The Global New Car Assessment Programme (Global NCAP) under its Safer Car for India Mission has crash-tested various made-in-India cars and ranked them. The participating vehicles have been evaluated in terms of the safety of adult passengers and child occupants in a crash where only the front two airbags were functional.
The list has largely been dominated by Indian automakers such as Mahindra and Tata Motors. If want to buy a new car and wish to know the safety standards of vehicles in the market, check out the list here:
