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.
