Indian cars have always been in news for offering poor
safety measures and when we come across the reports of cars going under a crash
test by the New Car Assessment Program, we tend to worry as we now know what
the result will be.
After the circulation of these reports begin the blame game
& whom to point fingers at. We have three main players who play a key role
in deciding upon the standards of Indian cars.
The Manufacturers
It’s almost certain that the first people we will point
fingers at will be the manufacturers themselves as they are the ones who sell
unsafe cars to us. In the latest crash test we had three versions of the
Renault Kwid, Mahindra Scorpio, Hyundai Eon, Maruti Eeco and Maruti Celerio. As
per reports all these seven cars have an unstable body and zero capacity to
stand a situation of accident.
As Indian car buyers are extremely price conscious they tend
to buy a car which is cheap in price, that’s why manufacturers in order to
reduce their cost use cost effective material which may be subsidized on
security measures.
The Government
The fact is not unknown that the car safety norms in India
have not kept pace with the changing times & technologies. Now the
government is all set to introduce the Bharat New Vehicle Safety Assessment
Program (BNVSAP) which will make India’s car safety more stringent.
As the road network is expanding & quality is checked,
the cars launching today are capable of reaching very high speed which on the
other hand can be lethal.
Government needs to ensure that the basic safety
features are installed in all models making the buyers safe.
The Car Buyer
Ultimately it is the car buyer who decides to buy a car with
high price value or not. The question here is a matter of life & death and
we cannot put a price on life. Buyers need to pay extra attention to the safety
features while buying a new car, this will give manufactures the required
confidence in making good cars with added safety measures. Make the right
choice, spending little more on safety will only help you in the years to come.
“While price is an important factor before making a purchase
decision for all Indian buyers, we must never forget that spending a bit extra
on safety measures will only save you and your loved ones” Sameer Malhotra, CEO
