Introducing a report of safety star rating for cars which is NCAP. NCAP means New Car Assessment Program. Here we are giving a piece of small information about NCAPs safety standards used in India that are manufactured for Indian road rules and regulations.
- What is NCAP❓
- When it is started❓
After that different NCAPs are formed,
all of these standards and safety measures are derived from their own government for obeying their National highway traffic safety rules & regulations within the region like (max, min & avg speed inroads), etc..

➤ In 2017 BNVSAP is proposed for Indian safety standards to the new brand cars. before that GNCAP is used. Now also it is used and they are publishing a chart that best star rating to lowest star rating using their standard features. GNCAP ensure #safer cars for India.
➤ GNCAP is the best safety tag given to the car comparing to the BNVSAP front offset impact test. because the front offset is conducted at 56kmph for BNVSAP. For GNCAP it is 64.3kmph.(which standard to all NCAPs).
but the safety features checking like ABS, safety belt reminder, child lock, electronic stability, etc are the same for both tests.
Nearly we have seen a post that TATA Nexon got 5 stars in global NCAP crash test so that we can say which is the safest Indian car according to GNCAP standards.

| Frontal crash test. |
- Now we are coming to Star Ratings ★★★★★
New cars sold in India will need to comply with a voluntary star rating based on,
➤Crash safety performance tests.
➤Airbags.
➤ABS.
➤Seat belt reminders become standard for Indian cars.
Mandatory crash testing like,
➤Offset front crash.
➤Side crash.
➤Rear impact tests will be required by 2017 for BNVSAP.
➤Pedestrian protection
➤whiplash injury and
➤Child restraint systems also standards and requirements.
BNVSAP safety car assessment for Indian cars by obeying the car testing protocols defined by ARAI.
- Frontal offset testing (64kmph proposed)*
- Side-impact testing.
- pedestrian protection testing.
- Rear impact testing.
- Child dummy dynamic crash testing.
- After that safety features like ABS, Seat belt reminders, Child lock, Electronic stability control are the point would be awarded to cars.
* Now NHTSA is the standard followed by the US safety standards, carry out the frontal crash test at 64.3kmph(40mph) under BNCAP is similar to EuroNCAP vehicles. Will be crash-tested at 64kmph for frontal impacts which is the average speed in India.
