Maruti Suzuki Signs Andhra Pradesh MoA to Set Up 4 Automated Driving Test Tracks

Maruti Suzuki India Limited has signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Transport Department of Andhra Pradesh to establish and maintain 4 Automated Driving Test Tracks (ADTTs) across the state under its CSR initiative, strengthening technology-led and standardised driving licence testing. 

Key Development 

The automated tracks will be developed at four Regional Transport Office locations: Eluru, Ongole, Vizianagaram and Anakapalli. Under the agreement, the company will automate and maintain these facilities for three years from their commissioning date. 

These ADTTs will use high-definition cameras, RFID sensors, real-time analytics and an integrated IT platform to conduct technology-driven driving assessments.  

The system is designed to run with zero human intervention, ensuring uniform, objective and transparent licence testing aligned with Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR). Test outcomes will be generated automatically through the platform. 

The tracks will support Light Motor Vehicle (LMV) and Two-Wheeler (TW) licence applicants at all four centres, while the Ongole facility will additionally handle Heavy Motor Vehicle (HMV) licence tests. 

Statements And Implementation Scope 

As per news reports, Mr. Hisashi Takeuchi, MD & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited said, “During my meeting with Hon’ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Shri Chandrababu Naidu, I was impressed by his love for technology.  

Aligned with his vision for technology-led solutions, we are honoured to bring 4 Automated Driving Test Tracks (ADTTs) to the state of Andhra Pradesh.” 

Transport Commissioner Shri Manish Kumar Sinha said the company will support system integration with the SARATHI platform, personnel training and routine maintenance for three years, while the state department will provide civil infrastructure, security, electricity and operational support for testing and licence issuance. 

Impact And Existing Road Safety Footprint 

With these additions, Maruti Suzuki’s automated driving test network will expand further nationwide.  

The company has already automated 46 such tracks across multiple states and signed earlier agreements to add more centres in Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu. Including Andhra Pradesh, the total planned footprint will reach 81 ADTTs. 

Alongside automated testing, the company also runs driving and traffic research institutes, road safety knowledge centres, traffic monitoring system projects and first responder training programmes as part of its broader road safety framework.
