucks, safety, and travel.
🪄 SpotGenie's Opening Whisper
Fasten your seatbelts, India – not for a speed rush, but for a national slowdown. On purpose. Because July 31, 2025, wasn’t just another date on the calendar – it’s the deadline for every inter-city bus and goods vehicle to obey one civic commandment: Thou shalt not over-speed.
🚨 The Headline Story
The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) has drawn a hard line: All commercial transport vehicles – school buses, passenger coaches, freight trucks – must comply with AIS-018 speed governors by July 31, 2025.
Speed limits are set:
- 80 km/h for buses
- 60 km/h for school vehicles
RTOs across India are on alert. Enforcement will use surprise checks, GPS logs, and road sensors.
👥 What It Means for You
- For passengers: Safer highways, fewer rollovers
- For logistics: Tighter ETAs, insurance benefits
- For operators: Non-compliance means ₹10k–₹50k fines + impoundment
🧠 The Deeper Jam
India loses over 1.5 lakh lives annually to road accidents. A large portion is due to overspeeding.
The AIS-018 rule, drafted in 2016, is now being enforced as part of India’s UN Decade of Road Safety commitment.
