on June 27, India plans to establish a passenger car safety rating system to encourage automobile manufacturers to provide advanced safety performance for their products and improve the "export value" of Indian cars

the Indian Ministry of road transport said in a statement that it would test the vehicle protection measures and safety auxiliary technologies for adult and child passengers in the vehicle, and give the tested vehicles a rating of 1 star to 5 stars

according to the Ministry of road transport of India, the new system will come into effect in April 2023

some public roads in India have complex road conditions and frequent accidents. In addition to the planned rating of passenger cars, India proposes that all passenger cars be forced to install six airbags. However, some automobile manufacturers oppose this, saying it will increase the cost of automobiles. At present, Indian regulations require passenger cars to be equipped with two airbags, one for driver protection and the other for front passenger protection

India is the fifth largest automobile market in the world, with an annual sales volume of about 3million vehicles. Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai, which are majority owned by Suzuki, are the largest local automakers in terms of sales. (Chenchen)
