Tata Motors, one of the leading passenger vehicle manufacturers, has added another feather to its cap with the Nexon.EV extending its 5-star safety rating in Bharat New Car Assessment Program (Bharat NCAP).
The automaker has been actively pursuing safety as a critical parameter in its passenger vehicles, with the Nexon SUV being the first vehicle manufactured in India to have scored 5-star rating at Global NCAP way back in 2018.
Going forward, the company has continued to strengthen its portfolio with actively getting its vehicles assessed in Global NCAP as well as Bharat NCAP protocols.
In June 2024, Tata Motors’ Punch.ev became the first electric vehicle in India to bag the 5-star safety rating in Bharat NCAP. And now, the company continued the tradition with the Nexon.ev continuing to sport the badge of 5-star safety rating.

Spinny, a leading platform for buying and selling vehicles, has launched a new brand campaign ‘God Promise’, which features Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, who also happens to be an early investor in the company.

Sachin Tendulkar, "This campaign clicked with me because it's rooted in something I’ve always believed in – trust must be earned and honoured. With ‘God Promise,’ Spinny isn’t just making a statement. They’re making a stand—for simplicity, sincerity, and joy in car buying and selling.”
Niraj Singh, Founder & CEO, Spinny, added, “Sachin has always stood for excellence and trust – values that are deeply embedded in Spinny’s DNA. ‘God Promise’ is simply a reflection of that. We're turning those values into a clear, public commitment. This isn’t just a campaign built on specs and stats – it’s just an extension of how we work. With him as both the face and a strategic investor in Spinny, trust and quality aren’t claims – they’re givens. And that, to us, is the ultimate assurance.
Tanya Mahendru, Creative Director, added, “With Sachin as the face of the brand, god promise was the most natural derivative.”
