NHAI Signs MoU With Vehicle Aggregators To Strengthen Highway Safety

NHAI Signs MoU With Vehicle Aggregators To Strengthen Highway Safety New Delhi, Mar 11 (KNN) The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with several commercial vehicle aggregator platforms to enhance safety, efficiency and participative governance across the National Highway network through technology-driven solutions. The agreement was signed by Indian Highways Management Company Limited (IHMCL), a company promoted by NHAI, at the NHAI headquarters in New Delhi. Under the collaboration, the aggregator platforms will integrate the Rajmargyatra App to enable real-time dissemination of safety alerts to drivers. The alerts will include information on accident-prone stretches, road diversions, construction zones, stray cattle presence and adverse weather conditions. The platforms will also encourage voluntary registration on the app and share usage data and feedback with authorities. The initiative will promote participative governance through a driver-led reporting system that allows commercial drivers to report highway-related issues using geo-tagged inputs. Reports on problems such as potholes, damaged crash barriers, non-functional streetlights, faded road markings and unsafe roadside conditions will be integrated into the Rajmargyatra platform for centralised resolution. To strengthen emergency response mechanisms, the aggregator platforms will integrate a one-click “Call 1033” feature in their applications, providing direct access to the National Highway Helpline. Drivers who consent to share their geo-location will be able to receive faster assistance along with updates on ambulance dispatch and information about the nearest hospitals. As part of the initiative, the platforms will also disseminate national highway safety awareness content through in-app modules to promote responsible driving behaviour. The awareness campaigns will focus on discouraging over-speeding and wrong-side driving, maintaining lane discipline, avoiding unsafe stopping or reversing and encouraging timely use of the 1033 emergency helpline. The programme also introduces the ‘Vishisht Saarthi’ recognition initiative to acknowledge commercial drivers who demonstrate exemplary adherence to highway safety norms. Drivers identified by aggregator platforms will be honoured with certificates and digital badges to encourage responsible driving practices. Additionally, the platforms will facilitate structured feedback from drivers regarding toll plaza operations, including waiting times, charging accuracy and lane efficiency, as well as services at wayside amenities such as hygiene standards, pricing transparency and service quality. They will also support the reporting of FASTag-related issues, including incorrect toll deductions, delayed transaction updates, disputes and Know Your Vehicle-related concerns, enabling faster resolution through coordinated digital systems.

16 New Research Projects Approved Under Technical Textiles Mission

16 New Research Projects Approved Under Technical Textiles Mission New Delhi, Mar 11 (KNN) The government has approved 16 new research projects under the National Technical Textiles Mission (NTTM) aimed at promoting indigenous development of advanced technical textile products, including high-performance fibres, smart and functional textiles among others. In written reply to a question in Lok Sabha, Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh said that the approved projects are intended to strengthen research, innovation and domestic manufacturing capabilities in the technical textiles sector. Under Component-I of the NTTM, which focuses on fundamental research, the government is supporting the development of specialty fibres such as carbon fibre, aramid fibre, nylon fibre and Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). As part of this effort, a project for the indigenous development of intermediate modulus grade carbon fibre has been approved for the CSIR-National Aerospace Laboratories. The mission also includes a dedicated initiative titled “Grant for Research and Entrepreneurship across Aspiring Innovators in Technical Textiles (GREAT)” to promote innovation and support startups in the sector. The programme aims to assist young innovators, scientists, technologists and startup ventures in translating research ideas into commercially viable products and technologies. Under the GREAT scheme, financial assistance of up to Rs 50 lakh is provided to each approved startup. So far, 31 startups have been supported under the mission with a total funding of Rs 15.40 crore. The Ministry of Textiles is also promoting the mandatory use of indigenous geotextiles in infrastructure development, particularly in road construction in hilly and challenging terrains. This initiative is being implemented in coordination with other ministries, including the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and the Ministry of Jal Shakti, which have issued guidelines encouraging the use of geosynthetic materials such as geocells, geocomposites and geogrids in highway construction and maintenance. According to data from the Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCIS), India’s exports of technical textiles during the current financial year up to December 2025 stood at Rs 21,970 crore, compared to imports of Rs 18,953 crore, resulting in a trade surplus of Rs 3,017 crore. Over the past three financial years, exports of technical textiles have shown steady growth. Exports increased from Rs 23,050 crore in 2022–23 to Rs 24,724 crore in 2023–24 and further to Rs 28,392 crore in 2024–25.
