Global NCAP’s #SaferCarsForIndia Campaign To End Soon

UK-based charity Global New Car Assessment Programme (GNCAP) has announced to end its ‘Safer Cars for India’ campaign by the end of this year.
Currently, the Global NCAP conducts safety crash tests for cars sold in India under its #SaferCarsForIndia campaign. But from October 2023, the Indian government’s recently launched BHARAT NCAP will do the safety assessment for cars manufactured and sold in India.
David Ward, GNCAP’s president, stated that they don’t seek to rival the BHARAT NCAP. This will also dodge any chances of confusion among consumers.
The Global NCAP has also signed an MOU with the CIRT (Central Institute for Road Transport) to provide technical assistance to Bharat NCAP.
As per the signed MOU, the Global NCAP will help the CIRT with the various standard operating procedures for vehicle selection, overseeing crash tests, media engagement etc.
For those who aren’t aware, the Global NCAP has conducted over 62 crash tests on more than 50 models in the last 10 years under its #SaferCarsForIndia campaign. Here’s a look at the top 10 highest-rated cars at the Global NCAP’s new and more rigorous testing criteria: –
