The Global NCAP has been testing Indian cars for a short time now under its #SafeCarsForIndia campaign. While there are disappointing leads to the past, cars sold in India have upped their safety game in recent years. The Tata Altroz, as an example , got a 5-star rating earlier this year. Here may be a list of other made-in-India cars that have received an honest rating (more than 3 stars) within the Global NCAP crash test.
Tata Nexon | Tata Altroz | Mahindra XUV300 | |
Adult Occupant Safety | 16.06/17 | 16.13/17 | 16.42/17 |
Child Occupant Safety | 25/49 (3 stars) | 29/49 (3 stars) | 37.44/49 (4 stars) |
Neck Safety | Good for both driver and co-driver | Good for both driver and co-driver | Good for both driver and co-driver |

Global NCAP Roadmap :
Global NCAP has adopted a Road Map for Safer Vehicles 2020 which provides a recommended timetable for UN Member States to apply the most important UN vehicle safety regulations.
Global NCAP propose that these regulations, or equivalent national performance standards, are applied initially to new models and then to all vehicles in production at the latest by the end of the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety in 2020.
