The move was aimed at realigning supply chains and conducting scheduled maintenance and infrastructure upgrades. Hero expects production and dispatches to normalize from May 2025.

The company dispatched 7,116 units of the VIDA V2 electric scooter in April 2025, while VAHAN registrations stood at 6,123 units — a significant year-on-year rise.

      TVS Apache RTX 300 ADV Spied – MD Sudarshan Venu Testing The Upcoming Motorcycle

      by

      Apache RTX 300 ADV SpiedTVS Motor Company is getting ready to enter the booming adventure motorcycle segment in India with its upcoming Apache RTX 300. Fresh spy shots have now emerged online, revealing the bike testing alongside its most likely rivals – Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure, hinting that TVS is benchmarking its new ADV against all key contenders in the mid-capacity ADV category. It is also expected to compete with the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 and Yezdi Adventure.
      TVS MD Spotted Testing the Bike
      Interestingly, TVS MD Sudarshan Venu himself was spotted riding the RTX 300. This suggests the bike is in its final stages of development, with a launch expected within the next two to three months. Apache RTX 300 will mark TVS’s first ever entry into the adventure segment, a category that has gained serious momentum in recent years.
      Apache RTX 300 ADV Spied
      Design-wise, the Apache RTX 300 looks like a well-built, true adventure tourer. It features a tall stance, upright riding posture, long travel suspension, knobby tyres, an upswept exhaust and what appears to be a split seat layout. The spy images reveal a semi-faired body and a muscular fuel tank. It also gets a luggage rack, sleek LED turn indicators, LED tail light, and high-mounted handlebars for relaxed touring ergonomics.
      The front forks are USD units finished in black, matched to a rear monoshock. We expect a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel combo. Braking will be handled by petal discs on both ends and switchable dual-channel ABS is likely to be offered.
      Apache RTX 300 ADV Spied
      Powerful New 300cc Engine
      The TVS Apache RTX 300 will be powered by the brand’s new RT-XD4 engine, which was showcased during the 2024 MotoSoul event. This is a 299cc liquid-cooled DOHC 4-valve motor, expected to churn out around 35 bhp and 28.5 Nm. It will be paired with a 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, and a bi-directional quickshifter.
      Modern Tech and Connectivity
      Interestingly, it will not get a horizontal TFT instrument cluster like the Apache RTR 310 or RR 310. Instead there is a horizontal unit, likely featuring Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, call and message alerts via the TVS SmartXonnect app, and possibly music controls. These features would give it a tech edge in its class.
      TVS has already trademarked the Apache RTX name, and with multiple real-world sightings and the company MD riding the bike himself, the official launch seems imminent. Expect the Apache RTX 300 to launch in the next 2-3 months, with an expected price starting from around Rs 2.4 lakh to Rs 2.7 lakh (ex-showroom). More

      MG Windsor Pro Spied For The First Time – ADAS, Bigger Battery and More

      by

      MG Windsor Pro Spied For The First TimeEver since JSW MG Motor India launched the Windsor EV in the country, it has emerged as the company’s best-seller. Soon, it became India’s best-selling electric car by dethroning offerings from rival brands. Now, the company is stepping up their game in the electric car segment with a new and more high-tech version of Windsor which has been spied for the first time. Let’s take a closer look.
      MG Windsor Pro Spied
      Windsor EV is currently the electric car to beat in India. It is the country’s best-selling electric car by quite a margin. Now, MG will soon launch a new version of Windsor which will boost the appeal further and take sales to new heights. For the first time, this new and better version of Windsor EV has been spied testing with full camouflage.
      These spy shots come from Gurugram in Haryana state. Our sources mentioned that there was Pro branding on the camouflage sleeve. This suggests that MG will call it Windsor Pro, which seems to be a fitting name as it is expected to come equipped with a host of new features and creature comforts along with a larger battery with better range.
      MG Windsor EV
      Current Windsor EV is already well received by the Indian audience and one can just imagine the impact this new and better version will make when launched. This also aligns JSW MG Motor India’s vision to proactively respond to feedback and continually update its vehicles to meet customer demands.
      With MG Windsor Pro, one can expect a larger battery pack with a better range. The same 50.3 kWh battery pack as ZS EV seems to be an obvious choice. This larger battery pack has a claimed range of 460 km with ZS EV. Our experience with current Windsor EV with its 38 kWh battery has been positive and once can expect a real-world range figure, which is not far from MG’s claims.
      Bump in equipment list
      Windsor EV is already a well-equipped vehicle and is a fan favourite with its lounge-like seating, 2,700mm long wheelbase, premium touch and feel of materials, 15.6-inch Grandview Display, Infinity View glass roof, 256 colour ambient lighting, wireless charging pad, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ventilated front seats, powered driver’s seat and up to 604L boot.
      MG Windsor EV Interiors
      Where upgrades are concerned, one can expect the addition of V2L (Vehicle To Load) feature and ADAS suite. Autonomous driver aid features like adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, intelligent high beam assist and many more might be part of its package. The company is yet to reveal a timeline for the launch of MG Windsor Pro. More

      New Electric Motorcycle Spied Testing – Splendor Rival With ADV Design?

      by

      New Electric Motorcycle Spied Testing In IndiaWith its heavy-duty frame, the mystery bike appears capable of carrying not just passengers, but substantial loads as well
      India’s electric two-wheeler segment has been witnessing rapid growth, with new brands and products continually eying for a share of the pie. Recent spy shots reveal a new electric motorcycle that could be positioned as a commuter bike. It could also cater to the B2C segment, given the bike’s extra-thick frame tubing and cargo-friendly features. Let’s dive deeper to explore what this mystery electric motorcycle is all about.
      Styling and features
      A retro theme is evident with the circular headlamp and rear-view mirrors. While the bike looks largely utilitarian, it gets some features that are normally seen with ADV bikes. For example, the bike has a raised front beak and dual-purpose tyres. Such features could be useful when negotiating rough patches and unpaved roads.
      It is possible that the bike could also be targeted at rural markets, where users often need to carry multiple passengers and heavy loads. The extra-long seat can be especially useful for family-oriented commuting. Stretching almost the entire length of the bike, the long seat can also accommodate a wide variety of cargo or luggage items.
      Bajaj Freedom CNG bike also has a long seat, but this one seems to be even longer and wider. One can also notice a robust luggage rack at the rear. The thickness of the metal tubing is significantly more than that of popular commuter bikes such as Hero Splendor Plus and Honda Shine 100. The frame tubing is even thicker, especially in the central section.
      New Electric Motorcycle Spied Testing In India
      Such thick tubing is necessary, as the bike is equipped with a large battery pack. The thick tubing will also allow the bike to support heavy loading, in terms of both passengers and cargo. Pillion riders can expect added comfort with the oversized footrests. These also enhance the bike’s load-carrying capacity.
      Performance, range
      Technical specifications are not available and the bike does not even have any branding elements. However, looking at the massive battery pack, it is possible that this mystery bike could be looking to offer a best-in-class range. Assuming it is using a lithium-ion battery pack, the range could be around 150-200 km. As the bike is likely to be positioned as a commuter motorcycle, its top speed could be capped at around 80 kmph.
      With the heavyset frame and large battery pack, this mystery bike will be heavier than the usual commuter bikes. It may have a torque-focused power delivery rather than prioritizing speed and fast acceleration. The bike can be seen with a mid-mounted motor, connected to a chain drive transmission. This will allow easy maintenance and repairs, even at local shops.
      This mystery bike has standard telescopic forks at front and dual rear shock absorbers. Alloys appear to be 17-inches at both ends, wrapped in dual-purpose tyres. The bike has disc brakes at both ends, with CBS for enhanced braking. Tech kit includes a rectangular digital screen, likely an LCD display. A USB charging port could also be part of the package. Being a commuter, this mystery bike may not have connectivity features.
