In 2023, Gadkari had launched the Bharat NCAP (New Car Assessment Programme), which is aimed at improving road safety standards of motors vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes.
“Congratulations to Maruti Suzuki India for achieving a 5***** Bharat NCAP rating for the All-New Dzire — a proud milestone for Made-in-India cars,” he said in a post on X.
Gadkari further said it is heartening to witness mainstream models setting new benchmarks in vehicle safety.
Encouraging too is the brand’s swift adoption of advanced active and passive safety features, including 6 air bags across its lineup, the minister added.
“With #BharatNCAP, we aim to raise public awareness on vehicular safety, enabling customers to make informed decisions and prioritize safety while purchasing vehicles,” he said.
