Bengaluru–Mysuru rapid rail project aims to cut commute time to under one hour: Report
A proposed Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS) linking Bengaluru and Mysuru could soon transform one of Karnataka's busiest travel corridors, slashing journey times from nearly three hours to under 70 minutes, News18 reported. The proposed new RRTS between Bengaluru and Mysuru aims to cut travel time to just under one hour.(PTI) The system, modeled on Delhi's upcoming Namo Bharat RRTS and developed by the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), is being championed locally by the Bangalore Commuter Rail Corporation Ltd. (BCRCL). Trains would run at speeds up to 200 km/h, serving daily commuters and inter-city travelers with high-frequency, reliable service.

Planners are exploring a mix of elevated and upgraded existing tracks, with cost estimates ranging from ₹ 25,000 to ₹ 30,000 crore, depending on land acquisition and alignment.

Towns along the corridor like Ramanagara and Mandya are expected to benefit from real estate and business development, while reduced road traffic could bring environmental and safety improvements. However, some challenges remain, the report noted. Securing land across districts, coordinating between agencies, and ensuring enough daily ridership at a viable fare point are some of the major hurdles that have been identified. Experts who spoke to the publication stressed that the success of the project depends on building dedicated, grade-separated tracks to avoid the pitfalls of slower, shared rail corridors. If implemented effectively, the RRTS could reshape urban commuting in Karnataka, making weekend getaways, daily office commutes, and even cross-city relocations dramatically more convenient.

Matter to launch one EV bike each year; targets 60 dealerships in FY26
Matter Motor Works , an Ahmedabad-based electric motorcycle startup, plans to launch one new model every year for the next three years as part of its expansion strategy, said Co-founder and COO Arun Pratap Singh, as reported by PTI. Speaking at the launch of the company's first geared electric bike, AERA, Singh said Matter aims to scale operations nationwide, targeting 50–60 dealerships by the end of FY26. Of these, 20 outlets are expected to be in South India, a key region for premium motorcycle demand. 'There are products planned, at least a new launch every year,' Singh said, adding the company remains focused on electric motorcycles , with no immediate plans for scooters. The company began deliveries of the AERA in October 2024, after nearly six years of development. Sales were initially limited to Ahmedabad to gather feedback before rolling out nationally. Matter expects to sell around 10,000 vehicles in FY26, ramping up to 50,000–60,000 units in the following year. Its Ahmedabad plant has a capacity of 10,000 units per month. Strategy to resolve supply chain issue The company has so far raised $80 million and plans to secure an additional $200 million in the next couple of years, ahead of a potential IPO in 3–4 years. On supply chain concerns, Singh acknowledged challenges around sourcing rare earth magnets and said the company is working with Chinese suppliers while also exploring non-Chinese alternatives that use magnets without rare earth materials. 'We're actively looking at alternatives to avoid future supply disruptions,' Singh said. Matter's expansion and product roadmap signals its ambition to emerge as a key player in India's growing electric two-wheeler market , with a clear focus on technology, scale, and regional reach.

Matter Motor plans to launch one electric bike annually over next 3 years
The Ahmedabad-based company plans to open up to 60 dealerships across the country this financial year, with the majority of them in South India Press Trust of India Electric motorcycle maker Matter Motor Works plans to launch one new model every year in the next three years as it looks to accelerate volume growth, its Co-founder and Group COO Arun Pratap Singh said on Thursday. The Ahmedabad-based company, which on Thursday launched its geared electric bike AERA in the Delhi market, plans to open up to 60 dealerships across the country this fiscal, with the majority of them in South India, Singh told PTI here. "There are products planned, at least a new launch every year. So that's what we can see for the next three years," he said when asked about the company's product pipeline. He said the company is focusing on electric motorcycles only at present and is not looking at electric scooters "as of now". On the company's first model AERA, he said, "We took almost six years to develop the vehicle. We started deliveries in October last year." The company had confined sales in the Ahmedabad market for the first six months to study consumer feedback and made "small tinkering", he noted. "Now we are moving across India to start deliveries," Singh said. On sales network expansion, he said, "We are ramping up. We are planning to set up almost 30 dealerships by August, and we should be closing almost 50 to 60 dealerships by this financial year end." He further said, "From the distribution side, we have a larger presence coming up in South India. Out of the 30 dealerships (by August), 20 dealerships will be coming in the South." The segment in which the company is present is more popular in South India, he noted. In terms of sales, Singh said, "We intend to close around 10,000 vehicles in the first year. Second year, it should be around 50,000 to 60,000 vehicles and beyond that, it is difficult to project." The company's manufacturing unit in Ahmedabad has a capacity to roll out 10,000 units a month. When asked about investments, he said the company is utilising funds of up to $80 million that it has already raised. Singh reiterated that Matter is looking to raise a further $200 million in the next couple of years before it looks for an initial public offering in three to four years' time. When asked about supply constraints of rare earth magnets, he said that currently, the company is in talks with its partners in China to resolve the issue. "But parallelly, we are also looking at alternatives so that we do not get into this kind of situation next time," Singh said. Stating that there are companies outside the Chinese region which have permanent magnets without rare earth minerals, he said, "We have started talking to them and the results will come out soon.
