New car assessment program which could be said that was originally started in US as a part of offering car safety worthiness to its customers since then it evolved as an institution to test car safety for the cars in US Known as US-NCAP . After this many countries develop their own apex crash safety testing institution like Euro-NCAP ,China - NCAP , Korean-NCAP etc .

Global NCAP is an independent body registered in UK which provides safety reports of the cars in developing markets such as India and Africa.

#safercars for India is also a campaign run India by the Global NCAP and testing cars in the Indian market. Mahindra Thar, been the latest tested vehicle in India .

Assessment Method

Head

 Neck

 Chest

 Knee, Femur and Pelvis

 Lower Leg

 Foot/Ankle

The cars are driven at 64kmph and  collided with 40 percent overlap into a deformable barrier which is the equivalent of a crash between two cars of the same weight, both moving at 50kph. The car has dummies placed inside with monitoring system attached to them in order to record the force and damages that occur to the dummies .

Based on the Results, car assessment in done and figures are matched with the safety standards , every car is awarded stars out of 5  based on Adult occupants safety , child safety and body shell integrity .Each crash test video is uploaded on the Global NCAP website for everyone to see them . Being at independent institute there are less chances of any manipulation in reports and people can trust them .The question arises now is Which car is best in India for safety?

Here below is the list of safety ratings of Indian cars tested in the period of 2014-2018.

Recently Mahindra Thar has been tested and has scored 4 star rating , Maruti espresso scored 0 stars , Hyundai i10 grand nios            scored 2 stars . 
Some points should  be noted that the safety standards of Indian government for cars are far behind as compared to other countries .
Global NCAP has stated that in future their testing would be more tough for the cars .
There are few automakers who provide safe cars Under 10 lac segment and indian customer are now more inclined towards safety than looks and hope so that India would develop their own crash testing organisation in future .
