NEW DELHI, June 13: Tata Motors’ Punch.Ev and Nexon.Ev have become the first recipients of the five-star Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (Bharat-NCAP) rating in the electric vehicles category.
Road Transport and Highways minister Nitin Gadkari in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, said: “Congratulations to @tataev @TataMotors for achieving a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating for the Punch.Ev and Nexon.Ev, thus becoming the first ever 5-star rated EVs in the Indian automotive market.”
Gadkari further said that as electric vehicles spearhead the future of mobility in India, a strong Bharat NCAP rating serves as an invaluable tool for consumers in selecting safer vehicles, and it stands as a testament to the high level of safety provided to the vehicle’s occupants.
Bharat-NCAP is benchmarked to the best-in-class global standards and the Bharat-NCAP vehicle rating system is designed to advance road safety and vehicle safety standards beyond mandatory regulations, he had said last year. (PTI)
