Why does Mumbai’s T2 airport parking have to be so messed up despite being expensive? Vehicles parked and driven haphazardly. Dirty. No attendants except at payment counters. Took a good 15min just to exit the building Mumbai Airport Adani Group

The kind of bike you need for the upcoming rainy season. Good upgrades for the 2025 Yezdi Adventure and even better price. Unpopular opinion but sub 500cc bikes are apt for roads like ours - after a point bigger bikes just become cumbersome for average riders like me

While the 580km-range Enyaq electric crossover, confirmed earlier, has now fallen out of favour, Skoda’s next and possibly only launch for India this year will be a saloon - most likely the all-new Superb

Not sure why carmakers love to hide features on cars - especially something as elementary as door handles. I am sure no customer has specifically asked for it instagram.com/p/DLCA5xKNjVQ/…

Prices of the Harrier.ev undercuts the XEV 9e’s, despite having a bigger battery - 65kWh vs 59kWh. I think the reason is the platform - Mahindra’s INGLO more grounds-up new than Tata’s acti.ev

In-car indicated fuel efficiency figures usually don’t match the real world. But the Citroen Basalt AT that I have been using is always accurate to the decimal. PS: 10.1kpl is only city driving
