Both crash-test cars sold in India and award separate adult and child star ratings, but they are run by different bodies under different protocols. Bharat NCAP is the government programme under AIS-197, launched in October 2023; Global NCAP is an independent charity that tested Indian cars before that, and changed its own protocol in July 2022. Because the scoring differs, a 5-star rating from one is not directly comparable with a rating from the other, and axler8 only compares stars from the same programme.
