India makes six airbags mandatory for cars from October next year, following Cyrus Mistry's death in road mishap

Following a debate about the need for more airbags to protect people during road mishaps triggered by industrialist Cyrus Mistry’s death, the Indian government has made six airbags in passenger cars mandatory. So far only high-end cars come with six airbags, while 90 per cent of vehicles on Indian roads do not have that feature, leaving a large number of people vulnerable.
