Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Prices Increased By Up To Rs. 3,000

NDTV16-06-2025
The iconic Royal Enfield Bullet 350 underwent a generation change in 2023, when it finally transitioned to the brand's modern J-series platform, joining the likes of the Meteor 350, Classic 350 and Hunter 350. While the fundamentals have remained unchanged since then, Royal Enfield has introduced a few strategic updates to the Bullet 350's variant lineup and has rejigged the pricing as well. The entry point into the Bullet family is the Battalion Black variant, priced at Rs. 1.75 lakh, which sees no price increase. With its all-black bodywork, golden hand-painted pinstripes, retro-style taillight, scooped single seat, and a rear drum brake, this new base variant is designed to cater to purists who prefer the traditional Bullet styling.
Following that is the Military variant which is still offered in Black and Red, which also carries a Rs. 1.75 lakh price tag, getting a Rs. 2,000 hike over its original price. The standard variant, available in Black and Maroon, now costs Rs. 2.00 lakh, up by Rs. 3,000. The flagship Black Gold version has seen a marginal increase too and is now priced at Rs. 2.18 lakh, up by Rs. 2,000. Royal Enfield had also introduced a Military Silver variant briefly, but it has since been discontinued.
While the variant mix has changed slightly and prices have gone up by Rs. 2,000 - Rs. 3,000 across the board, the Bullet 350 remains mechanically identical. It continues to be powered by the 349 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 20.2 hp and 27 Nm.
However, a noteworthy update lies on the horizon. Royal Enfield is expected to equip the entire 350cc range, including the Bullet, with the slip-and-assist clutch that recently debuted on the 2025 Hunter 350. This small but significant upgrade should enhance the riding experience, particularly in city traffic.

Govt engages Tata Tech to upgrade state polytechnics

Lucknow: The UP govt in collaboration with Tata Technology Limited (TTL) would set up Tata Technology Excellence Centres in 121 govt polytechnics across the state to help these technical educational institutes meet industry requirements. In a govt order (GO), additional chief secretary, technical education, Narendra Bhooshan said the decision was taken to bridge the industry-academia gap prevalent in the diploma sector of technical education. "In polytechnics, some topics have become irrelevant or are not in accordance with industry requirements. These centres will upgrade them and bridged the industry-academia gap," Bhooshan said. For this, Rs 57.3 crore will be spent on installation of machines and equipment in each of the 121 polytechnics. Of the total Rs 6935.8 crore, 87%, that is, Rs 6034.2 crore, will be borne by TTL, and the remaining 13% (Rs 1063.9 crore) by the govt. Also, the state govt will spend an additional Rs 858 crore – Rs 709.2 lakh per institution – towards civil infrastructure and other basic facilities. In the first phase, 45 polytechnic institutions will be upgraded.

In 3 years, Surat used 1.32 lakh MT hot mix to repair 18.6k potholes

1 2 Surat: Every monsoon, damaged roads in Surat trigger public outrage and protests from various quarters of society. Now, official data of the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) reveals the staggering scale of recurring pothole repairs in the Diamond City, which reflects the poor quality of road construction, reports Yagnesh Mehta. According to data from the past three years, the civic body used an average of 280 kg of hot mix material per square metre to repair potholes. This unusually high quantity suggests potholes were not just surface-level craters but deep enough to severely damage any vehicle that does not have SUV-like ground clearance. However, SMC officials clarified that the reported sq m area shows not just the pothole but the surrounding surface as well. "In most repair work, the material is used to cover a wider area than the actual potholed spot. We cover the surrounding area of the potholes so that the repair survives for a longer period and makes it durable," said an SMC officer. The data shows that from 2022 to 2025, SMC repaired 18,662 potholes across 1,364 roads, covering a total area of 4.70 lakh sq m. To carry out these repairs, 1.32 lakh metric tonnes (MT) of hot mix material were used by the civic body's own staff — not contractors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2021 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo Figures show 24,888 MT was used in 2022–23, 37,834 MT in 2023–24, and 69,931 MT in 2024–25, showing a consistent rise in both damage and repair work each year. Apart from pothole repair, the SMC also spent heavily on material purchases for general road repairs. Over the last three years, it procured 5.24 lakh MT of granular sub-base (GSB), gravel, stone dust, grit, tar, and other construction materials — spending Rs 66 crore. During the same period, an additional Rs 11 crore was paid to contractors for road repair projects. AAP municipal councillor Mahesh Anghan told TOI, "Potholes repair was done by SMC itself, while road repair was done by private contractors hired by the civic body. It shows how poor the road construction work is in the city."
