Automakers in India believe that Bharat NCAP will elevate the standard of safety of vehicles in India while also motivating brands to use better technology.
India s New Car Assessment Program (Bharat NCAP) is being launched to improve road safety and raise safety standards for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. Car manufacturers can voluntarily test their vehicles according to the Automotive Industry Standard (AIS) 197.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in India has introduced the Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (Bharat NCAP) to improve road safety. The program evaluates the safety performance of passenger vehicles and assigns star ratings based on comprehensive crash tests and assessments. The goal is to harmonize India s safety standards with other countries. The ratings empower consumers to make informed choices and encourage manufacturers to meet higher safety standards.
