Bharat NCAP
India’s first indigenous car safety rating system is called Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (Bharat NCAP). It started operating on October 1, 2023, having been launched on August 22, 2023.
The M1 class of vehicles having a gross weight of less than or equal to 3,500 kg are eligible for the optional Bharat NCAP programme. The Automotive Industry Standard, AIS 197, serves as the foundation for the programme.
Bharat NCAP carried out its initial round of crash tests in December 2023. The Tata Harrier and Safari SUVs were rated as having the highest level of safety after achieving excellent results in adult and child protection testing, according to the programme.
