AIS140 GPS Tracking Device is Mandatory in Uttar Pradesh RTO for National Permit Vehicles
Running long-route trucks, trailers or tankers from Uttar Pradesh? Then one rule you simply cannot ignore is the AIS140 GPS tracking mandate.
UP Transport Department now expects many National Permit (NP) commercial vehicles to be fitted with a certified AIS-140 GPS device and to report data to the state’s Vehicle Location Tracking System – UP VLTS (vlts.up.gov.in). Compliance is also cross-checked through the Vahan portal (vahan.parivahan.gov.in).
In short: if your NP vehicle is registered in UP, AIS140 GPS is not a luxury, it’s compulsory.
What Exactly Is AIS-140 and Why Has UP RTO Made It Compulsory?
AIS-140 is a government standard that defines how a transport vehicle should be tracked and monitored for safety. It lays down requirements such as:
- Use of IRNSS / GPS based tracking
- Support for Panic / SOS buttons inside the vehicle
- Reliable communication with state control rooms
- Storage of data when the network is not available
Uttar Pradesh has implemented this via UP VLTS, a central platform where data from thousands of AIS140 devices comes in real time. This helps the state:
- Keep an eye on over-speeding and route deviation
- Respond faster in breakdown or emergency cases
- Improve safety for drivers, passengers and cargo
- Verify that NP vehicles are legally compliant
How UP VLTS and Vahan Work with AIS140 GPS
Once an AIS-140 device from an authorised provider like GeoSafe is installed in your vehicle:
- The device sends frequent location & status updates to UP VLTS (vlts.up.gov.in).
- Your vehicle information can be matched with Vahan (vahan.parivahan.gov.in) using the registration number.
- During fitness or permit processing, officials can quickly see whether the vehicle has a working GPS device and is reporting correctly.
For you as a fleet owner, the same device and platform also become a strong operational tool, not just a compliance tick box.

FAQs – AIS140 GPS in Uttar Pradesh
