The Two-Wheeler Helmet Manufacturers Association and Steelbird Helmets has suggested that the government should the Goods and Service Tax #𝗚𝗦𝗧 𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝟭𝟴 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝟱 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁.

This move he says is essential, considering helmets as life-saving devices, to make them more economically accessible for the masses and thereby increase overall compliance with helmet usage.

Furthermore, he has asked that authorised institutions such as IITs, QCI, and NGOs should establish testing facilities for helmets. The current setup of testing laboratories for helmets in India is insufficient to meet the requirements of the helmet industry.

This strategic step is intended to streamline the testing process, ensuring that helmets adhere to necessary safety standards and are readily available in the market.
