The proportion of pedestrian fatalities in India constitutes the highest percentage of many cities according to previous surveys. Pedestrian involvement rate and details of patterns of injury are not available for the whole country at the time of writing. This work analyses the nature of injury patterns on non‐fatal pedestrian cases for Delhi, India (117 out of 120 cases), along with detailed clinical data. The data was collected from patients admitted for emergency care at St Stephen’s Hospital, Delhi, over a period of 17 months. Injuries to all the body segments could not be tracked. The study also looks at the correlation of AIS 2008 levels of injury and hospital cost for applications to safety studies using monetised Injury Cost (IC) scale. There was a progressive increase in IC with severity of injury in AIS. This data set gives insight into details of injuries and crash details for pedestrians in an urban environment of India. The data updates and also provides insight into treatment costs in a non‐OECD environment.
