The Bharat NCAP (New Car Assessment Programme) introduced by the Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways on Tuesday is the tenth global NCAP. This voluntary program tailored for India focuses on evaluating the structural integrity of vehicles and provides OEMs with a cost effective assessment. But how does the Bharat NCAP compare to its global counterparts?
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways rolled out a new safety rating system for passenger cars on Tuesday. It will come into effect from October 1.
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.
