New Ather Electric Scooter Headlight Design Patent Revealed
It is no secret that Ather Energy is working on a new electric scooter, which is likely to be positioned below the Rizta, a family scooter. The new electric scooter will be more affordable than any of the current Ather models and is likely to be comfort and commuter oriented rather being sporty. Now, we have an image of the design patent of the headlight assembly of the new electric scooter, which is rectangular in shape and could likely house one or two LED projector units. The design has been billed as the 'front shroud of the vehicle'.
The new headlight assembly could also have an LED lamp and is likely to get DRLs, which one can see, are bordering the rectangular headlight. What is also interesting to note that this will be the first Ather model to have a headlight on the handlebar. The 450 series and the Rizta have their headlights on the front apron and both models have a very distinct headlight design compared to the one seen in the design patent. Now, it is unlikely that the new headlight assembly will be used on a motorcycle because the cutouts where the handlebar will fit, is usually seen on scooters.
Presently, prices of the Ather 450 range start at Rs. 1.20 lakh for the Ather 450 and Rs. 1.90 lakh for the 450 Apex. Prices of the Rizta start at Rs. 1.05 lakh. Expect the prices of the new Ather scooter to start below Rs. 1 lakh.

Long-pending central govt's infra projects in Belagavi back on track
Belagavi: Several long-pending central govt's infrastructure projects in and around Belagavi are finally gaining momentum after years of delay, primarily due to land acquisition hurdles. The breakthrough comes with the combined efforts of DC Mohammad Roshan and Belagavi MP Jagadish Shettar , who took these stalled projects as a top priority. Key among them is the much-awaited Belagavi-Dharwad railway line via Kittur, a 73-km project sanctioned in 2019 during the tenure of former MP and MoS for railways, the late Suresh Angadi. Despite funding from the Centre, the project was held up for years due to land-related issues. However, DC Roshan recently announced that land acquisition is now complete, and the work is expected to commence shortly. The Halaga-Macche bypass highway, a vital route connecting Pune-Bengaluru NH-4 and Belagavi-Goa national highway, sanctioned in 2009, also faced prolonged delay due to legal land disputes. With the district administration actively mediating and convincing landowners, the impasse has been resolved, and construction is underway. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Another major infrastructure project, the Belagavi Ring Road was sanctioned in 2018. The Rs 3,800 crore project to be executed in three phases, received Rs 1,622 crore for the first phase of 34 km. DC Roshan recently confirmed that 80% of the land acquisition is now complete. This ambitious project, sanctioned under the Bharatmala project, will help resolve the traffic congestion in Belagavi city. "Most of these projects were delayed despite being sanctioned, because of land-related issues. After I became MP, I prioritised these issues, met Union ministers, held review meetings with officials, and visited the sites. Today, we are seeing the results. I expect the required land to be fully acquired in the next 2-3 months and the tender process to begin within 5-6 months," said MP Jagadish Shettar. He credited DC Mohammad Roshan for playing a vital role in resolving bureaucratic and on-ground challenges related to land acquisition. In addition, Shettar informed that land acquisition for Belagavi-Hunagund-Raichur highway, a Rs 1,452 crore project, has also reached near completion. He further assured that the new terminal at Belagavi airport will be ready by March 2026, marking a step toward upgrading the facility to international standards.

Mining industry seeks Rs 15,000 per kWh subsidy for electric trucks
The domestic mining industry has sought a Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 per kWh subsidy on electric Heavy Earth Moving Machinery (HEMM) to encourage their use. According to a report by the Federation of Indian Mineral Industries (FIMI), the upfront costs of electric trucks is a major entry barrier to their adoption. 'Electric trucks and other HEMMs are currently priced at nearly three times (3x) that of their diesel counterparts. Such price disparity discourages potential buyers,' a FIMI report said. The industry body report also recommended a 5% Goods and Services Tax rate on retrofit kits used to convert diesel trucks to electric. 'Retrofit kits currently do not have a dedicated classification. Instead, the individual components of these kits are taxed separately often at rates exceeding 18% which undermines the economic viability of retrofitting,' the report said.
