In this episode of Connecting Rod, automotive journalists Rahul Ghosh and Dipayan Dutta dive deep into the world of car safety ratings in India — from BNCAP to GNCAP, and how these ratings influence car buyers in a rapidly evolving market. We explore the history of crash testing, how Indian roads are reshaping global safety standards, and whether the Indian consumer finally prioritizes safety over style.
