India removes BAT-BMS app after e-rickshaw remote shutdown reports; cybersecurity concerns raised
The Indian government has removed two smartphone applications from app stores after reports that e-rickshaws could be remotely disabled via the Chinese BAT-BMS app. IT secretary S Krishnan confirmed the action and called for greater app store scrutiny. The Delhi government is investigating claims that Bluetooth-enabled battery management systems in budget e-rickshaws lack security features, allowing nearby users to disrupt power output.
