Even as Indian car manufacturers are gearing up for upgrading their car safety standards in line with the government-mandated safety norms that will come into effect from October 2017, the UK-based NGO Global NCAP (Global New Car Assessment Program) is set to release the results of its third round of crash tests in India.
While the results of the safety tests on seven Indian cars are to be announced at a two-day conference, on May 16 and May 17, organised by Global NCAP in partnership with the Ministry of Road Transport and the Highways and Institute of Road Traffic Education, carmakers have flagged their concerns over the timing of the test, given that they are already in the process of preparing for the new norms that kick in late next year.
