Classic Legends To Launch Updated Yezdi Adventure Next Month
Classic Legends, the parent company of Jawa, BSA and Yezdi will launch a new motorcycle on May 15, 2025. Now we already have a 'block-your-date' from the company, which hints at a 'wild motorcycle'. Our sources say that it is most likely to be the Yezdi Adventure, but with a new design. The motorcycle was updated and launched in August 2024, little less than a year ago, with significant tweaks to the design, engine and features. You can read our review of that motorcycle in the link below.
We understand that the motorcycle could see a completely new design, which will be a stark departure from its current avatar and the new model could see a distinct design change, which will be a welcome move, given its resemblance to the erstwhile Royal Enfield Himalayan 411. Now there is little to no details available but expect Yezdi to keep the details under tight wraps until the launch.
The engine and chassis will likely stay the same. The Yezdi Adventure currently gets a 334 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled motor which makes 29.68 bhp which is around 0.6 bhp lesser than before. But the torque output stays the same at 29.84 Nm. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox. The feature list includes an onboard USB charger, Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation and three settings for the ABS - road, rain and off-road. In the off-road mode, the ABS on the rear wheel can be fully disconnected.
The motorcycle is currently priced between Rs. 2.10 lakh to Rs. 2.20 lakh (ex-showroom) and we expect the prices to go up marginally. The Yezdi Adventure can be a good alternate to something like the Hero XPulse 210, KTM 250 Adventure and the Royal Enfield Himalayan.

West Mumbai, June 11 (UNI) Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Wednesday gave direction to immediately complete the ongoing work of Indapur and Mangaon bypass roads on Mumbai-Goa National Highway for convenience of motorists.

MSRTC to shun pvt contractors, buy own buses: Sarnaik
Pune: State transport minister Pratap Sarnaik on Wednesday said henceforth, MSRTC will not procure buses under the Gross Cost Contract (GCC) model but will own the vehicles. The GCC model involves public transport bodies partnering with private agencies to procure, operate and maintain buses. The minister, while speaking on the sidelines of Commercial Vehicles Forum-2025 in Pune, said, "We want to own our buses. MSRTC aims to procure 5,000 self-owned buses annually, of which 1,000 will be electric smart buses, while the remaining will be diesel-run. We plan to procure 25,000 buses in the next five years." Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) pays a fixed price per km to private agencies for the service. The private players bear the cost of the upkeep of the vehicles. "The state govt will provide funds to procure the buses. The number of buses in MSRTC's fleet has drastically reduced, so the decision was made to procure our own buses," Sarnaik said. The state transport body's move comes after it received only 216 e-buses out of the planned 5,150 e-buses from Olectra Greentech and Evey Trans Pvt Ltd. The contract, worth Rs 10,000 crore, was signed in 2023, under which the buses were to be delivered this year. However, after only 216 of the buses were delivered to the state transport body, Sarnaik ordered the termination of the contract last month. The minister, however, reversed the decision and told the consortium to deliver the buses adhering to a fresh timeline. As per the revised timeline, 625 buses would be delivered to MSRTC in 2025; 2,100 buses in 2026, and the remaining buses in 2027. The new e-buses will include AI-enabled CCTV cameras that will monitor driver behaviour. If the driver yawns or uses a cellphone while driving, the system will alert passengers and trigger a danger alarm. Taking into consideration the safety of women passengers, the cameras will also monitor passengers' movements and activities. "The buses will be equipped with foam-based fire extinguishers and will have systems to prevent unauthorised entry when the buses are parked or locked. Any such attempt will trigger an alarm," Sarnaik said. At present, MSRTC has around 15,000 buses in its fleet. As many as 2,600 regular buses will be added to the current fleet by the end of the year, and a few existing buses will be scrapped. Regular commuters, however, said the transport body has been overpromising and underdelivering. "Some or the other plan is being announced each week, but there are no changes on the ground," Girish Sahne, a regular MSRTC commuter, told TOI. Meanwhile, the minister said the authorities concerned are working on resolving the issue of the Shivajinagar bus stand. "Deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar held a meeting recently. The issue will be resolved soon. Also, the plan to redevelop 72 bus stations is in progress. We are focusing on the cleanliness and security of bus depots and stations. After the alleged Swargate rape case, we are focusing on the safety of women. So, we are looking at smart buses with facilities powered by AI," the minister said.

Highest package, Dubai placement on cards: Three from Govt Polytechnic Nagpur secure Rs 12.72 lakh package after engg diploma
In a first, three Diploma students from government polytechnic, Nagpur have secured an annual package of Rs.12.72 lakh by Voltas limited. All three of them, including one girl, are students of Diploma in Mechanical Engineering and will be placed as technicians outside of India, most probably in Dubai. Calling it to be 'historic placement record by any polytechnic' Dr. Vinod Mohitkar, Director at the DTE said, 'This proves that diploma students with quality education can also bag high-paying jobs with skill-oriented and industry-relevant training. This development is opening major opportunities for rural students through diploma education. Industry is looking for relevant talent having focused training.' According to Mohitakar, on an average, Diploma students from Polytechnic get approximately Rs.3 lakh per annum. And the Government Polytechnic in Nagpur has been one of those institutes which have shown good placements for their students for the past few years. This polytechnic also allows other institutes from nearby localities to participate in placements. Principal of the government Polytechnic in Nagpur Dr. Rajendra Mogare, emphasized the importance of the strong existence of Training and Placement Office (TPO) at their institute for effective relations with potential recruiters. 'Additionally, thanks to DTE, in the past few years, various changes have been brought to the curriculum of Diploma in engineering to make our students ready to work in industry. Irrespective of the branch of Diploma a student is pursuing, they are given knowledge of artificial intelligence. Furthermore, we have a Centre for Excellence at our institute where real-time industry projects are worked upon allowing a great exposure to our students,' said Mogare adding that out of approximately 600 students from the institute 582 participated for placements and all of them were placed successfully. 'Students have bagged pay-packages in range from Rs.1.82lakh to Rs.3.3lakh per annum. These three students bagged the highest pay-package offered. After taking additional training by the company in thier Mumbai office for a few days, these students will then head to Dubai for jobs. The company required trained mechanics who have all new-age skills,' said Mogare. The Government Polytechnic in Nagpur also has a unique tie-up with companies such as Tata Motors and Wipro wherein select students from their institute are hired by these companies and get to pursue engineering degree in relevant branches at a reputed engineering institute.
