MUMBAI: Roadcast, a saas-based, hardware-agnostic tracking platform backed by Jubilant Foodworks, has unveiled India’s first fully homegrown alcohol breath analyser. The launch marks a significant leap in road and workplace safety, as well as a push for indigenous innovation under the ‘Make in India’ vision.
Compact and easy to use, the device integrates with Roadcast’s telematics system to prevent vehicle ignition if a driver is intoxicated. Real-time data is simultaneously transmitted to fleet administrators, making it a powerful tool for transport companies, government fleets, taxis, ambulances and public transport operators. Beyond roads, it can also be deployed in warehouses, factories and offices, with features such as facial recognition for attendance management combined with alcohol detection.
“With this launch, our aim is to make safety proactive rather than reactive,” said Roadcast, co-founder & ceo, Vishal Jain. “The alcohol breath analyser is not only technologically advanced but also proudly made in India. It brings accountability into everyday operations while demonstrating India’s ability to create lasting impact on society and industry.”
The launch comes at a time of rising global demand for alcohol detection technologies. The global breath analyser market is projected to grow from 715.5 million dollars in 2024 to 1,154.3 million dollars by 2034 (CAGR 4.9 per cent), while India’s market is expected to expand at an even faster 8.2 per cent CAGR. Roadcast has set itself a milestone of one million dollars in business from this product over the next two years and is targeting two times overall growth by adding safety tech to its portfolio.
Unlike conventional alcohol tests that rely on blood or urine samples, Roadcast’s analyser offers a non-invasive, on-the-spot solution. Historical data storage and reporting further enhance compliance, making it especially valuable for industries with strict safety mandates.
By tackling one of India’s most pressing road safety issues like drunk driving and extending safety standards into workplaces, Roadcast is positioning its new solution as more than just a product. It’s a public safety tool designed to save lives and set new benchmarks for responsible mobility.
