Crash Test For Cars in India Will Be Mandatory Soon
Highlights
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is in the process to make crash tests mandatory for passenger cars in India. The government is planning to mandate the offset front crash test and side impact crash test norms for all the cars, informed a govt representative. To meet the regulations, carmakers will need to have several standard safety features including airbags.
The government representative also said that the facilities are also being built for the requisite test under the National Automotive Testing and Research & Development Infrastructure Project (NATRIP) initiative. The regulations will be implemented as soon as these facilities are ready.
The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) is one of the members of the standing committee on the Central Motor Vehicle Rules that looks after the implementation issues.
