Keeway RR 300 Launched In India At Rs 1.99 Lakh- Rivals TVS Apache RR 310
Starting with the appearance, the Keeway RR 300 comes with an aggressive, sporty appeal. It gets boomerang-shaped LED DRLs, complemented by the twin-headlamp setup. All of this is brought together by a layered design for the fairing with a slim, raked tail section. To go with its sporty persona, the brand has included the 'Ride Rebel' decal below the tank. This is available in three colour options, including white, black, and red.
The Keeway RR 300 is based on a trellis frame hidden under the fully-faired outer shell. It is equipped with USD forks up front and a monoshock at the rear end. Braking is the responsibility of disc brakes at both the front and rear with dual-channel ABS. The bike also gets a fully digital instrument cluster and a 12-litre fuel tank. It has a 110/70 R17 tyre in the front and a 140/60 R17 tyre in the back.
At heart, the Keeway RR 300 gets a 292 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine kicking out 27 hp at 8,750 rpm and 25 Nm while revving at 7,000 rpm. This unit comes mated to a six-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch. Using this power, the bike can achieve a top speed of up to 139 kmph.

Delhi To File Review Petition In Supreme Court On Older Vehicle Ban
New Delhi: The Delhi government is weighing the option of filing a review petition in the Supreme Court against its order banning overaged petrol and diesel vehicles. Senior officials said on Thursday that the Transport and Environment departments have been directed to carry out a detailed study on the policy's implementation and impact. The two departments have been asked to evaluate the effectiveness of current end-of-life vehicle (ELV) guidelines, challenges in enforcement, public and stakeholder feedback, and the overall effect of these measures on Delhi's air quality. "The government may file a review petition in the top court based on the findings and reports submitted by both departments," a Delhi government official told NDTV. Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa confirmed the move, saying the departments are working independently to assess the outcomes of the policy on the ground. "The Environment and Transport departments are studying the guidelines, their impact on the public, and the benefits and consequences related to air quality," said Mr Sirsa. "Once both reports are submitted, the government will take a final decision on whether to approach the court." The development comes weeks after the government relaunched a strict enforcement drive in July, targeting overaged vehicles - petrol vehicles older than 15 years and diesel vehicles older than 10 years. The drive included a ban on fuel supply to such vehicles but was soon paused following strong public backlash and what officials described as "critical operational and infrastructural challenges." The pause in enforcement also follows a letter from Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, who wrote to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta urging a review of the Supreme Court's 2018 directive, citing concerns about regional disparity. "How can a vehicle banned as unfit in Delhi run lawfully in other cities? This is against equal treatment," Mr Saxena wrote, calling for a uniform policy across the National Capital Region (NCR). He also urged that age-based rules be revisited to ensure they are proportionate, fair, and not arbitrary. Officials said the review being conducted by the departments will also detail the pollution-control measures taken over the past five months and their outcomes. Minister Sirsa, in a letter to the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) earlier, had argued that Delhi's infrastructure and public transport ecosystem are currently not equipped to support a sweeping ban that heavily impacts lower-income commuters and small vehicle operators. The final reports from both departments are expected to be submitted in the coming weeks, after which the Delhi Cabinet will take a call on whether to move the Supreme Court. As Delhi continues to grapple with the dual pressures of deteriorating air quality and public resistance to stringent enforcement, the city's next legal step could set a precedent for how Indian metros balance climate goals with urban realities.

Skid & Bleed: Blame Cement Road & I-Block Gap
1 2 Nagpur: On Wednesday morning, a series of accidents on Ambazari Road again exposed a road design flaw that has worryingly become common across Nagpur: Uneven surface level of the main concrete road and adjoining interlocking (I) block patches. In a chilling video that has gone viral, residents can be seen pointing to the spot where five people — including an elderly man and woman — fell due to a deep gap and dangerous surface level difference. Locals even placed stones to prevent further mishaps. "This road is a trap. We've had enough," said a bystander, as a crowd gathered. As the video went viral, the state Public Works Department (PWD) hurriedly started repairing the road patch on Thursday afternoon. Workers were seen removing the I-blocks alongside the defective road and realigning it with the road height. This particular stretch was constructed by the PWD. Alarmingly, though, this road design flaw isn't a folly limited to only one agency. Similar conditions prevail across major stretches including Pratap Nagar, East High Court Road, Khamla, the Inner Ring Road, and Residency Road, owned by several agencies like Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT), Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC), and National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), putting thousands of daily commuters at risk. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Swelling and internal bleeding in the brain, help this baby Donate For Health Donate Now Undo Two-wheeler riders are the worst affected, with tyres getting caught in gaping voids that remain hidden during rains. Tragically, it's a disaster fuelled by negligence, not ignorance. Over Rs 2,000 crore was spent by the NMC and other road-owning agencies to convert tar roads into cement concrete — touted as a durable, low-maintenance solution. But the problem lies in the poorly maintained I-block stretches constructed alongside cement roads, for future utility installations. Many of these patches have either sunk or developed wide gaps, creating an unending series of fall zones. To avoid bumpy rides over these sections, most two-wheeler riders stick to the smoother cement road. But when heavy vehicles approach from behind or the opposite direction, they are forced to veer left, often losing balance while transitioning onto the sunken I-blocks, resulting in crashes and injuries. In July 2024, the Bombay high court's Nagpur bench, comprising Justices Nitin Sambre and Abhay Mantri, slammed the poor quality and alignment of many roads. The bench observed that even freshly laid cement roads were riddled with drainage issues, waterlogging, and poor design. The judges ordered the formation of an expert committee to address the problem, but ground realities remain unchanged. Following the court's strong remarks, NMC chief engineer Leena Upadhey assured that surveys would be conducted and followed by repairs. "We are identifying accident-prone areas caused by uneven I-blocks," she said. A year later, the promises remain unfulfilled. A senior traffic cop also admitted that the uneven transition between cement concrete surfaces and adjoining interlocking (I) blocks are causing accidents, and they would be approaching the NMC's traffic department and other road-owning agencies to correct the problem. Team TOI found major faults in areas like Ram Nagar, Great Nag Road, VIP Road, and North Ambazari Road, where multiple riders have been injured. "We've complained, sent videos, but nothing changes. Do they need someone to die before they act?" asked Ramesh Rangari, a resident of Imamwada. Experts from VNIT have urged the NMC to implement a Pavement Management System, a scientific approach to ensure surface level uniformity. Prof Vishrut Landge of VNIT's Civil Engineering Department said, "It's not just poor planning — it's administrative apathy. These roads are not fit for public use." He added that uneven surface levels are causing the accidents. "This can be repaired. The engineers have to pay attention while executing the work. More than 15mm of level difference causes such accidents if the vehicle speed is more than 25kmph. There must be a road safety audit of all roads to identify such faults."
