2025 KTM RC 200 Updated With New TFT Colour Display, Switchgear
KTM recently updated the RC 200 with the addition of a new paint scheme and OBD-2B compliant powertrain. Now, the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer has extended the list of updates with the addition of a new TFT colour instrument cluster to the bike. It is to be noted that these updates follow a recent price increase by the brand for its various models sold in the Indian market. At the time, the manufacturer increased the prices of RC 200, 250 Duke, RC 390, and 390 Duke.
The new 5-inch TFT colour display used on the KTM RC 200 is shared with other models of the brand, including the 200 Duke. Replacing the LCD dash instrument cluster, it uses bonded glass, which offers scratch resistance. Furthermore, it is more robust and hence can withstand adverse conditions for a longer duration compared to the previous unit.
The new screen enables Bluetooth connectivity for the rider, opening gates to a range of connectivity features via the KTM app. Furthermore, it offers call notification, music, and navigation. To toggle through the options, the rider can use a new switch gear with 4-way menu switches.
This is one of the necessary updates needed to give the bike a better position against its rivals. For instance, the Yamaha R15M comes with a colour TFT display with connectivity features. Other rivals like Bajaj Pulsar RS200, Hero Karizma XMR, and Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 also have similar features on offer.
The remaining specifications stay unchanged, with the motorcycle utilizing a split-trellis tubular frame. It is equipped with 43 mm front USD forks and a rear end featuring a 10-step adjustable monoshock, both provided by WP Apex. The braking system consists of a 320 mm disc with radially mounted calipers at the front and a 230 mm disc at the rear with a floating caliper. These features result in a saddle height of 835 mm and a kerb weight of 160 kg.
The KTM RC 200 is powered by the same 199.5 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. It is tuned to deliver 24 hp of power and 19 Nm of maximum torque. A six-speed gearbox transfers this power to the wheels. With all of this, the bike comes priced at Rs 2.54 lakh (ex-showroom).

Indian R&D is lagging. Tata Motors is an exception within India Inc
Research and Development Intensity (RDI) measures how much a country or company invests in innovation. At the national level, RDI is the ratio of R&D expenditure to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). At the corporate level, it's a percentage of sales a company spent on R&D. Higher RDI signals a stronger commitment to technological advancement, essential for India's Viksit Bharat 2047 vision—a goal to become a developed nation by 2047. What is RDI and why does it matter? India's unique welfare capitalism model has brought the country's poverty prevalence down from 80 per cent in 1947 to less than 10 per cent in 2025. Along the way, India transformed from a primarily agrarian economy to a global player in pharmaceuticals, software, and digital infrastructure. However, a critical challenge persists: India's chronically low technological innovation hinders its ability to compete as a net exporter of high-value goods and services. India's RDI lag: A global comparison India's national RDI in 2020 was just 0.65%, according to the World Bank. This is significantly lower than innovation leaders like Israel (5.8%), South Korea (4.8%), the US (3.42%), and China (2.41%). Before 1999, India's RDI surpassed China's, but China's aggressive R&D investments have since outpaced India. Furthermore, India's RDI peaked at 0.86% in 2008 and has since declined, unlike peer countries that show steady RDI growth. This persistent shortfall could jeopardise India's ambitions for Viksit Bharat 2047. Structural imbalance in India's RDI Among global innovation leaders, the private sector drives over 75% of national RDI. In India, however, the government funds about 50% of total RDI, per GERD data from the Economic Survey of India. This might be construed as strong government participation, but it actually reflects weak participation from India Inc. At 0.32% of GDP, the government's RDI spending is on par with peer countries. The gap lies in the private sector's weak contribution, which limits India's ability to innovate at scale. For example, India Inc.'s low R&D investment contrasts with global giants like Toyota or Volkswagen, which consistently allocate 5–6% of sales to R&D. Closing this technological gap requires India's private sector to step up. Also read: Creativity is a crime in India. Let's accept vegan ice cream as the only honest innovation Tata Motors: A shining exception Not all Indian companies lag in RDI. A 2024 report by the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) reveals that Tata Motors stands out as a remarkable outlier. In 2022–2023, Tata Motors invested Rs 20,226 crore in R&D, equivalent to 5.86% of its sales. This matches global automotive leaders like Toyota (5–6%) and Ford (5–6%), and approaches Volkswagen Group (6.8%). Remarkably, Tata Motors' R&D budget exceeded the combined R&D spending of India's other 30 largest companies by market capitalisation. Inside Tata Motors' R&D success To understand what is happening at Tata Motors, just look under the hood of its consolidated entity, which comprises Tata Motors (India) and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in the United Kingdom. According to the 80th Integrated Annual Report for 2024-2025, the group spent Rs 33,569 crore on R&D, with Rs 2,089 crore from the Indian entity and the rest from JLR. A sceptic might dismiss this as mere accounting magic, but that would be far from the truth. JLR's continued investment in R&D has placed it at the forefront of the electric vehicle (EV) revolution, as evident by the early success of the Jaguar I-PACE. This sustained investment has enabled Tata Motors to dominate on two separate fronts: JLR competes at the high end of the global luxury EV market (alongside brands like Bentley), while Tata Motors leads India's EV market, dominating the domestic segment. In this light, Tata Motors' R&D spending has not only been defensible but also strategically prescient. Did Tata Motors foresee in 2007–2008 that acquiring a distressed JLR would one day lead to its leadership in the EV space? Likely not. But what it did recognise was a legacy brand with deep engineering roots and a culture of bold technological bets. This strategy offers a blueprint for India Inc. India's private sector can learn from Tata Motors' outward-looking, risk-tolerant acquisition strategy to improve their own technological innovation. With strong balance sheets and growing ambitions, now may be the right time to go shopping for global capabilities and close the technological gap.

Tecno India says building components ecosystem with Dixon, to expand R&D focus
NEW DELHI: Transsion Group 's Tecno said domestic manufacturing of electronic components will support innovation in the country and contribute to the brand's long-term success in India. 'The ( electronic components manufacturing ) scheme supports local innovation, which is critical to our long-term success in India. We plan to continue to expand our local research & development and production capabilities to tailor our products to the needs of Indian consumers,' Arijeet Talapatra, chief executive officer (CEO), Tecno India , told ETTelecom. He said that Tecno and homegrown contract electronics manufacturer, Dixon Technologies , are jointly working to build a domestic electronics component ecosystem in India, supported by the ECMS 2.0 scheme. Atul Lall, MD of Dixon, said during the company's most recent earnings call that Transsion and Dixon have a joint venture (JV) in the electronic components domain to deepen manufacturing initiatives domestically. The Central government, earlier this year, notified the electronics components manufacturing scheme (ECMS) with an outlay of over ₹23,000-crore, which aims to drive the local manufacturing of sub-assemblies, bare components, and selected bare components such as display and camera sub-assemblies, passive components, multi-layered printed circuit boards (PCBs), Li-ion cells, and others. Ashwini Vaishnaw, union minister for electronics & IT, told news agency PTI in a recent interview that the government has received 70 applications for this scheme, with a majority of applicants from the small and medium enterprises sector. Talapatra further said that Tecno is actively pursuing to develop localised artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and collaborating to improve the design of its smartphones to differentiate against rivals. It has established a new R&D centre in Noida with up to 60 engineers, which will drive the development of new AI features and regional product design for India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. According to the executive, the smartphone maker expects to grow at 200% year-on-year in the ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 5G smartphone segment , led by the rural markets, as demand in the urban regions starts maturing. 'We are strategically intensifying our focus on the ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 smartphone segment, which is currently the fastest-growing category in India, to cater to aspirational consumers seeking premium features at accessible prices,' the chief executive said. 'The demand for affordable yet feature-rich 5G phones is also growing rapidly in tier-2 and tier-3 cities,' he added. Transssion operates three brands in India – iTel, for budget-grade feature phones and smartphones; Tecno, for mid-range devices; and Infinix, for the premium, or flagship segment. Tecno India, according to the top executive, is focusing on a balanced growth strategy. 'We are emphasising profitability and volume at the same time. Backed by a strong global supply chain, we are aiming at further cost efficiency, and we will launch smartphones across all price points, including a ₹80,000 Tecno device,' he said.

Chinese mobile companies making more in India to dim regulatory glare
New Delhi: Chinese smartphone brands are increasingly outsourcing production to Indian contract manufacturers, benefitting the likes of Dixon Technologies and Bhagwati Products (Micromax), following what industry executives see as an unofficial nudge from the having excess capacities in their own manufacturing facilities in India, Chinese smartphone brands are outsourcing a large part of production to companies that are participants in the government's production-linked incentive scheme, industry executives and market trackers are not just outsourcing volumes, but also shifting the risk of government interventions and scrutiny, they said. They are on course to become more asset-light in India, where they face a tough regulatory environment. Offloading manufacturing — which incurs huge capital and operating expenses and has additional compliance issues — helps in cutting costs at a time when they are facing a liquidity crisis and stressed balance sheets, executives aware of the development told ET. According to Counterpoint Research, Oppo's shipments from its Noida factory fell 34% on-year in 2024 due to the increasing contribution of outsourced manufacturing by Dixon Technologies and Bhagwati Products. At a recent earnings call, Dixon Technologies chief executive Atul Lall projected the sales volume in India's smartphone market to be around 150 million a year. 'Out of that 150-odd million, Android space is around 135-140 million. Various brands are manufacturing in-house. And the outsourcing opportunity is around 90 million. And including our new tie up of Vivo, we are targeting for around 60-65 million by next year,' he said. Dixon made 28.3 million smartphones in fiscal 2025. Its projection for the ongoing fiscal year is 43-44 million. Lall said Dixon will be manufacturing 7-8 million smartphones for Realme (an Oppo subsidiary), which will be expanded in the next few years. It will also be supplying around 15-16 million smartphones to Vivo in the January-March quarter of 2026, by when it expects to get government approvals for its joint venture with the Chinese company. Brands such as Transsion and Vivo have also signed strategic partnerships with Dixon to form joint ventures where the volumes and revenues are split between the two partners. 'For Chinese companies, there seems to be an informal diktat from the government of India encouraging them to have some part of their volumes manufactured by Indian players. This is happening even though these companies have significant unutilised in-house manufacturing capacity,' an industry executive who did not wish to be named told ET. Samsung, Oppo and Vivo each have around 60 million units of capacity in India, while their annual sales are around 20-25 million, market trackers said. Emailed queries to Oppo and Bhagwati didn't elicit any response till press time Tuesday. 'Given the low margins in assembly, to have a positive unit economics you need a large scale, which is there with EMS (electronics manufacturing services) players like us. You can only achieve so much scale with making for your own brand. The trend of in-house manufacturing moving towards outsourcing, it's primarily to deleverage their balance sheets,' Lall told ET. Another industry executive told ET that Chinese brands are choosing to make only their high-end and flagship models in-house, outsourcing the entry-level models to Indian contract manufacturers. 'The budget segment of the smartphone market in India has not been growing for the past three-four years. In fact, it has been declining. Making these budget phones in-house is becoming less economical for the brands themselves,' the executive said. Recently signed partnerships with Chinese ODMs (original design manufacturers) by Indian contract manufacturers are also facilitating increasing outsourcing to them. Dixon has tied up with Longcheer, the largest Chinese ODM, and is making smartphones for Realme. Meanwhile, Bhagwati has formed a strategic joint venture with Huaqin, the second-largest ODM from China, and is churning volumes for Oppo and Vivo. 'With these ODM partnerships in place, Dixon and Bhagwati are in a stronger position to attract more outsourced manufacturing from Chinese brands who are far more comfortable working with fellow Chinese manufacturers than Indian brands,' one of the executives said. The executive added that Indian players have supervisors from the Chinese ODMs in place to monitor the shift in production from their in-house facilities. Indian contract manufacturers, who are beneficiaries of the PLI scheme, are also offering competitive pricing to the Chinese companies. 'A large portion of the PLI incentives, around 80% of it, are passed down to the customers, with the EMS companies keeping only a small part of it, helping customers achieve cost parity with manufacturing in places like China,' one of the executives said.
