What is Bharat NCAP? 

Bharat NCAP is a car crash test agency launched by the Government of India in October 2023. Since its inception, the agency has been awarding safety ratings to all vehicles sold in India. These ratings are provided separately for adult and child occupant protection, with fixed points for both categories.

According to Bharat NCAP’s criteria, a vehicle must score 41 points for child safety and 27 points for adult safety to earn a 5-star rating. The crash testing process includes three types of tests: frontal impact, side impact, and pole side impact tests.
