Bharat NCAP is one of the Voluntary Programs under which an assessment of Safety is done based on the car's performance in crash tests and the installation of safety equipment equipment in the vehicle. It is India's renowned safety rating and crash testing agency that has created excitement on social media by hinting at the upcoming release of safety ratings for a new batch of cars. This announcement comes after a five-month gap since their last safety ratings reveal in December 2023.
The teaser from Bharat NCAP has sparked anticipation among car enthusiasts, especially after their impressive 5-star safety ratings for Tata Harrier and Tata Safari SUVs. Although the precise vehicles being assessed are unknown, rumours suggest that Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai models may be included.
There was no notification of a new exam since the model code of conduct that was enforced during the general elections had already taken effect. Government officials, however, have pushed the manufacturers to reveal the results immediately rather than waiting until the code of conduct expires on June 4 out of concern that the program may lose momentum.
The teaser is released in time for Maruti Suzuki's impending release of the newest Swift hatchback. The new Swift's safety performance is particularly noteworthy, especially in light of Maruti Suzuki's decision to make six airbags standard on all models. This action signifies a major change in the automotive industry's focus on safety measures.
The safety ratings that Bharat NCAP will soon provide have significant consequences for manufacturers and customers alike. A high safety rating for the new Swift might improve the car's allure and solidify Maruti Suzuki's place in the market. Conversely, customers will gain from more openness and easy access to critical safety data, empowering them to make knowledgeable purchasing choices.
