Homologation is the process of certifying that a particular car is roadworthy and matches certain specified criteria laid out by the government for all vehicles made or imported into that country. It is an acceptable practice worldwide. In India , this clearance is given by the Pune-based Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) or the Vehicle Research and Development Establishment (VRDE), Ahmednagar and by the Central Farm Machinery Training and Testing Institute, Budni, Madhya Pradesh for tractors. Essentially, the tests ensure that the vehicle matches the requirements of the Indian market in terms of emission and safety and road-worthiness as per the Central Motor Vehicle Rules.
