Over 1,700 automotive dealers and workshops have chosen to work with their system so far. “We work closely with the Federation of Dealer Associations in India to engage with dealerships across the country. Orbitsys has been the DMS partner for India’s most prestigious Autocar Awards – created and hosted by India’s most trusted automobile publication, for over six years now,” informed Singh.

He added, “Orbitsys CRM-DMS stays ahead in the rapidly evolving automotive market by continuously innovating its service offerings to meet the changing needs of customers and the industry. We invest in research and development to develop cutting-edge solutions with mobile capabilities that help automotive businesses stay competitive. We actively collaborate with industry partners and engage with customers to understand their challenges and develop tailored solutions that address their specific needs.”

Commenting on long-term goals and vision in relation to the automotive sector, Singh said, “We intend to create a globally scaleable platform that will work across multiple markets. On the technology side, we are actively working on plans for block-chain integration. AI integration will be coming to specific modules on a small scale first and then become an integral part of the system. We will integrate closely with connected vehicle systems to bring the best vehicle ownership experience to customers.

MathWorks, a leading software tools company, recently concluded MATLAB EXPO 2026 today, hosting over 1,300 engineers, scientists and industry leaders to discuss the transition of generative AI, engineering copilots and agentic AI from experimental phases to production-scale deployment.

The event focused on the integration of AI-assisted design and simulation into Model-Based Design workflows across industries such as automotive, aerospace and semiconductors. Discussions highlighted the importance of maintaining engineering rigour, traceability and safety while utilising automated workflows.

At the event, MathWorks leaders Seth Deland and Avinash Nehemiah demonstrated how agentic AI capabilities in MATLAB and Simulink are accelerating simulation-led decision-making and system deployment.

Savyasachi Srinivas, VP at Collins Aerospace, detailed the use of AI-enabled knowledge systems and digital twins to move aerospace products from initial concept through to formal certification.

The event saw a panel discussion featuring representatives from Boeing, Mercedes-Benz R&D India, TCS, HSBC and the Indian Institute of Science addressing the critical need for human oversight and verification when validating AI-assisted outputs in real-world systems.

Also, the event saw technology demonstration including Raftar Formula Racing from IIT Madras, displayed their competition-winning race car designed using MathWorks tools.

India has officially commenced its transition to barrier-less tolling with the live deployment of Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) infrastructure at Manoharpur, Rajasthan and Hyderabad, Telangana.

The initiative is powered by Cron AI’s 3D perception platform, senseEDGE, which allows vehicles to pass through tolling points at highway speeds without stopping.

The deployment, a partnership between the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and Cron AI, uses LiDAR-based real-time detection to identify and classify vehicles. Unlike traditional toll plazas, the MLFF gantries capture vehicle dimensions and axle counts to determine toll classes while simultaneously using ANPR for number plate recognition and linking to FASTag RFID accounts.

The system currently handles 30,000 to 35,000 vehicles per day at the initial sites. It is designed specifically for Indian road conditions, the platform manages inconsistent lane discipline and ‘occlusion’ (overlapping traffic) with zero false classifications. The LiDAR technology remains accurate during poor visibility, glare, darkness and high-speed traffic.

Tushar Chhabra, Founder & CEO, Cron AI, said, “India is moving from tolling as a checkpoint to tolling as an invisible layer of national infrastructure. That shift requires the road itself to become intelligent. That is what senseEDGE is built to do, and what is now live on some of India’s busiest corridors.”

The move aligns with the Government of India’s mandate to transition over 1,100 toll plazas to MLFF systems. With the National Highway network expanding to 146,204 km as of March 2025 and FASTag penetration reaching 98 percent, the objective is to eliminate idling, reduce fuel consumption, and lower emissions at tolling points.
