Steel & Smoke: When Policy Burned Livelihoods | Bus Body Manufacturers Documentary

Описание: STEEL & SMOKE: Jab Rozgaar Jalne Laga

After 6 devastating sleeper bus fires claimed 145 lives in just 6 months, the Indian government introduced strict new regulations (AIS-153) that changed everything for small bus body manufacturers in Udaipur-Rajsamand.

On September 1, 2025, a new policy mandated that only OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and government-recognized companies could build bus bodies. For the 100+ small workshops in Udaipur, Rajsamand, and Nathdwara—this meant potential closure.

This 20-minute documentary explores:
✓ The human cost of policy change
✓ 15,000+ families facing unemployment
✓ Generational craftsmen losing their legacy
✓ The debate: Iron vs. Fibre - Which is safer?
✓ Can small manufacturers comply with AIS-153 standards?
✓ The question India must answer: Safety vs Survival


Filmed in: Udaipur, Rajsamand, Nathdwara (Rajasthan, India)
