On June 11, 2026, the Indian Ministry of Telecommunications (DoT) issued regulations for vehicle-mounted radar systems operating in the 77–81 GHz band. When such systems are installed on vehicles for radio positioning purposes, licensing procedures are exempted. Provided technical limitations are met, these systems can be used, sold, or leased without separate licenses. This regulation sets limits on power, transmit bandwidth, and stray emissions. Unless the same model has already been approved for the same model, the device model approval must be applied for through the Ministry of Telecommunications (DoT) portal. The system must comply with applicable Indian standards or relevant international standards. If interference occurs, users may be required to reduce power, adjust equipment position, or take other corrective actions.
