 TPMS report real-time tire-pressure information to the driver of the vehicle, either via a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light.

TPMS are provided both at an OEM (factory) level as well as an aftermarket solution.

India's largest auto maker, Maruti Suzuki is offering TPMS across its entire product portfolio in the country as an optional accessory for all the models. Maruti dealers will fit the accessory on all the models sold by the company. The TPMS is priced at Rs 12,990.
