    Hero Glamour X Details Leak Before Launch – Cruise Control, New TFT Screen

    New Hero Glamour X Details LeakHero MotoCorp is India’s de facto motorcycle manufacturer, all thanks to its vastly successful commuter bikes. The company has had a good run and is now working on their next generation 125cc commuter bike. Ahead of launch, details of this upcoming next gen 125cc commuter have been leaked, revealing interesting details. Let’s take a closer look.
    Hero Glamour X 125 Details Leak
    For starters, the new leaked video reveals the name of Hero MotoCorp’s upcoming commuter motorcycle. Glamour X. That’s what Hero is calling their next generation 125cc commuter bike. The company assures that Glamour X will be India’s most futuristic 125cc 2W offering.
    New Hero Glamour X Fuel Tank
    The claim might very well be true as Hero Glamour X is set to debut Cruise Control feature, which is unheard of in this 125cc commuter space. In fact, Cruise Control is unheard of even in sporty and premium 125cc motorcycles. Also, Glamour X is the first ever motorcycle from Hero MotoCorp to offer Cruise Control, which is quite a statement.
    New Hero Glamour X Cruise Control
    In latest leaks, we can see a toggle on right hand switchgear that operates Cruise Control features, which is unusual for a 125cc budget commuter. However, it could be a speed limiter function as well. Either way, an electronic throttle (ride-by-wire) is highly likely to be on this motorcycle.
    New Hero Glamour X LED Headlights, Indicators
    What else is new?
    While Cruise Control is the star of this show, other notable elements seen with Hero Glamour X include a new fully digital instrument cluster, which seems to be a colour LCD panel, similar to the one seen on Karizma XMR 210 Base variant and Xtreme 250R. There are tell-tale lights flanking this screen and there seems to be an gear shift light as well, probably tuned to eke out maximum fuel efficiency.
    New Hero Glamour X LCD Instrument cluster
    This cluster might pack less features than Xtreme 250R. It is likely to support connected features via Bluetooth like notification alerts and turn-by-turn navigation. Also, Hero is offering a Type-C port on Glamour X, a first ever for a Hero MotoCorp bike. We can see LED turn indicators and one can expect a stylistic fuel tank with muscular tank shrouds too.
    New Hero Glamour X Engine
    Other notable elements include an upmarket-looking alloy wheel design, a front disc brake setup, telescopic front suspension, an engine kill-switch, full LED headlight and tail lights and an updated switchgear on left side to operate this new LCD screen. Hero seems to have employed an underbone chassis with Glamour X.

    Powering Hero Glamour X could be the same 124.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine with a peak power of 10.39 bhp and peak torque of 10.4 Nm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Considering there is an electronic ride-by-wire throttle and the ‘Most Futuristic 125cc’ promise, we can expect a slipper clutch too. Launch is tomorrow on 19th August, 2025. More

    E20 Petrol Debate: Ethanol Blending Is the Future – But Forcing Consumers Isn’t

    E20 Petrol DebateIndia’s transition to ethanol-blended fuel is being pitched as a landmark step toward energy security, farmer welfare, and reduced emissions. On paper, it makes sense. Ethanol is renewable, lowers carbon emissions, and reduces India’s dependence on costly crude imports. The government’s own data shows that blending has already saved over Rs 1.40 lakh crore in foreign exchange and supported the rural economy. Yet, the rollout of E20 petrol has triggered widespread public backlash – not because people oppose ethanol, but because they oppose being left without choice.
    Consumers Want Options, Not Compulsion
    The core of the public’s frustration is simple: why should E20 be the only option? If E0 (pure petrol), E10 and E15 are available globally, why not in India? For many owners of older cars and two-wheelers, E20 brings genuine concerns of reduced fuel efficiency, compatibility issues, and potential engine damage. Automakers themselves have said that full E20 compliance was achieved only from April 2023 onward. That leaves millions of vehicles on Indian roads potentially vulnerable.
    E20 Petrol Debate – Source
    While the Ministry insists that studies by ARAI, SIAM, and Indian Oil show “no significant wear-and-tear,” real-world consumer experiences often diverge from lab results. The ministry admits a 1–2% mileage drop in newer E10-calibrated cars and 3–6% in older ones, but community fact-checks point to ethanol’s lower calorific value, which results in about 7% energy loss per litre. Consumers are understandably wary of being told this is “marginal.”
    The Price Promise That Wasn’t
    Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had famously said that ethanol-based petrol would be cheaper: “Diesel at Rs 50/litre and petrol alternative at Rs 55/litre.” Today, E20 is sold at the same price as regular petrol, despite its lower energy content. This means consumers are paying the same, but getting fewer kilometers per litre – effectively a hidden cost increase. If the government truly wants to build trust, fulfilling the earlier promise of lower pump prices for E20 is critical.
    E20 Petrol Debate – Source
    Passing the Burden to Consumers
    New report claims that some automakers are now working on E20 upgrade kits for older vehicles, priced between Rs 4,000– Rs 6,000. While this is a constructive step, many consumers ask why they should bear additional costs for a government-mandated fuel shift. After all, they already paid for vehicles designed for E0 or E10 and continue to pay rising fuel prices. Forcing them to retrofit their vehicles to avoid damage feels like shifting the burden entirely to the consumer.
    Ethanol Blending is the Future – But Must Be Fair
    It is important to note that the public is not against ethanol. Most agree that supporting farmers, reducing emissions, and saving forex are worthy goals. The backlash is not against E20 itself – it is against the lack of choice and the broken promise of affordability.
    Give consumer options – Image Team BHP
    If India truly wants to lead in green mobility, the way forward must be flexibility and transparency:
    – Offer E0, E10, and E20 at fuel pumps so consumers can choose what suits their vehicle.– Price E20 lower to reflect its lower energy content and earlier ministerial promises.– Support retrofit kits through subsidies or incentives instead of passing the full cost to owners.– Communicate transparently, acknowledging real-world efficiency drops instead of downplaying them.
    Ethanol blending is a bold step for India’s future, but forcing consumers without choice risks alienating the very people this policy is meant to serve. A fair, flexible, and consumer-first approach will not only ease the transition but also ensure that India’s ethanol story is one of trust, not resentment. More

    Ola S1 Pro Sport Launch Price Rs 1.5 Lakh – 320km Range, 152km/h Top Speed

    Ola S1 Pro SportIn a major leak, many of the specifications of Ola S1 Pro Sport were known before the company launched it. However, what wasn’t known was its design and many finer details, which have now been officially revealed. This is by far the sportiest scooter Ola Electric has launched and it might be the performant mainstream electric scooter in India. Let’s take a closer look.
    Ola S1 Pro Sport Launch
    Bhavish Aggarwal led Ola Electric electric mobility startup has come a long way in its journey navigating the tough-to-crack Indian market. After launching Gen 3 scooter lineup in January 2025, Ola has now come up with their sportiest scooter yet. Called Ola S1 Pro Sport, this electric scooter packs quite a lot of new things for Ola brand and scooters in general in India.
    Ola S1 Pro Sport
    Where pricing is concerned, Ola S1 Pro Sport costs Rs 1.5 lakh, which is an introductory price and might change once it generates enough headlines for the brand. This price is for smaller 4 kWh battery pack option, while the larger 5.2 kWh battery version costs Rs 1.65 lakh. For some reason, Ola S1 Pro+ 4 kWh variant is more expensive than S1 Pro Sport 4 kWh variant despite not having all the extras Sport packs (all prices Ex-sh, inclusive of subsidies).
    At the same time, S1 Pro Sport 5.2 kWh variant is Rs 5k more expensive than Ola S1 Pro+ 5.2 kWh variant (Ex-sh, inclusive of subsidy). Launched at company’s annual August 15th (Independence Day of India) Sankalp event, pre-bookings have started for Rs 999 and deliveries will commence in January 2026 (probably around Republic Day of India, not confirmed).
    Ola S1 Pro Sport
    What is new?
    Design wise, Ola S1 Pro Sport looks like a derivative of S1 Pro Gen 3 as it gets a sort of an added front fairing which gives out an X motif. There’s a front camera which unlocks ADAS (a first for any mainstream 2W), a carbon fibre front fender and rear sportier grab rails, a taller handlebar cowl, a more premium ORVM stalk and a disconnected LED DRL signature.
    It rides on 14-inch alloy wheels now and lends a big scooter look. Battery is still the same 5.2 kWh unit and it might pack Ola’s new indigenous 4680 cells after it debuts with Ola S1 Pro+ and Roadster X+. Ola promises sportier riding experience as suspension is retuned to adapt to this new scooter’s character.
    Ola S1 Pro Sport
    Performance-wise, Ola S1 Pro Sport is an upgrade over Pro+ it is based on as the top speed is increased from 141 km/h to 152 km/h. Ola mentioned three power figures with Ola S1 Pro Sport – 13 kW, 15.4 kW and 16 kW with little clarity as to which is the correct figure. Peak torque is 71 Nm and 0-40 km/h time is claimed to be 2s. Range is same as Pro+ at 320 km.
    1st ADAS 2W in India
    To increase safety proposition with its new S1 Pro Sport, Ola Electric has incorporated ADAS suite, which the company had teased before. This is a truly commendable move if it works as advertised with all the AI gains to be unlocked by upcoming MoveOS 6 operating system. Some of the autonomous features may include blindspot warning, collision warning, collision avoidance, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition and more.
    Ola S1 Pro Sport
    MoveOS 6 is likely to launch with Ola S1 Pro Sport in early 2026. It has to be noted that Ola is the only 2W OEM in India that has officially announced incorporation of ADAS in their products. Other notable elements include “Dual ABS”, 791 mm seat height, 34L under-seat storage, 7-inch touchscreen instrumentation and more. More

    Tata.ev Charging Report 2025 – Key Insights Revealed For EV Users

    Harrier EV Receives Record 10,000 BookingsA significant improvement has been noted in EV charging infrastructure across the country, although some snags still need ironing out
    To provide an overview of EV usage trends and the prevailing EV charging infrastructure in the country, Tata.ev has published its India Charging Report 2025. The comprehensive report provides data-backed insights that will benefit the entire EV ecosystem and all stakeholders. Let’s take a look at the key findings of the report.
    EV adoption and usage patterns
    Tata’s report reveals that electric vehicles are now present across 65% of the pin codes in the country. 84% of users utilize their EV as their primary vehicle. This is an improvement from the 74% reported in 2023. Another interesting revelation is that EVs are being used more by their owners, as compared to usage by ICE car owners. This could be due to the lower running cost of EVs.
    Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
    Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
    Average running of EVs is 1,600 km per month, which is 40% more than average distance of ICE vehicles. In 2023, EVs were ahead by 11%. EVs are also being used more frequently, an average of 27 days per month. That’s 35% more, as compared to ICE vehicles. This again is due to the lower running cost of EVs. Other factors also come into play such as ease of driving and seamless availability of charging stations.
    One can also see in the report that EVs are being used across more than 95% of the road network in the country. This is a positive development in terms of EV penetration, consumer confidence in their vehicles and easy availability of charging stations across the country.
    Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
    Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
    As per the report, 50% of Tata EV owners have successfully covered 500 km and more on their vehicles across important corridors. It includes routes such as Delhi-Manali, Mumbai-Goa and Hyderabad-Bengaluru. This data highlights that EV charging stations are easily available across leading highways. Also dispels the myth that EVs are only for urban commuting. Long distance travelling on EVs is a major trend and many users regularly share their experiences.

    Public charging network availability and usage
    A massive 4X growth has been noted in the number of public chargers. From 5,500 public chargers in 2023, the number has now reached 24,000. These are spread across both highways and urban centres. Tata utilizes a proprietary spatial analysis methodology based on hexbin mapping to accurately assess fast charger availability across metro areas. The methodology utilizes processes such as route data mapping (GPS based tracking of EV and ICE journeys) and charger proximity analysis.
    Based on the analysis, it has been found that 91% of national highways now have charging options within a radius of 50 km. This is an improvement over the 60% availability noted in 2023. States with 100% charger availability (within 50 km) include Karnataka, Haryana, Delhi, Kerala, Bihar, Chandigarh, Punjab, Goa, Tripura, Sikkim, Puducherry, Daman & Diu and Dadra & Nagar Haveli.
    Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
    Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
    Another interesting thing revealed is that around 25% of the charging stations are reaching utilization levels above profitability thresholds. This is a positive development for people and entities who may be looking to set up EV charging stations as a business. User trust in public charging stations is also growing.
    Tata report mentions that 35% of its EV users charge their vehicle at a public charging station, at least once a month. This is an improvement from the 21% noted in 2023. Nearly 77% of Tata EV owners have gone on trips where they needed to use public charging stations. In fact, close to 14,000 of them depend on public charging as their primary source.
    Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
    Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
    Key challenges
    While EV charging infrastructure is rapidly improving, a number of challenges remain. For example, non-functioning chargers are a major pain point. As of Feb 2024, around 12,100 of the approximately 25,000 public chargers were found to be non-functional.
    Another hassle is the difficulty in finding a working charging station. Users are reportedly using 17 – 20 apps just to locate a functional charging station. Digital payments are also sometimes a challenge, especially for elderly users or owners of chauffeur-driven vehicles.
    Tata.ev Charging Report 2025
