Welcome to the auto hub where you get the latest buzz on everything that rolls, rides or flies (well, almost). We keep it short, practical, and packed with the kind of details you actually need when you’re thinking about a new ride or just love to stay in the loop.
First up, a quirky twist on the Tata Nano. An entrepreneur in Bihar turned the tiny car into a helicopter‑style wedding vehicle and started renting it out for celebrations. The idea sounds wild, but the cost is a fraction of a real helicopter, and it’s catching on fast. It’s a classic example of jugaad – smart, low‑cost innovation that solves a local need.
On the two‑wheel side, the Bajaj Pulsar 125 Neon BS6 is making waves. This 125cc commuter bike blends sporty looks with a fuel‑efficient Twin Spark engine. Features like a semi‑digital console and USB charging mean you get style without breaking the bank. It’s a solid pick for young riders who want daily practicality and a dash of attitude.
Electric news is big, too. Tesla finally launched the Model Y in India, offering a rear‑wheel‑drive version and a Long‑Range RWD that boasts a 622 km range and a 0‑100 km/h sprint in 5.6 seconds. Starting at ₹59.89 lakh, the Model Y brings premium EV tech to Indian roads, backed by a growing Supercharger network in Mumbai.
Meanwhile, Maruti Suzuki rolled out the Swift Dzire Hybrid, targeting the sub‑₹8 lakh segment. With a claimed 40 kmpl mileage, this mild‑hybrid sedan promises lower running costs and modern safety features. It’s a game‑changer for families looking for an affordable, eco‑friendly city car.
Keep an eye on how regional innovators use existing platforms to create niche markets. The Tata Nano helicopter shows that low‑cost creativity can find a profitable niche, especially in the wedding industry where spectacle matters.
For two‑wheel enthusiasts, the trend is clear: manufacturers are adding tech goodies without inflating prices. Look for more bikes with digital displays, fast charging ports, and emission‑friendly engines as BS6 compliance settles in.
Electric vehicles are gaining traction, but the real story will be the infrastructure rollout. Tesla’s Mumbai superchargers are a start, but widespread fast‑charging networks will decide how quickly EVs become mainstream in India.
Hybrid technology is moving from premium to mass market. Maruti’s price point proves that hybrids can be both affordable and efficient, pushing other manufacturers to follow suit.
Whether you’re hunting for a budget ride, an eye‑catching showpiece, or the next EV, our auto section keeps you up‑to‑date with the most relevant news and practical insights. Stay tuned, because the road ahead is full of surprises.
