As compared to an Esteem perhaps a crash in the Indigo may result in the occupants coming out better, but here's a review of the City Rover which was based on the Indica (and built much better!) and this is what they say about safety:

I knows the Tata have a crash facility, but somehow, heavy does not seem the same as safe to me.

How I wish we had EuroNCAP kind ratings in India--for every car! Then we'd never have to speculate on safety aspects of a car! I read the government is in the process of setting up something, but who knows when it will get going....
