According to a Ministry of Road Transport and Highways circular, 
owners of public service vehicles are required to get GPS (Global 
Positioning System) installed in their vehicles by by February 20, 2014 
failing which necessary action as deemed fit shall be taken against the 
defaulters

In January, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs had approved a 
Rs 1,405-crore project to track and monitor public transport and provide
 alarm buttons for alerting authorities. The project also involves setting up
 of closed circuit television (CCTVs) and using GPS to ensure safety and
 security of women and girls in distress.<br />

<br />

This project is part of the the Nirbhaya Fund for women safety. It 
will be implemented within two years after allocation of funds to set up
 a National Level Vehicle Security and Tracking System and City Command 
and Control Centre with installation of GPS, CCTV in public road 
transport. The policy was formulated in the wake of gang-rape of a 
23-year old paramedic in a moving bus, on December 16, 2012. This victim
 died in a Singapore hospital on December 29.</div>
