Pedestrian safety key in govt's draft vehicle safety protocol
Hindustan Times Noida
|November 23, 2025
THE PROPOSED BHARAT NCAP 2.0 DRAFT ASSIGNS A 20% WEIGHTAGE TO VULNERABLE ROAD USER PROTECTION IN SAFETY RATING
New car models could in future be assessed on how well they protect pedestrians and other vulnerable road users, according to a draft vehicle safety protocol released by the Centre on Friday, marking a shift from evaluating only occupant protection that is at the heart of the safety star rating mechanism.
The proposed Bharat NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) 2.0 assigns a 20% weightage to vulnerable road user (VRU) protection in the overall vehicle safety rating for new passenger vehicles in the Ml category.
The move comes as pedestrians and two-wheeler users continue to bear the brunt of road crashes accounting for 20% and 45% respectively of all road crash deaths across India in 2023, according to the latest figures released by the Union ministry of road transport and highways earlier this year.
