The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways proposed draft amendments to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, which were notified on October 16. The proposals include raising the qualifying threshold for the safe-driving tutorial assessment from 60 per cent to 75 per cent, and increasing the tutorial completion time from seven days to 15 days. The draft also suggests separate colour-coded licence formats for Indian and foreign nationals, along with fee waivers for select online services.
