Bajaj Auto launches all-new Electric Bajaj GOGO auto in Hyd
Hyderabad, May 13 (UNI) Bajaj Auto Limited, the world's most valuable two-wheeler and three-wheeler company, launched its all-new electric three-wheeler, the Bajaj GOGO Auto, in Hyderabad on Tuesday.
Telangana Transport and Backward Classes Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar, who formally launched the vehicle, congratulated Bajaj Auto for introducing the new EV model. He noted that the initiative aligns with the Telangana government's vision of promoting clean and sustainable mobility, while also serving public needs.
The Minister highlighted that under the leadership of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, Telangana is offering 100 per cent free registration for EVs until 2026—a first-of-its-kind initiative in India.
He noted that this has already boosted the sales of EVs across vehicle categories, from two-wheelers to luxury cars.
In its broader effort to curb pollution, the state aims to encourage the use of EVs, CNG, and LPG vehicles across the proposed Regional Ring Road. As part of this strategy, TGSRTC (Telangana State Road Transport Corporation) is preparing an action plan to introduce 800 electric buses in Hyderabad.
Minister Prabhakar lauded the Bajaj GOGO as a convenient and comfortable commuting solution and expressed hope for a strong market response. He urged the company to collaborate with the state government's Rajiv Yuva Vikasam Scheme, which has been allocated Rs 6,000 crore to support self-employment opportunities for the unemployed. Under this scheme, unemployed youth could purchase EVs like the Bajaj GOGO for self-sustaining livelihoods.
He also suggested the introduction of vehicle exchange offers to allow existing auto-rickshaw owners to upgrade to EVs. Additionally, as a green initiative, he recommended offering a free sapling with each vehicle purchase to promote environmental sustainability.
Speaking on the occasion, Samardeep Subandh, President of the Intra-City Business Unit at Bajaj Auto Limited, said, 'The launch of the all-electric Bajaj GOGO range of three-wheelers will set new benchmarks in the segment. Telangana, being one of India's largest three-wheeler markets, is a natural launchpad for the Bajaj GOGO.
With a certified range of up to 251 km, segment-first features, and Bajaj's legacy of reliability and service, GOGO offers a complete solution for customers seeking high earnings with low maintenance. Backed by over 75 years of trust and purpose-built EV technology, the Bajaj GOGO is the ideal choice for both drivers and passengers, he added.
The Bajaj GOGO comes in three variants – P5009, P5012, and P7012. In the model nomenclature, 'P' denotes 'Passenger', '50' and '70' represent size indicators, while '09' and '12' refer to battery capacities of 9 kWh and 12 kWh, respectively. The GOGO symbolises the vibrancy and dynamism of India's evolving three-wheeler segment and reflects Bajaj Auto's commitment to innovation, cultural relevance, and reliability.
Passenger vehicle variants P5009 (priced at Rs 3,26,797) and P7012 (priced at Rs 3,83,004) are now available; bookings are open at all Bajaj Auto dealerships across India. 5-year battery warranty.

Atria Renewabic launches rooftop solar campaign
Bengaluru, June 7 (UNI) Atria Renewabic, a frontrunner in India's renewable energy sector, on Saturday launched a unique community-centric rooftop solar campaign aimed at accelerating solar adoption in Bengaluru's residential neighbourhoods. Branded under the theme "Bangalore Deserves Better", the initiative seeks to create micro-clusters of solar adopters by encouraging group-based rooftop installations that offer both cost efficiency and collective environmental impact. The campaign specifically targets homeowners and Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), leveraging the power of trusted community networks. Speaking at the launch, CS Sunder Raju, Chairman and Director of Atria Group, said, "At Atria, we have always believed in the power of clean energy to drive meaningful change — not just at the individual level, but at the community level. This campaign is designed to foster a collective movement that makes solar energy more accessible and affordable." Highlighting the urgency of climate action, Raju added, "Climate change is real, and it is perilous to assume someone else will fix it. Through shared adoption models like micro-clusters, and with the support of government schemes such as the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, we aim to empower Bengaluru's citizens to act now." The PM Surya Ghar Yojana offers subsidies of up to ₹78,000 for rooftop solar adoption, a factor expected to boost participation in Atria's new campaign. Founded in 1960, Atria was the first private player in India to harness hydropower and has since diversified into solar and wind energy. The company has dedicated over two decades to building sustainable solutions that impact both energy and community development. The rooftop solar market in India is poised for robust expansion. According to Mordor Intelligence's India Rooftop Solar Market Report, installed capacity is expected to rise from 17.6 GW in 2025 to 41.52 GW by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 18.73%. Urban hubs like Bengaluru are projected to lead this growth, offering immense potential for companies like Atria. With this new campaign, Atria aims to harness the spirit of community action and environmental responsibility, setting a blueprint for sustainable urban living. UNI BDN BM

Mukesh Ambani reveals why he didn't take admission in..., donates Rs 151 crore to....
Mukesh Ambani reveals why he didn't take admission in…, donates Rs 151 crore to… New Delhi: One of the most richest men in the world Mukesh Ambani has recently donated a hopping whopping amount of Rs 151 crore to the prestigious Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), making it the biggest donation in the history of the institute. Notably, the chairman of the country's most valuable company – Reliance Industries – studied at the institute. Earlier known as the University Department of Chemical Technology (UDCT), the ICT was established in the year 1933 by the University of Bombay. It was given the status of a deemed university in 2008 and subsequently renamed as ICT. Ambani announced the donation at the launch of Anita Patil's book 'The Divine Scientist'. The book is based on the life of Padma Vibhushan Professor Man Mohan Sharma. Many students consider him to be the greatest guru of Indian chemical engineering. While speaking about Guru Dakshina, the Reliance Chairman discussed several topics and announced a donation of Rs 151 crore to the institute at the behest of Sharma. 'When they tell us something, we just listen. They told me, 'Mukesh, you have to do something big for ICT', and I am happy to announce that it is for Professor Sharma,' Ambani said. Why Did You Not Go To IIT-Bombay Responding to the question, why did you not go to IIT-Bombay? Ambani stated, 'Visiting the UDCT campus always feels like visiting a sacred temple. Professor Sharma, I regard you as my most respected Guru, my guide and source of inspiration.' He recalled his fond memories of the institute and also praised Patil, saying, 'It is a very difficult task to write the life of a great man like Sharma.' I chose UDCT over IIT -Bombay.' Ambani stated that Sharma's inaugural lecture solidified his belief in Sharma's exceptional abilities. He described Sharma as a transformative figure, capable of converting curiosity into practical knowledge, then into profitable ventures, and finally into enduring wisdom. Ambani attributed major growth within India's chemical sector to Sharma bestowing upon him the title of 'Rashtra Guru' (national teacher).

Government approves shifting of Gurgaon's Kherki Daula toll plaza on Delhi-Jaipur NH to Pachgaon
NEW DELHI: The government has approved shifting of Gurgaon's Kherki Daula toll plaza on the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway (NH-48) to Pachgaon, a place beyond Manesar, paving the way for easy commute for lakhs of office goers. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now When the plaza is moved to Pachgaon, over 15 kilometres from Gurgaon, commuters travelling between Delhi and Manesar also won't have to pay toll. Locals have been demanding its removal since 2014. TOI has learnt that Union road transport and highways minister has approved the plan, and to ensure the new spot doesn't see any congestion, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will go for Multi Lane Free Flow (MLFF) toll collection system. For the new facility, the Haryana government has provided nearly 28 acres of land to the highway authority, sources said. The process of shifting and starting the MMLF system to collect toll at Pachgaon may take around six months. 'Pachgaon is the ideal location as it falls beyond Gurgaon and Manesar. Since there is an interchange of the Western Peripheral Expressway and the NH-48 at Pachgaon, the new toll collection point couldn't have been beyond the intersection,' a source said. In the MMLF system, vehicles don't need to stop as overhead cameras installed for each lane will read the vehicle registration number and automatically deduct the charge from the FASTag wallet linked to the vehicle. Sources said a decision has also been taken to have an integrated system to ensure that traffic coming from the Dwarka Expressway side and heading towards Jaipur don't end up paying toll at this point once again as user fee. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'This is very much possible. Once the annual toll pass for private vehicles is rolled out most of the issues will be resolved automatically,' said a source. The shifting of the toll plaza will end conflicts between operators and people from areas adjoining Kherki Daula, and fulfil the promise the Haryana and central governments have been making for the past seven to eight years. Locals have been demanding that the NHAI shift the toll plaza citing that the govt has recovered more than the investment made in constructing the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway by private players and the highway authority. In a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha in March, the road transport ministry said against Rs 2,489 crore incurred as cost for the NH-48's Delhi-Gurgaon stretch, the toll collection has been around Rs 2,775 crore, around 11% more than the investment. After completion of this 27-km Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway, commuters were paying user fees at Sirhaul (Delhi-Gurgaon border) and Kherki Daula toll plazas. Tolling was stopped at the Delhi-Gurgaon border in 2014, bringing relief to commuters travelling between Dhaula Kuan in Delhi and Kherki Daula. However, those going beyond this point paid toll for the entire stretch. At present, NHAI collects toll through its agency. Meanwhile, sources said the decision to shift the Kherki Daula toll plaza by the road transport ministry will create more pressure on the Delhi government and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to do away with physical entry fee collection booths on the capital's borders to prevent congestion. Traffic jams at these places defeat the purpose of huge investment in building highways and expressways for faster connectivity to Delhi.
