Tata Motors, India’s leading automobile brand, has become the first to receive a 5-star rating for its flagship SUV, the new Safari, and the premium SUV, the Harrier, as per the Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (Bharat-NCAP), India’s independent safety performance evaluation protocol. The Bharat-NCAP is India’s independent voice on vehicle safety, benchmarked to the best-in-class global standards. The first vehicles to receive the highest achievable 5-star rating are both from Tata Motors.
The Bharat-NCAP provides customers with a credible, objective score to evaluate the safety aspects of various vehicles, fostering the rising preference for safer vehicles in the country. Tata Motors, built on the OMEGARC architecture, derived from Land Rover’s renowned D8 Platform, is committed to improving vehicle safety holistically. The powerful and stylish Safari and Harrier SUVs also come with the highest 5-star GNCAP rating, making them the safest vehicles on Indian roads. The award is a significant step forward in India’s commitment to ensuring the safety of its vehicles.
Announcing this distinctive achievement, Hon’ble Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Shri Nitin Gadkari ji, said, “I’m delighted that the first ever vehicles being certified today with the highest achievable 5-star rating, are both from Tata Motors.”
