Updated: 26-06-2025, 09.26 AM

New Delhi: Tata Motors has solidified its reputation as India’s safest car brand, with all eight of its tested models earning 5-star safety ratings under the Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (BNCAP). This unprecedented achievement not only boosts Tata’s safety credentials but also appears to have significantly influenced its June 2025 sales performance, driven by rising consumer demand for safer vehicles.

Tata Harrier EV: New Standard for EV Safety

The recently launched Tata Harrier EV led the charge with a flawless performance in Bharat NCAP crash tests:

  • Adult Occupant Protection: 32/32 points

  • Child Occupant Protection: 45/49 points

  • Frontal & Side Impact: 16/16 ratings

With an electric range of up to 600 km on a single charge, the Harrier EV combines robust engineering with green mobility, setting a new benchmark in electric SUV safety in India.


Harrier and Safari: Built Tough, Scored High

Tata’s ICE flagship SUVs, the Harrier and Safari, tested in December 2023, both achieved:

  • Adult Safety: 30.08/32

  • Child Safety: 44.54/49

These SUVs were among the first large vehicles tested by BNCAP and continue to represent Tata’s commitment to high-impact safety for family buyers.


Tata Curve EV: Innovation Meets Safety

The design-forward Curve EV, Tata’s electric coupe SUV, also aced the BNCAP tests:

  • Adult Safety: 30.81/32

  • Child Safety: 44.83/49

Its ICE sibling, the Curve petrol/diesel variant, closely followed with scores of 29.50/32 for adults and 43.66/49 for children, making the Curve lineup a strong competitor against models like the Citroën Basalt.


Nexon EV and ICE: Safety Across Powertrains

The popular Nexon EV, tested in May 2024, secured:

  • Adult Safety: 29.86/32

  • Child Safety: 44.95/49

Meanwhile, its ICE counterpart, tested in October, earned nearly identical marks — a testament to Tata’s uniform safety philosophy across electric and traditional variants.


Punch EV: Safety Leader in the Compact Segment

The Punch EV, evaluated in May 2024, achieved:

  • Adult Safety: 31.46/32

  • Child Safety: 45/49

These outstanding numbers make it India’s safest compact EV, and one of Tata’s top-selling models over the past six months. Its appeal lies in delivering premium safety in a compact footprint — perfect for urban consumers.


Consumer Confidence Translates to Market Success

Tata Motors’ sweep of 5-star safety ratings under Bharat NCAP has resonated strongly with Indian consumers. With rising awareness about vehicular safety — especially for family buyers and EV adopters — Tata’s performance has helped boost showroom footfalls and conversions.

Experts suggest that Bharat NCAP ratings have now become a key purchase factor, much like fuel economy or design, particularly among millennial and Gen Z buyers who prioritize safety and sustainability.


What’s Next for Tata?

With a stellar safety record now validated by BNCAP, Tata is expected to further cement its leadership in both the ICE and EV segments. Upcoming launches like the Altroz EV and Sierra EV are likely to follow the same rigorous safety approach, potentially making Tata the go-to brand for safe and smart Indian vehicles.
