The Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (Bharat NCAP) has launched a new initiative to improve consumer awareness regarding vehicle safety in India.

These labels will indicate the safety rating of the vehicle as determined by the programme, which remains voluntary for passenger vehicle manufacturers.

These safety rating stickers will serve as an immediate reference for consumers, allowing them to easily assess the safety level of a vehicle before purchase. Each sticker will also feature a QR code that, when scanned, provides a detailed report of the vehicle's crash test results.
The stickers will be provided to all OEMs for vehicles that have undergone testing under the Bharat NCAP programme. The labels will display the Bharat NCAP logo, a QR code, the manufacturer's name, the model of the vehicle, the date of testing, and the safety ratings for both child and adult occupants.

Results are also expected for Maruti Suzuki vehicles in the time to come, as images of the Grand Vitara undergoing the Bharat NCAP safety test surfaced online recently.
