TVS Flame SR 125 made for India

After a long gap we are again back with a post, where we would like to highlight one of the innovative use of the R&D derived for a specific region and ease of use.

My recent visit to Tamil Nadu gave an insight on the Indian two wheeler industry. I observed a unique trend among the owners that was very innovative that almost 90% of the people having a motorcycle installed a special leather bag over their fuel tank for practical purpose like carrying small things/gadgets.

You can see the images of the same below:

Imported cars are being assembled in India illegally to Evade duties

The special squad of Deputy Commissioner of Police Niket Kaushik, Zone IX, which recently busted a gang selling imported bikes after evading duties, has now learnt that the gang is also involved in a racket of assembling luxury cars locally.

A few days ago, the squad seized some super bikes from the suburbs that had been assembled in India with imported parts, and arrested one Kunjan Chaudhuri.

Investigations now reveal that the gang is also involved in importing parts of luxury cars and assembling the vehicles locally. By doing so, it works out comparatively cheaper, as they avoid paying Customs duty.
