Ola Diamondhead Showcased: 0-100 kmph In 2 Secs, Rs 5 Lakh Target Price
Ola Electric has showcased the prototype of the Diamondhead electric motorcycle at its Sankalp 2025 event. While revealing the details of the electric motorcycle, the brand revealed that it expects to begin production of the machine by 2027. All of it while targeting a price of Rs 5 lakh. This is a significant development because the bike is focused on performance and is claimed to have a 0-100 km/h time of 2 seconds. The Diamondhead features a cutting-edge design. True to its name, it has a diamond-shaped front end, a sleek horizontal LED light strip, an innovative headlamp, and a sharp rear. The bike that was showcased boasted sleek body panels that distinguished it from other electric motorcycles. Also Read: Ola has mentioned that it will use lightweight materials such as space-grade aluminum, carbon fiber, and magnesium in the construction of the Diamondhead, aiming to reduce weight and enhance performance. While features like active aerodynamics and adaptive suspension have been present in motorcycles for some time, the Diamondhead will introduce active ergonomics as well. This feature intends to assist the rider in maintaining better control of the bike's functions by adjusting the handlebars or foot pegs during the ride. Additionally, the Diamondhead will be equipped with safety features like ADAS, traction control, and AI integration. Furthermore, the overall experience is expected to be improved with Ola's development of a 'Smart AR' helmet and smart wearables, creating a cohesive ecosystem with the motorcycle. The power source for the Diamondhead is Ola's Bharat Cell 4680 battery. By the time it enters production, Ola plans to enhance this battery for increased power, extended range, and improved performance. Upon its market release, it will rival other high-end electric motorcycles such as the Ultraviolette F77.

Rs 1,246 crore in traffic fines slapped since 2023 in Kerala, over 63 per cent unpaid
KOCHI: Is a penalty only realised as a punishment when paid? Kerala has slapped motorists with traffic fines worth a staggering Rs 1,246.38 crore since 2023 — but more than 63% of that is still unpaid. In two-and-a-half years, the state has managed to collect only Rs 435.95 crore, leaving a massive Rs 792.43 crore in arrears, exposing glaring gaps in enforcement follow-up. The state has issued a total of 1.40 crore challans since 2023. As per official records, around 91.59 lakh challans are pending disposal. Significantly, Kerala ranks third in the country for the number of e-challans issued for traffic violations, behind only Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh, each with over seven crore e-challans. Kerala currently has around 1.85 crore registered vehicles. Since 2015, over 3.64 crore traffic fines have been issued in the state, bringing in Rs 1,148 crore in revenue. The transport department has issued 1,53,68,075 challans, with traffic police sending out 2,10,41,589 challans in this period. However, when it comes to actual revenue collection, Kerala slips to seventh place nationally. Enforcement surged in 2023 after artificial intelligence (AI)-powered cameras and other electronic surveillance tools were fully integrated into traffic monitoring. The average fine per challan in Kerala is around Rs 890. According to the motor vehicle department, several factors slow down fine recovery. 'Many people miss the challan SMS, often because they change their mobile numbers without updating them in the system, or simply ignore messages. Sometimes, the number on record belongs to a vehicle agent or a previous owner. There's also confusion over whether the notice is real or fake,' said Transport Commissioner Nagaraju Chakilam. 'Challans left unpaid for 30 days are sent to a virtual court, requiring formal legal proceedings instead of a quick fine payment,' he added. Yet, experts say the numbers don't necessarily translate into safer roads. 'We need more police officers on the ground' 'Relying mainly on cameras isn't enough. We need more police officers physically present — at least one every 25 km on highways. Cameras can't detect offences like road rage. Only when drivers fear police presence do they follow the rules,' said road safety expert Upendra Narayanan. 'The roads here are in poor shape. Even after paying taxes, tolls, and fines, motorists barely manage an average of 20 km/h. This kind of enforcement mostly squeezes ordinary people for revenue. Real road safety will come only when we have more trained officers on the ground, supported by modern vehicles and equipment,' he added. stacking up 1.4 cr challans issued for traffic offences in state since 2023 91.6 lakh of the total challans issued are pending disposal, as per official records
