THE MINISTER OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS
(SHRI NITIN JAIRAM GADKARI)
(a) to (d) The Government accords high priority to road safety in the country. To reduce fatalities
due to road accidents and enhance road safety, the Government through Ministry of
Communications has earmarked 50 MHz in the frequency range of 5875-5925 MHz in the
National Frequency Allocation Plan (NFAP-2025) for Intelligent Transport System (V2X) use.
V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) Communication system enables vehicles to broadcast their status data
(such as position, speed, etc.) with surrounding vehicles to provide a level of situational
awareness that exceeds human vision or traditional sensors like cameras, radar, etc. specially at
the intersections or blind spots.
