Shri Jyotiraditya Scindiaiji,

 Project ROTE — How DoT's V2V Spectrum Allocation Could Become the Nervous System of India's Emission Reduction Mission

=====================

Shri Jyotiraditya Scindiaiji,

Namaskar.

I write to you with great admiration for your recent landmark decision to provisionally allocate 30 MHz of free spectrum for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication — a move that I believe is far more consequential than it may appear at first glance.

Allow me to explain why.

I am Hemen Parekh, a Mumbai-based citizen-thinker who has been proposing AI and satellite-driven transport reforms since 2018. In June 2025, I published:

📄 Project ROTE — Reduction of Transport Emissions

🔗 https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2025/06/project-rote-reduction-of-transport.html

ROTE proposes a real-time, satellite-assisted national system to:

• Track every vehicle on Indian roads via NaVIC

• Compute a HARM QUOTIENT per vehicle — based on speed, braking, idling, emissions, and route behaviour

• Assign a dynamic TRANS-SCORE to every registered vehicle

• Levy a behaviour-linked, emission-linked TRANS-TAX — automatically deducted via FASTag or UPI

Target: Cut PM2.5 and AQI levels in Indian cities by 50% within 2 years.

📡 WHY YOUR SPECTRUM DECISION IS THE NERVOUS SYSTEM OF ROTE

The V2V OBU that your Ministry is mandating for all new vehicles will, by design, continuously broadcast each vehicle's speed, location, braking, and direction to nearby vehicles.

This same data stream — with appropriate policy framing — becomes the real-time behavioural feed that ROTE's HARM QUOTIENT engine requires.

In other words, DoT's spectrum allocation does not merely enable road safety alerts. It lays the communication nervous system for an entirely new category of public policy: emission-linked, behaviour-based, automated mobility taxation.

Combined with:

• Grahaa Space nanosatellites (real-time aerial observation, AI analytics)

• NaVIC (precision positioning)

• AI toll cameras (as piloted at Dahisar Naka, Mumbai)

• FASTag + UPI (seamless Trans-Tax collection)

...your spectrum decision becomes the connective tissue of a complete Digital Mobility Stack for India.

🙏 MY HUMBLE REQUEST

I am aware that Shri Nitin Gadkariji, as Minister for Road Transport & Highways, is the natural convener of a multi-stakeholder deliberation on ROTE. I have separately written to him urging him to convene such a conclave.

However, given that DoT's V2V spectrum framework is the foundational communication layer of this entire architecture, I respectfully request that your Ministry:

1. Participate actively in any such multi-stakeholder conclave convened by MoRTH

2. Consider whether the OBU data standard being developed can include fields for emission and behaviour profiling — not just collision avoidance

3. Explore with IN-SPACe / ISRO whether Grahaa Space's nanosatellite cluster can be formally integrated as the aerial data layer of a national vehicle-tracking framework

India has the unique advantage of building this stack from scratch — with NaVIC, UPI, Aadhaar, FASTag, and now V2V spectrum all indigenously controlled. No other nation has this convergence.

ROTE is the proposal that connects these dots.

I would be honoured to present the full proposal to you or your team at your convenience.

With profound respect and warm regards,

Hemen Parekh
