Mint6 days ago
Bajaj Auto has introduced the 2025 Pulsar NS400Z into the Indian market with a starting ex-showroom price of ₹ 1.92 lakh. Although the motorcycle features only minor updates to its design, the manufacturer has made significant improvements to the engine and incorporated new features based on customer feedback.
The engine, a 373 cc unit derived from KTM, remains unchanged in size. However, the valvetrain has been revised, and new cam timings along with an upgraded intake duct have been implemented. The piston has been redesigned as a forged component, enhancing thermal stability, reducing friction, and increasing durability. As a result, the power output has increased from 40 PS to 43 PS. Additionally, Bajaj has redesigned the radiator cowl to enhance heat dissipation, moving it away from the rider's legs.
Thanks to the engine improvements, the motorcycle's top speed has been raised from 150 kmph to 157 kmph. The time taken to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph has decreased from 7.5 seconds to 6.4 seconds, and the 0 to 60 km/h acceleration time has been cut down from 3.2 seconds to 2.7 seconds. Bajaj states that despite these performance enhancements, there should be no negative impact on the motorcycle's fuel efficiency.
Apart from the engine updates, the motorcycle now features radial tires on both the front and rear wheels. The new tires are Apollo Alpha H1 radial tires, which are known for providing good grip, and the rear tire has been widened to a 150-section. Bajaj has also added a quickshifter to the Pulsar NS400Z, allowing riders to shift gears without using the clutch. However, this feature is only available in Sports mode. The motorcycle also now uses sintered brake pads to reduce braking distance.
Speaking about the launch, Sumeet Narang, President of Marketing at Bajaj Auto Ltd, said, 'The Pulsar NS400Z was built to set new benchmarks in accessible performance. Over the past year, we've listened closely to rider feedback and are proud to deliver a sharper, more powerful machine. With engineering upgrades and a first-of-its-kind clutch-less, full-throttle gear-shifting system co-developed with Bosch, the new NS400Z continues to push the limits of what a streetfighter can be. As we look ahead, our focus remains on elevating the Pulsar experience with purposeful upgrades that responds to the ever-evolving needs of Pulsar riders.'

Renewed optimism in Canada-India economic ties, says business council leader

Canadian investors and businesses are looking at India with renewed optimism against the backdrop of attempts by both countries to recondition their bilateral ties, said Victor T. Thomas, president and CEO of the Canada-India Business Council. 'The new Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has certainly signalled the opportunity to engage with India, including inviting Prime Minister [Narendra] Modi to the G-7 Summit. In many ways, this was a reset in Canada-India relations, as trade diversification has been a major focus in Canada in 2025.' This gesture was more than symbolic — it demonstrated a strategic recognition of India's growing global economic importance. PM Carney's tone and early actions have re-established some trust on the India file and reignited some bilateral momentum. The business community sees this as an opportunity to rebuild and grow the commercial relationship and hopefully finally sign an Early Progress Trade Agreement after our closest allies, like Australia, and most recently, the U.K., have paved the way,' Mr. Thomas said. Mr. Thomas said that the business community is encouraged by recent signals arising from the meeting of the Prime Ministers and the move to restore the respective High Commissioners in Ottawa and New Delhi. India and Canada withdrew their respective High Commissioners in 2024, following allegations that Indian agents had orchestrated the killing of a Khalistani separatist in Canada. 'The business community values stability and predictability and has continued to make deals and stay active despite recent diplomatic challenges. These are encouraging signals for long-term business planning and I'm cautiously optimistic that relations will continue to improve,' said Mr. Thomas. According to Mr. Thomas, India presents enormous potential for Canadian firms looking to diversify beyond the U.S. market. Canada and the U.S. are locked in a trade war. 'Canadian companies already active in India are seeing real success, on the investment side of things, particularly in infrastructure and real estate. This year, investments from Canada into India — both direct and indirect — hovers around CA $100 billion! There are still many untapped opportunities to explore and with complementary strengths in sectors like agri-food, energy, education, and resources, there's far more we can achieve together,' he said.

Remove Ads US President Donald Trump on Wednesday hinted at the announcement of a possible trade agreement with India, saying 'maybe' another deal was on the made the remarks during a bilateral meeting with the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain at the White House."We have another deal coming up maybe with India," Trump was quoted as statement comes even as a fifth round of talks between Indian and US trade officials is underway in Washington, with the two sides working toward a proposed bilateral trade agreement (BTA).Earlier this week, Trump had indicated that the India pact may follow the contours of the recently finalised trade agreement with Indonesia. Under that deal, the Southeast Asian country will offer complete market access to US goods, while its own exports will face a 19% duty in the addition, Indonesia has committed to purchasing USD 15 billion in US energy, USD 4.5 billion in American agricultural products, and 50 Boeing to reporters, Trump added, 'India is basically working along that same line. We are going to have access into India. You have to understand, we had no access to any of these countries. Our people couldn't go in, and now we are getting access because of what we are doing with the tariffs…'The US has been pressing India to reduce duties on a range of products, including dairy, automobiles (especially electric vehicles), wines, apples, and genetically modified crops. In return, India is seeking duty relief on key export items like textiles, gems and jewellery, leather goods, chemicals, and experts have warned that any agreement modelled too closely on the Indonesia deal could harm India's domestic sectors. The Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) raised concerns over the lack of reciprocity in the proposed terms.'A bad deal, especially one that removes India's tariffs without reciprocal benefits, could be worse than no deal at all,' said GTRI founder Ajay Srivastava. He added that India must 'negotiate transparently, guard against one-sided outcomes, and not succumb to pressure for quick, symbolic agreements that compromise long-term economic interests.'India has so far resisted giving tariff concessions in sensitive sectors such as dairy, which it has never opened to any FTA partner. It is also pushing the US to remove or reduce the additional 26% tariffs it has imposed, along with duties on steel (50%) and autos (25%). Washington, in turn, has postponed the imposition of new tariffs on India until August two nations are targeting an interim agreement in the coming months, with the aim to finalise the first tranche of the BTA by September– trade between the two countries has remained robust, with India's merchandise exports to the US rising 21.78% to USD 17.25 billion in April-May this fiscal, while imports increased by 25.8% to USD 8.87 billion.
