The document discusses India's proposed Bharat New Vehicle Safety Assessment Program (BNVSAP). BNVSAP would establish India's first new car assessment program and official vehicle safety testing starting in October 2017. Cars will receive star ratings based on safety performance tests covering frontal offset crashes, side impacts, pedestrian protection, and rear impacts. BNVSAP aims to harmonize India's vehicle safety standards with global standards and help automakers export locally produced cars more widely. It is estimated that compliance with BNVSAP safety norms will increase vehicle costs in India by 8-15%.

4. INTRODUCTION
• The Indian automotive safety standards have been criticized as being insufficient
and ineffective
• India is world's sixth-largest car market
• India the only country among the global top ten car markets without a testing
program that measures the safetyof vehicles
• However, harmonizing India's vehicle safety standards with global standards is
expected to help automakers export locallyproduced cars globally

7. Bharat New Vehicle Safety Assessment Program (BNVSAP)
• The Bharat New Vehicle Safety Assessment Program (BNVSAP) is a proposed New Car Assessment Program for
India set up by the government of India
• BNVSAP would start the official testing from October 2017 onwards
• Cars will be assigned by star ratings based on their safety performance
• To be implemented in phases, by the National Automotive Testing and R& D Infrastructure Project (NATRIP)
• Its 10th NCAP in the world
• New cars sold in India will need to comply with voluntary star ratings based on crash safety performance tests
• Critical safety features such as Airbags,ABS, and seat belt reminders to become standard in cars sold in India
• Offset front crash, side and rear impact tests will be required by 2017
• Cars will gradually have to meet more stringent norms such as pedestrian protection, whiplash injury and child
restraint systems standards and requirements
• It is estimated that vehicles in India will cost 8–15% more resulting from compliance with these norms

8. • The car testingprotocols is defined byARAI as follows:
- Frontal offset testing (64 kmph proposed)
- Side impact testing
- Pedestrian protection testing
- Rear impact testing
- Child dummy dynamic crash testing
• Points would be awarded to the car based on the safety features in the car like ABS, seat belt reminders, child
lock, and Electronic Stability Control
