Bharat NCAP will grant QR code stickers to those automobile manufacturers whose vehicles have undergone a crash test under the safety program. The BNCAP-issued sticker will give complete information about the name of the vehicle manufacturer, the name of the vehicle or model, the date of the test, and the safety star rating for both adults and children. Whenever a person scans these stickers with their mobile or any other device, the complete information about that vehicle will pop up on the screen.

In 2023, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways launched the Bharat NCAP, in collaboration with Global NCAP. Under this, safety tests of some vehicles have also been done so far.
