AIS 190
India's vehicle-level cybersecurity and software-update standard, designed to interoperate with UNECE R155 / R156. Build once for global, extend cleanly into India.
WHAT IS AIS 190?
AIS 190 is India's standard for vehicle-level cybersecurity assessment and software-update governance — India-ready, globally aligned with UNECE R155 and R156.
CONTEXT
AIS 190 defines vehicle-level cybersecurity and software-update assessment for Type Approval in India. It is designed to interoperate with UNECE R155 / R156 evidence, so programmes built for global Type Approval extend into Indian readiness without rebuilding the underlying engineering chain.
WHAT ENGINEERING TEAMS PRODUCE
Outputs that go into the evidence chain
- 01
Vehicle-level TARA outputs and risk-treatment decisions for the Vehicle Type
- 02
Cybersecurity Case evidence structured for the Indian assessment authority
- 03
Software-update governance evidence — authorisation, dependency analysis, RxSWIN equivalents
- 04
Evidence that cybersecurity is engineered across the vehicle, not retrofitted
- 05
Supplier-side cybersecurity evidence via Interface Agreements
- 06
Post-production vulnerability response evidence
WHERE TEAMS STRUGGLE
Friction points that show up at audit time
AIS 190 interpretations and assessment cadence are still settling in India
Programmes built primarily for India struggle to extend into UNECE markets without reworking evidence
Programmes built primarily for UNECE markets struggle to translate evidence into Indian assessment language
Supplier evidence across Indian and global tiers diverges in format and depth
HOW AGNILE AND KAVACH HELP
Engineering evidence prepared for review
We support evidence preparation, structure work products, and help engineering teams ready themselves for assessment discussions. Final review and approval rest with the relevant authority.
KAVACH produces one engineering evidence chain mapped to ISO/SAE 21434, UNECE R155 / R156, and AIS 190 readiness language
Architecture-aware TARA aligned with Clause 15 — supports the vehicle-level threat coverage AIS 190 expects
Software-update evidence linked to cybersecurity evidence — supports R156 and AIS 190 alignment
Agnile services support AIS readiness sprints, gap reviews, and pre-assessment preparation
