Due to not having any standard safety scale in India, the vehicle manufacturers aren’t abiding to produce cars that can pass such tests. As a result, countless accidents are happening in India, and the number of deaths is also increasing simultaneously.

Whereas, standard car safety ratings on India will help the car manufacturers to export the vehicles overseas producing from India.
