In India, more than 3.79 million cars, sedans and utility vehicles were sold in the year 2022. The number of sales increased to more than 4.1 million in the following year. Clearly, the number of sales in four wheelers will continue to increase for safer transportation. But the number of road accidents has also increased correspondingly. According to Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), 1,53,972 persons were killed in the road accidents in India, in the year 2021. The number has increased about 11.9% in the following year 2022, with an estimation of 1,68,419 casualties. Hence, to raise the safety standards for cars sold in India, the Bharat New Car Assessment Program has been taken as an Initiative to evaluate safety of vehicles sold in India. In this research, we will provide a comparative study based on safety rating criteria assessed by the New Car Assessment Program in India as well as the New Car Assessment Programs across the world.
