The ministry of road transport and highways notified draft rules which mandate all two-wheelers manufactured on and after January 1, 2026 to be fitted with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).Besides, it has directed all two-wheeler manufacturers to supply two protective headgears, conforming to specifications prescribed by the Bureau of Indian Standards , at the time of purchase of a two wheeler.The move is aimed at reducing accidents involving motorcycles and scooters. Government data shows nearly 20% of India's 151,997 road accidents in 2022 were related to two-wheelers.Besides, two-wheeler fatalities rose by 8% in 2022, claiming nearly 75,000 lives, which is 44% of the 1,68,491 road accident deaths that year.This, however, could lead to an increase in the cost of two-wheelers upwards of Rs 2500 as per initial estimates.Currently, ABS is mandatory for two-wheeler models above 150cc.ABS is designed to prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking, reducing the likelihood of skidding and crashes. They achieve this by rapidly pulsing the brakes, preventing the wheels from skidding and allowing the driver to steer around obstacles.

Sanjay Dutt Net Worth: Rolls-Royce, home in Dubai, Rs 64 lakh watch, a peek inside actor's mega fortune, he earns maximum money from...
Sanjay Dutt, who celebrates his 66th birthday today, has had a rollercoaster journey in Bollywood, but there's no denying the actor has crafted a legacy both on and off-screen. Known for his versatile roles, be it the fearless hero or the unforgettable anti-hero, Sanjay has delivered for over four decades and continues to stay relevant in the ever-evolving film industry. But beyond the camera, there's another story: one of luxury, investment, and calculated moves. With an estimated net worth of Rs 295 crore, Dutt's fortune is as dynamic as his filmography. He owns a lavish Rs 40 crore home in Bandra's upscale Pali Hill, Mumbai, and also a second residence in Dubai where his children are currently studying. His lifestyle is proof that Dutt doesn't just act like royalty, he lives like one. Where does the money come from? Aside from acting, Sanjay earns through strategic business investments and brand endorsements. He reportedly charges between Rs 8–15 crore per film. For his Tamil debut, Leo, he pocketed Rs 8 crore. His upcoming film Double iSmart with Ram Pothineni saw his fee rise to Rs 15 crore, per The Times of India. He also owns two production houses—Sanjay Dutt Productions and Three Dimensional Motion Pictures. He's co-owner of two cricket franchises: Harare Hurricanes (T10 League) and B-Love Kandy (Lanka Premier League). He's also invested in startups like Don Town (a sneaker marketplace), a media firm (Cyber Media India), a liquor brand (Cartel & Bros), and has even launched his Scotch whisky called The Glenwalk, priced at Rs 1,550 a bottle. What's inside his garage and on his wrist? Dutt's love for automobiles is well-known. His collection features a Rolls-Royce Ghost (Rs 6.95–7.95 crore), Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography (Rs 2.99 crore), Audi R8 (Rs 2.72 crore), Ferrari 599 GTB (Rs 1.3 crore), and Audi Q7 (Rs 88.66–97.84 lakh). He's even updated his once-famous 4545 number plate to 2999. His bikes? Just as lavish. The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy (Rs 25.68 lakh) and Ducati Multistrada (Rs 21.48–31.48 lakh) scream muscle and money. And the watches? A collection that rivals any high-end showroom: Roger Dubuis Excalibur Double Tourbillon – Rs 64 lakh Rolex Cosmograph Daytona (Leopard dial) – Rs 40 lakh Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore – Rs 40 lakh Rolex Yacht-Master II – Rs 28 lakh Hublot King Power Mexican Independence – Rs 27 lakh It looks like a life of unmatched swag, smart investments, and a legacy that only grows with time. Sanjay Dutt isn't just celebrating another birthday—he's living proof that stardom, when mixed with strategy, becomes an empire.
