ARAI Approval
Fast-Track Your ARAI Certification with Induce India’s Expert Support
The Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) is a premier testing and certification agency authorized by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) to issue Type Approval under the Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR). If you're a manufacturer, importer, or startup introducing vehicles or components in the Indian market, ARAI approval is mandatory for regulatory compliance.
At Induce India, we provide end-to-end assistance for ARAI certification, helping you meet Indian automotive standards efficiently and with confidence.
What is ARAI Approval?
ARAI certification confirms that your vehicle or automotive component meets Indian technical, safety, and environmental regulations. The Type Approval Certificate issued by ARAI is essential for product registration, market entry, and commercial sale in India.
Products that require ARAI Approval include:
- Two-Wheelers, Three-Wheelers, and Four-Wheelers
- Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Batteries
- CNG/LPG Kits and Components
- Automotive Spare Parts (mirrors, lights, brake systems, tires, etc.)
- Bus body structures and vehicle retrofits
Why is ARAI Approval Mandatory?
ARAI ensures that automotive products adhere to CMVR, AIS, and BIS standards, covering:
- Safety regulations
- Emission and environmental standards
- Structural durability and crash tests
- Performance and endurance criteria
- Noise and vibration levels
Without ARAI approval, a product cannot be registered or legally sold in India.
