Rosmerta to establish 21 automated testing stations in five years
Industry News- Jan 25,25
India’s vehicular population has grown significantly, reaching 354 million by 2022, according to MoRTH.
Rosmerta Technologies, a leader in mobility solutions, has secured a tender worth Rs 4 billion to set up 21 automated testing stations (ATS) across Maharashtra, solidifying its position as a pioneer in road safety innovations. This landmark project aligns with the Government of India’s commitment to ensuring road safety through technology-driven solutions. The tender entails that these stations will come up in the state over the next five years.
India’s vehicular population has grown significantly, reaching 354 million by 2022, according to MoRTH. In 2023-24 alone, 28.4 million vehicles were produced, contributing 6.8% to India’s GDP and 40% to manufacturing GDP. Despite this growth, India also reports 150,000–160,000 annual road fatalities, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced vehicular safety measures. In response, the government introduced Chapter XI in the Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR) to mandate the establishment of ATS nationwide, requiring significant investments to standardize and automate roadworthiness testing.
Rosmerta’s scope of work under this tender includes constructing and operating the ATS centres to provide efficient, reliable, and automated testing for public service vehicles. This builds upon Rosmerta's successful implementation and ongoing operation of 10 pilot I&C centres initiated by MoRTH. Rosmerta also executed three centres in Karnataka and has tested over half a million vehicles nationwide. The Maharashtra project represents a significant step forward, with plans to operationalise all 21 centres within a year under the supervision of the State Transport Department.
Kartick Nagpal, President, Rosmerta Technologies, commented, "At Rosmerta, we view safety as the foundation of sustainable mobility. Winning this tender is a significant step toward realising our vision of a safer transportation network across India. By leveraging cutting-edge technology in Automated Testing Stations, we aim to provide vehicle owners and operators with the assurance of compliance, while helping the nation tackle the pressing challenge of road safety with greater efficiency and accountability."
This initiative highlights the necessity of government-led financial assistance, akin to the PLI scheme, to expedite the nationwide rollout of ATS infrastructure. It also underscores the importance of a standardised model across states to ensure the authenticity and reliability of testing processes, preventing fraudulent practices seen in some manual systems.
As Maharashtra leads the way with an organised approach to ATS deployment, Rosmerta continues to champion technology-driven solutions for safer, smarter roads. This project is a testament to the company’s enduring partnership with the government and its unwavering focus on building a sustainable and secure future for India’s transportation sector.
