40% of Indian vehicles uninsured; 60% have third-party coverage, Supreme Court case reveals.

40% of vehicles in India are uninsured, according to Central Government data disclosed in a Supreme Court case. Only 60% of vehicles have third-party insurance coverage, leaving many accident victims unable to claim insurance payouts and forced to pursue compensation through legal means. Advocate KC Jain has called for electronic enforcement using e-challans and e-cameras to improve compliance with insurance requirements.
