It’s been a few years since the Xpulse concept was first unveiled at EICMA 2017. The motorcycle later made its India debut at the 2018 Auto Expo, and has now been launched, much to the delight of off-roading aficionados.

Seven of the Top 10 most polluted cities in the world are in India. Four of these seven are in Delhi NCR. Let that sink in. As a Delhiite, I am concerned and so should you be. Pollution kills more than six lakh people in India every year. Road accidents kill about 1.5 lakh people. Yes, we are more likely to die from the fumes coming out of the exhaust pipes of our vehicles than from crashing into them. We Read More...

The Tata Hexa was introduced in our market at a time when the carmaker had just begun its transformative journey. Today, from where Tata Motors was, in terms of its repute as a carmaker and also on the sales chart, it has only been an upward climb.

When DSK Benelli unveiled the TRK 502 in 2016 IBW, it led to a lot of speculation regarding the genesis of its styling. Since the 1980s, Benelli has come out with some really interesting motorcycles in the European and American markets; most notably the Sei 750 inline 6. The Indian market witnessed the entry of the originally Italian bike maker as a JV with DSK motors in 2014, who was replaced by the Mahavir Group earlier this year. The TRK Read More...

It is rare for us to attend a media drive, where the car maker's top man is so confident in the product, he asks us to go out and test the car to its limits and come back with a crazy story. We are an obedient bunch and behind the wheel of the 2019 Ford Figo, we did what was asked.
