Third Rate Indian-made death-trap cars getting zero stars in latest NCAP tests. As always.
And cheap-a$$ bhakts keep buying these. Good for them.
Most Indian made cars don't even have airbags.
Chevrolet Enjoy
Renault Duster
In the third round of tests involving popular models sold in India, Global NCAP has crashed the Renault Kwid, Maruti Suzuki Celerio, Maruti Suzuki Eeco, Mahindra Scorpio and Hyundai Eon. All cars have received zero stars for safety in the tests.

Global NCAP has taken up the matter of safety regulation and appealed to the Indian government to take steps to institute a New Car Assessment Programme or NCAP, for India.
The first India crash test was conducted almost three years ago, and the second one was conducted in 2014 and the third one has been conducted this year. So, before the next test, our models should be up to the latest safety regulations and we hope that next time we’ll make it at least to Four stars.
Car makers must ensure that their models pass the UN’s minimum crash test regulations, and support use of air bag. Only introducing these features in the cars will make this Make In India more successful, as the products that are made in India should be more reliable than the foreign products, otherwise the people would not prefer them.

NCAP has taken the matter in its own hands

Conclusion
These tests implies that the Make In India cars need to have a bodyshell, that can remain stable even in a car crash. This is an absolutely crucial pre-requisite for the passenger’s safety with the fitment at least of front air bags.Car makers must ensure that their models pass the UN’s minimum crash test regulations, and support use of air bag. Only introducing these features in the cars will make this Make In India more successful, as the products that are made in India should be more reliable than the foreign products, otherwise the people would not prefer them.
