Steelbird Tornado helmet series launched at ₹1,959. Check details
The Steelbird Tornado is priced at ₹1,959. Check Offers
Steelbird Helmets has launched the Tornado helmet series that conforms to both Indian (ISI) and international (DOT) standards. The Tornado is priced at ₹ 1,959 and comes in the entry-to-mid range of commuter helmets.
The helmet is available in four sizes—S (560mm), M (580mm), L (600mm), and XL (620mm)—encompassing a wide range of fit needs. It uses a micro-metric buckle that adheres to European fastening standards, a feature increasingly common in helmets priced for the mass market.
The Tornado features a high-impact ABS shell designed to withstand crashes and protect the rider's head in the event of a collision. Internally, the helmet includes multi-layer, high-density EPS foam for shock absorption, with fiberglass reinforcement—a material required for DOT compliance and used in most of Steelbird's DOT-rated offerings.

The helmet also includes reflective elements, such as a rear spoiler and interior padding, to improve rider visibility at night. A blackout edition, in which all elements—chin strap, interior, buckle, and reflector—are finished in black, has also been introduced.
Tornado's dual-visor system is designed to handle variable lighting conditions. Riders can use a built-in sun visor during the day, with a smoke-tinted outer visor that can be swapped using a quick-release mechanism.
One key update is the redesigned chin strap exit from the center of the cheek pad. This is meant to offer more ear space, which might enhance comfort when wearing it for long periods or with Bluetooth products.
The inside of the helmet comes equipped with a removable and washable breathable liner, a common feature in most commuter-oriented helmets to deal with hygiene and long-term wear issues. Steelbird Helmet sales milestone
Steelbird Hi-Tech India Ltd, India's largest two-wheeler safety gear manufacturer, clocked 87 lakh units of helmet sales in FY 2024-25, up from the previous fiscal year's 80 lakh units.
Key to this growth has been the company's continued investment in production infrastructure. The company stated that the Steelbird's Baddi facility now incorporates robotic systems for visors, automated painting, and expanded assembly lines. These improvements have brought daily production to nearly 50,000 units.

The company aims to scale up this number considerably in the next few years to reach 1,000 standalone shops.

Low minimum wage fuels migration, school dropouts, quiet despair in Raj
1 2 3 Jaipur: After a backbreaking eight-hour slog under the unrelenting sun at a construction site, 43-year-old Shyam Lal goes home with Rs 285, his day's wage set by the Rajasthan govt for unskilled workers. With the wage, which is much lower compared to many other states, he just manages to escape the extreme poverty line of $3 a day set by the World Bank. But Shyam Lal remains enmeshed in the vicious cycle of poverty, as he struggles to fulfil educational, social and family obligations, while hoping no medical emergencies would ruin his life. "We work all day, yet return home with empty pockets," he says, reflecting the grim reality of thousands of labourers across Rajasthan. In Jan 2025, the state govt marginally increased daily wages by Rs 26 for unskilled labour, from Rs 259 to 285. But this revision, coming after several years, has done little to ease their financial distress. With monthly earnings of Rs 7,410 (based on 26 working days), even the most basic expenses are well beyond reach. Despite repeated appeals, the state still uses an outdated formula for wage revision, increasing Rs 1 for every one-point rise in Consumer Price Index (CPI). This method is widely criticised for not factoring in the impact of inflation with prices of essentials like milk and vegetables doubling in the past five years. Meanwhile, other Indian states have moved towards more progressive and inflation-sensitive models. Delhi, which revises wages quarterly, offers Rs 710 for unskilled workers and Rs 937 for highly skilled. It uses a Variable Dearness Allowance (VDA) linked directly to CPI. Maharashtra adopts industry-specific wages with biannual inflation-linked updates, offering Rs 598 to Rs 764. Similarly, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu incorporate regional costs and living standards into their models. The consequences are dire. Workers in Rajasthan are migrating in large numbers to neighbouring states, leaving local industries short-staffed. Skilled artisans are leaving ancestral trades, and families are forced to pull children from schools to support household income. Economists warn that stagnant wages amid rising inflation reduce the purchasing power of workers and increase poverty even when employment remains stable. Mukesh Goswami, secretary of Rajasthan Asangathit Mazdoor Union in Jaipur, says the vicious cycle has resulted in hunger, school dropouts, and quiet despair. "After nearly 20 months, the state govt revised the wages in July 2022 by increasing only Rs 7. The increase that came in Jan 2025 was marginally better at Rs 26. In the meantime, prices of food, house rent, fuel, and education shot up to unaffordable levels. It was not a relief but an insult," said Gosawmi. Recently, the union has written a letter to CM Bhajan Lal Sharma appealing for an urgent and comprehensive revision of labour wages across all skill levels, the introduction of an inflation-responsive wage mechanism, and a structured approach to time-bound revisions. "This is not just a request, it is a sincere call for attention. What we are seeking now is not charity, but fair and dignified recognition of their contribution," said Goswami.

Behind curbs on Bangladesh jute products: Dhaka proximity to Beijing, ignoring export malpractices
Delhi's strained ties with Dhaka and the growing proximity between its interim government and Beijing, common malpractices by Bangladesh exporters including circumvention of anti-dumping duty (ADD) through technical exemptions, and influx of cheap, subsidised imports harming Indian farmers are the reasons why India has decided to ban import of jute products and woven fabrics from Bangladesh through all land routes, officials told The Indian Express. This latest move comes a little over a month after India decided to place restrictions on Bangladesh products to be exported to North-East India and overseas. On Friday, Delhi banned import of certain jute products and woven fabrics from Bangladesh through all land routes, permitting entry only through the Nhava Sheva seaport in Maharashtra. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), in a notification, said that such port restrictions would not apply to Bangladeshi goods transiting through India to Nepal and Bhutan. The goods under these curbs include jute products, flax tow and waste, jute and other bast fibres, jute, single flax yarn, single yarn of jute, multiple folded, woven fabrics or flex, and unbleached woven fabrics of jute. Officials said that under the SAFTA provisions, jute from Bangladesh enjoys duty free access to India. 'However, the Indian jute industry has, for long, suffered due to the adverse impact of dumped and subsidised imports of jute products, particularly yarn, fibre and bags, from Bangladesh,' an official said. 'There is credible evidence that Bangladesh jute exports continue to benefit from state subsidies extended by the Government of Bangladesh. In response to these concerns, the Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) conducted detailed investigations and imposed Anti-Dumping Duty (ADD) on jute/ goods originating from Bangladesh,' the official said. The imposition of ADD has not yielded a substantial reduction in imports. Various large exporters managed to circumvent ADD through technical exemptions, exports through exempted firms (whose exports go beyond their production capacity), and mis-declaration to secure higher subsidies within, the official said. 'Imports, which stood at USD 138 million in FY 2016-17 prior to the levy of ADD, marginally declined to USD 117 million in FY 2021-22 and have since risen to around USD 144 million in FY 2023-24. Consequently, prices of jute in India fell below Rs 5,000 per quintal for FY 2024-25, against the minimum support price (MSP) of Rs 5,335, creating a vicious payment/ liquidity cycle. Six mills remain closed with dues of Rs 1,400 crore, adding to Rs 400 crore is legacy dues from the mills. Additionally, the influx of underpriced finished jute goods from Bangladesh has resulted in significant under-utilisation of capacity in Indian mills, threatening their long-term viability,' another official said. While Bangladesh made nominal adjustments in response to complaints, the government, the official said, continues to incentivise exports, particularly of value-added jute products. 'Notably, raw jute imports into India from Bangladesh remains outside the purview of ADD and, therefore, jute farmers currently do not enjoy any protection from dumping practices employed by Bangladesh exporters,' the official said. On the other hand, the Indian jute sector, according to the official, plays a critical role in supporting rural livelihoods, especially in West Bengal, which alone accounts for 78% of national production. Raw jute is produced mainly in the states of West Bengal, Bihar, Assam, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Tripura and Meghalaya. It is estimated that the jute industry provides direct employment to over 4 lakh workers in organised mills and in diversified units including tertiary sector and allied activities, and supports the livelihood of around several lakh farm families. In addition, a large number of people are engaged in the trade of jute. Nearly 90% of India's jute output is consumed domestically, most of which is procured by the government. 'Artificially depressed prices caused by subsidised imports have had a direct and adverse impact on the income of jute farmers,' the official said. In a bid to safeguard the interests of the domestic jute industry and to counter the unfair trade practices employed by the Bangladesh exporters acting in collusion with the establishment, the official said that it has been decided to restrict Bangladesh imports of jute and jute products to India through only from Nhava Sheva port. 'The imposition is expected to streamline the quality checking (hydrocarbon oil free status), prevent mis-declaration and fraudulent labelling, thereby neutralising the malpractices that have plagued the industry for long,' the official said, adding that the government is also taking steps to ensure that exporters in Bangladesh do not circumvent the restrictions by routing their jute exports through third countries.

Scouting for 6 mid-air refuellers, IAF begins technical evaluation
The Indian Air Force (IAF) is in the process of conducting technical evaluation of mid-air refuellers that it has been seeking to procure since 2007 as a vital strategic asset, The Indian Express has learnt. According to sources, three to four firms have submitted bids for six mid-air refuellers that the IAF seeks to acquire. 'The technical evaluation stage is currently underway,' an official said, adding that the mid-air refuellers fielded by the three to four firms are under consideration. Once finalised, an Indian maintenance partner for these tankers will likely be sought. The IAF currently operates a fleet of six Ilyushin Il-78MKI tankers procured from Uzbekistan in 2003-04. In February 2024, the Defence Acquisition Council, headed by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, cleared the procurement of another six mid-air refuellers. In 2023, The Indian Express reported that the IAF was looking to procure six 'pre-owned' aircraft which could be modified into tankers to meet its tanker requirement for 25-30 years. In March this year, the Ministry of Defence signed a contract with Metrea Management – it's a US-based private entity which specialises in air-to-air refuelling solutions – for wet leasing of one flight refuelling aircraft (FRA) for providing air-to-air refuelling training to pilots of IAF and Indian Navy. The Ministry said that Metrea would provide FRA (KC-135 aircraft) within six months – it would be the first FRA to be wet leased by IAF. It is not immediately clear whether all companies in the fray have pitched pre-owned aircraft for the contract. This is the IAF's third attempt since 2007 to buy the tankers. Two of its earlier tenders were cancelled due to pricing disputes. The idea behind opening the door for buying pre-owned aircraft as tankers was that many global companies would transition to advanced aircraft with new engines as they do away with their older aircraft models in the next few years, thus ensuring the availability of an adequate number of pre-owned aircraft in the market for modification into tankers. FRAs would be a vital strategic asset and force multiplier for the Armed Forces as these allow fighter jets to stay airborne longer. The need to induct the tankers is significant and stem from the IAF's long-term plans to induct a range of fighter jets capable of receiving fuel in air to add to its existing number of squadrons. Of the IAF's six existing II-78 tankers, procured in 2003-04, only three to four are serviceable at a time. Their maintenance and serviceability issues were highlighted in an August 2017 report of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) that studied their operations from 2010 to 2016. The tankers were bought in 2003-2004 at Rs 132 crore per aircraft. The IAF also provides limited refuelling efforts to the Navy's MiG-29K fighter jets. In the past, the Airbus A330 multi-role tanker transport and the Ilyushin Il-78 had both fought to secure the contract. State-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) had also signed an agreement with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) to convert Boeing 767 passenger aircraft into tankers in India.
