Mercedes-Benz India has announced the addition of DRM receiver support starting in its S-Class models. With this latest car brand to roll out DRM functionality in the country, buyers now have a wide choice of cars with built-in DRM digital radio support, from affordable mass-market models to high-end luxury cars.
Other brands that already line-fit DRM receivers include Maruti-Suzuki, Hyundai, Toyota, Mahindra and MG. Over 3 million new cars on Indian roads have line-fit DRM digital radio support.
It seems the growing uptake of DRM digital radio by the Indian automotive industry is encouraged by investment from India’s national public radio in specialist DRM digital services such as a cricket commentary service, the 24/7 AIR News channel and Journaline text news.
