India will implement Bharat NCAP 2.0 from October 2027 to ensure all vehicles are 100% safe, announced Union Minister Nitin Gadkari. The new system aims to address road safety issues as India leads globally in road accidents. Bharat NCAP crash tests cost 75% less than international methods, attracting foreign automakers to send vehicles to India for safety certification. The minister cited this as evidence of the system's global acceptance and credibility. The revamped testing will evaluate all accident phases, prioritizing crash prevention technology, pedestrian safety, and post-crash care systems. This marks a shift from passive safety measures to comprehensive vehicle safety assessment.
