Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2, F77 SuperStreet get new Ballistic+ riding mode. What it offers?
The electric two-wheeler manufacturer claims that this new riding mode offers a revised throttle map for better torque delivery. The company has stated that owners of the older F77 electric motorcycles can also get the same update for their EVs for free. Also, despite the update, the electric bikes from the OEM come without any change in their pricing.
With the Ballistic+ riding mode and a revised throttle map, the overall acceleration of the Ultraviolette EVs has improved. On the Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2, the torque delivery under 30 kmph, which was not very engaging, has been updated. Now the electric bike feels more engaging with a better initial acceleration.
Apart from the revamped throttle map, both the F77 electric motorcycles remain unchanged mechanically. The F77 Mach 2 and F77 SuperStreet get the same 7.1 kWh battery pack that offers a claimed range of 211 km on a single charge. Powering both the electric motorcycles is a 30 kW electric motor, promising a top speed of 155 kmph.
Ultraviolette has introduced two other products as well, including the Shockwave adventure motorcycle and Tesseract electric scooter. Both these electric vehicles are already open for prebooking via the company's website, while deliveries are slated to commence from early next year. It is not clear if both the Ultraviolette Tesseract and Shockwave electric scooter and motorcycle will come equipped with the new Ballistic+ riding mode or not.

Surat targets 50% electric vehicles share on roads by 2030
Surat: Taking a step further in promoting environment-friendly transport in the Diamond City, the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) on Friday launched the Green Vehicle Policy (GVP) 2025 on Friday, setting an ambitious target of at least 50% of all total vehicle sales being electric by 2030. Replacing the earlier Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy 2021, the new framework focuses on the adoption of different alternate fuels like hydrogen-powered vehicles, biofuel-based vehicles, along with EVs. The policy will be implemented for a period of five years. To support the growing number of EV vehicles, over 460 charging stations will be established across the city, ensuring that there is at least one station per sq km, incentivising e-vehicle purchase through subsidies and creating necessary infrastructure. Direct incentives in the form of subsidies will be provided to commercial electric three-wheelers, light commercial vehicles (LCVs), and pink e-autos for women entrepreneurs. Subsidies will vary by vehicle type and segment, making adoption economically viable. Incentives also include exemption from vehicle tax. SMC will create a green vehicle cell, which will coordinate the implementation of the policy through a structured governance framework, including a technical committee and monitoring teams. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mexico: New Senior Apartments (Prices May Surprise You) Senior Apartments | Search Ads Search Now Undo A dedicated Green Vehicle Fund will also be formed, pooling resources from municipal funding, green bonds, CSR contributions, carbon financing, and govt grants. The cell will include officials from SMC, the Regional Transport Office (RTO), electricity distribution companies, traffic police, the members of The Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and experts. "The GVP25 aligns with India's net-zero carbon goals and serves as a roadmap to make Surat a climate-resilient and environmentally-friendly urban centre. Through a combination of technological adoption, public-private collaboration, and citizen engagement, we aim to lead the green mobility revolution in the state," said Rajan Patel, chairman, Standing Committee. Additionally, the policy envisions the creation of green zones and mobility corridors to improve air quality and promote non-polluting transportation options. The development of GV manufacturing and assembling units locally will be promoted. The policy has a scope of projects for battery recycling. Future expansion plans include hydrogen and biofuel technologies through a structured roadmap focused on technology adaptation, infrastructure growth, and demand creation. To enable a seamless experience for EV users, a network of 460 public charging stations will be deployed using the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. Digital platforms, including a One EV App and a web portal, will streamline services and bring transparency to stakeholders. The city will also host a GV Expo on Sept 8, showcasing innovations in GV technology and charging infrastructure. Special focus will be placed on training for safety protocols and emergency response SOPs.

ICRA projects modest growth across Indian auto segments in FY26 amid mixed demand trends
India's automotive sector is expected to witness moderate growth across key segments in FY26, aided by improving macroeconomic conditions, festive demand and infrastructure push, even as concerns persist over supply chain challenges and consumer sentiment, ratings agency ICRA said in its latest outlook. ICRA expects wholesale volumes in the passenger vehicle (PV) segment to grow by a modest 1–4 per cent this fiscal. The segment continues to grapple with elevated inventory levels, production constraints due to shortages of critical components like rare earth magnets used in EVs, and subdued consumer sentiment. Wholesale PV volumes declined by 1.4 per cent year-on-year in Q1 FY2026, and in June 2025, fell by 9 per cent sequentially and 7 per cent on a year-on-year basis, despite discounts offered by OEMs. Inventory levels increased to 55 days by the end of June, according to FADA. Sport utility vehicles (SUVs) remain the most preferred category, contributing 65–66 per cent of total PV volumes. While steady model launches are expected to support demand, headwinds persist for exports due to forex shortages in key African markets and ongoing inflationary pressures. Nevertheless, export volumes showed sequential growth of 14 per cent in June 2025, with Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai maintaining their lead. Two-wheeler projection The two-wheeler segment is projected to grow by 6–9 per cent in FY2026, driven by healthy rural incomes, expectations of a normal monsoon, and recovery in urban demand. While domestic wholesale volumes declined 4.3 per cent year-on-year in June 2025 to 1.5 million units, retail volumes rose by 5.1 per cent, supported by strong rural and semi-urban demand. Electric two-wheelers saw a 5 per cent sequential growth in June, with monthly volumes at 1.05 lakh units and penetration remaining in the 6–7 per cent range. Exports also rose by 34 per cent year-on-year, although currency constraints and inflation remain potential barriers in some markets like Nigeria. Commercial vehicle projection In the commercial vehicle (CV) segment, ICRA anticipates a 3–5 per cent increase in wholesale volumes during FY2026, supported by improving pace of construction and infrastructure activity and a stable economic environment. After a marginal 1.2 per cent decline in FY2025, CV wholesales fell 3.8 per cent year-on-year in June 2025 but rose 1.7 per cent sequentially. Retail sales increased by 6.6 per cent year-on-year in June, indicating inventory correction at dealerships. The bus segment is expected to see relatively stronger growth of 8–10 per cent, aided by replacement demand, while trucks are likely to post modest gains. While demand trends remain mixed and EV production continues to face raw material bottlenecks, ICRA said the upcoming festive season and new product offerings could help support overall automotive industry volumes in the near term.>
