BNCAP Under Fire: Maruti Suzuki Safety Certifications Missing Amidst Transparency Concerns
Customers and automotive enthusiasts are growing increasingly frustrated with the Bharat NCAP (BNCAP) over the delayed and, in some cases, completely missing safety certifications for popular Maruti Suzuki models. Despite the anticipation surrounding India’s own crash test rating system, BNCAP is facing accusations of a lack of transparency and professionalism, especially after concerning leaks about unpublished test results for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza.
Missing Certificates for Key Maruti Suzuki Models
The primary point of contention revolves around several high-volume Maruti Suzuki vehicles for which BNCAP results are either nonexistent or significantly delayed. The Grand Vitara, a prominent mid-size SUV, currently has “no results” published. Similarly, the popular hatchback Baleno has faced “delayed results,” leaving potential buyers in the dark about its safety credentials. Most concerning is the Brezza, another strong seller, for which BNCAP has published “no results” at all. This absence of official data prevents consumers from making informed decisions based on certified safety standards.
Leaked Brezza Test Sparks Outrage
Fueling the public’s distrust is a recent leak from a user identified as “@theyawninchihua” on social media, who posted an “#EXCLUSIVE” claim about “the Brezza BNCAP test that was never published.” This leak suggests that a test for the Brezza was indeed conducted but its results were withheld from the public. Such allegations directly challenge BNCAP’s credibility and commitment to transparency, prompting strong criticism from consumers who expect professional and forthright communication from a safety regulatory body.
Calls for Transparency and Professionalism
The growing discontent highlights a critical need for BNCAP to enhance its transparency and efficiency. Consumers are urging the organization to move beyond perceived bureaucratic delays and adopt a more professional and open approach to publishing test results. Trust in a safety rating agency is paramount, and without clear, timely, and unbiased information, BNCAP risks losing the confidence of the very public it aims to serve. The automotive community is awaiting a clear response and action from BNCAP regarding these unaddressed concerns.
