Background information The Indian automobile industry is accelerating, with over-average rates of growth at home and abroad. To enable these carmakers to hold their own on the world market, their products have to meet the international environmental and safety standards. For this reason the Indian government set up the National Automobile Testing and R&D Infrastructure Project (NATRiP), which will establish three crash centers to the latest standards in Chennai, Pune and Delhi. The instrumentation of these centers was put out to international tender.
