The top motorcycle maker, BMW Motorrad, is all set to introduce an entry-level ADV for Indian customers. It will hit the market with the name F 450 GS, competing in the 450cc segment.
Ahead of the official release, which is likely to hit the market in a few months, production design has been leaked on the internet through a patent filing, hinting at its overall style statement, road presence and some of the top highlights.
Here's What To Expect
According to the leaked images, the upcoming BMW F 450 GS seems like it will share most of the styling cues with its elder sibling, the 1300 GS. Going by the images, it looks fully inspired by the model, featuring a similar stance, front fascia, side profile, ruggedness, and bold styling cues.
Talking about the design highlights, the ADV is likely to get a 1300 GS-inspired headlight setup, paired with X-shaped DRLs, complemented by sleek turn indicators on both ends, and an aggressive-looking fuel tank.
Engine Specs
At the heart, the F 450 GS will use a robust 450cc, parallel-twin engine that will generate a maximum power of 47 BHP. The unit will be paired with a 6-speed gearbox. If rumours are to be believed, customers might get a semi-automatic gearbox option as well, which will make it superior in the segment.

This Mumbai Auto Driver Received Extra Rs 500 From A Customer. Here's What He Did Next
Last Updated: A Reddit user shared how a Mumbai auto driver returned Rs 500 he mistakenly paid during a short ride. An auto rickshaw driver, who received extra Rs 500 from a customer, is receiving praises online for returning the money. A Reddit user shared how he accidentally paid Rs 553 instead of Rs 55 for a short ride from Juhu Beach to Vile Parle station. The user, who had just moved to Mumbai, was already feeling low on their first day in the city. 'I was lost in thought and didn't realise I had paid Rs 500 extra until I reached the station and opened my phone to buy a train ticket," he wrote on Reddit. 'The auto had already left. I was devastated," the post added. The Redditor said he tried asking around the local auto stand, but no one knew the driver. He then checked his payment history and found a phone number linked to the UPI transaction. In desperation, he called the number, and a woman answered first and disconnected the call. Upon calling again, the auto driver, Anil ji, picked up. 'Bhaiya, chinta mat kijiye," he assured gently. To the Redditor's surprise and relief, Anil ji confirmed receiving the extra money and even returned Rs 500, despite it costing him Rs 2 in transfer fees. Touched by the gesture, the Redditor sent Rs 100 as a thank-you gift and also called to express his gratitude. Anil ji humbly replied, 'Koi baat nahi bhaiya." Internet Applauds the Kindness The post, shared on August 2, went viral with over 1,700 upvotes and more than 60 comments. Many users praised the driver's honesty, saying it was rare to find such genuine people in big cities. A user commented, 'It is good that the driver was honest and returned you the money, please be extra cautious next time." Another wrote, 'I can understand what you went through. New city can be stressful, and I'm glad you had a good experience." 'Believe me, there are many such people in Mumbai. I honestly don't even recollect how many times people have been helpful," an individual said. The story served as a reminder to many that kindness still exists in everyday life, even in the busiest of cities. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Agency: Last Updated: Kolkata, Aug 5 (PTI) Exide Industries Ltd on Tuesday reported a 24 per cent year-on-year (YoY) rise in its consolidated net profit to Rs 275 crore for the first quarter of the 2025-26 fiscal (FY'26), aided by higher revenues and improved operating efficiencies. The company had posted a net profit of Rs 221 crore in the corresponding period last year. Consolidated revenue from operations rose 5.9 per cent YoY to Rs 4,695 crore in Q1FY'26 from Rs 4,436 crore in the year-ago period of the 2024-25 fiscal (FY'25), while total income stood at Rs 4,723 crore. The battery maker said its consolidated profit before tax rose to Rs 385 crore from Rs 316 crore in the year-ago period. EBITDA margin, on a standalone basis, improved to 12.2 per cent during the quarter, helped by better price realisation, favourable product mix, and gains from cost optimisation measures across manufacturing facilities, the company said. The quarter witnessed double-digit growth in the auto replacement, solar, and industrial UPS segments, though demand remained subdued in the auto OEM and exports verticals, Managing Director & CEO Avik Kumar Roy said in a statement. The company said its lithium-ion cell manufacturing subsidiary, Exide Energy Solutions Ltd (EESL), saw continued project progress, with Rs 300 crore invested in Q1FY'26 and an additional Rs 100 crore in July. The greenfield facility is expected to begin production by the end of FY'26.
