From Royal Enfield To TVS, Here's List Of Bikes That Can Conquer Indian Monsoons Effortlessly
In this article, we have listed the top bikes that can handle the Indian monsoon without breaking a sweat and bank balance either.
Finally, the much-awaited monsoon started in India. The season has somehow arrived early, or god has answered prayers who were asking for some relief from scorching heat. As the dark clouds roll in, the season brings scenic rides on the wet roads.
It feels thrilling yet concerning at the same time due to waterlogged roads, slippery patches, and unexpected potholes. To conquer all the challenges, a trusted set of wheels is supposed to be here to make every ride worth it.
Perfect Bikes In Monsoon
If you are planning to get yourself a motorcycle during this monsoon season, and wants to leave behind all the weather-related worries. Then do not worry, we have got your back. In this article, we have listed the top bikes that can handle the Indian monsoon without breaking a sweat and bank balance either.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 450
Name it and this off-roader will have it. Ever since the model was launched in India, it has captured most of the mass audience, a big thanks to its aggressive style and decent price range. It can be purchased at Rs 2.85 lakh, while the top model goes up to Rs 2.98 lakh (all ex-showroom).
The vehicle has been created specially to tackle terrains, where a normal bike in the same segment is afraid to reach. Himalayan 450 is equally confident in the monsoon as it is on rough terrains in Leh Ladakh. Its long-travel suspension, grippy dual-purpose tyres, and torque-heavy engine make it a rain-ready beast for both city and touring.
TVS Apache RTR 200 4V
This offering can be safely considered monsoon-friendly as it comes with multiple riding modes and offers dual-channel ABS. These elements are enough to give the riders complete confidence to reach any corner or cover any distance without second thoughts in their head. It also comes with a high-quality build that holds up well in prolonged moisture exposure.
The company has launched the model at the starting price of Rs 1.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Under this price range, it gets a 197.75cc engine that generates a maximum power of 20.2 bhp at 8500 rpm and a peak torque of 18.1 Nm at 7000 rpm.
Suzuki V-Strom SX 250
Priced at Rs 2.13 lakh (ex-showroom), the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 could be a wise yet smart choice under the 249cc segment. The motorcycle is a perfect blend of style and performance, which is well-suited for slippery highways and rain-soaked trails.
Honda CB350 H'ness
Last but not least, the CB350. It is a modern classic with a refined engine and road manners. Although it is not an off-roader, but offers well-balanced dynamics with a rooted riding experience even on rainy days. It has been priced at Rs 2.14 lakh (ex-showroom).

With new energy, JSW Group gets ready to disrupt EV market
Sajjan Jindal-led JSW Group has set up a dedicated automotive vertical-JSW Motors. This will be an umbrella platform under which the group will launch passenger cars focussed on new energy vehicles at an investment of up to $3 billion over the next five years with launches set to begin in the second half of FY26. It will be separate from the group's joint venture with China's SAIC, JSW MG Motor India. JSW Motors is in talks with three-four companies across Italy, Germany, South Korea and China for collaborations to design and develop these cars, which will be sold under the JSW brand, newly appointed chief executive officer Ranjan Nayak told ET in his first media interview. All vehicles will be made in India, with the earmarked resources deployed for commissioning the manufacturing facility, research and development. JSW's automotive hub, spread across 630 acres, is coming up at Bidkin in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in Maharashtra. Elaborating on the expansion strategy, Nayak said JSW Motors is aiming to disrupt the domestic electric vehicle (EV) market by manufacturing "world class automotive products in the country" by leveraging the best technologies from across the globe, including Italy, Germany, South Korea and China, and combining that with India's own strengths in robust supply chain and digital integration. "We are looking at rapidly scaling up our in-house automotive technology, and not remain dependent on any external entity. Our integrated approach allows us to combine global excellence with local relevance, ensuring high performance, affordability and sustainability," Nayak said, adding, "Our first New Energy Vehicle (NEV) under the JSW badge will hit the roads in the second half of FY2026." Nayak said JSW Motors is drawing on "the unique strengths of industry-leading partners" from around the world, without specifying details of the companies it is collaborating with. "We will be combining the craftsmanship and aesthetics of Italian designers and the German precision in manufacturing and engineering with the advanced welding technologies from South Korea and China's expertise in electric propulsion systems, battery innovation and New Energy Vehicle (NEV) technologies with that of the Indian IT sector's deep capabilities in software and digital integration," said Nayak. He declined to share details of the investments the JSW Group has scheduled for its automotive venture. However, industry sources said the group has lined up an investment to the tune of $2-3 billion in its automotive business over the next five years. Similar to its strategy in the steel sector, JSW intends to "energize the auto ecosystem-spurring suppliers and competitors to rise with us" to accelerate India's shift to clean mobility and reduce its dependence on oil, said Nayak, who is also executive vice president and head, corporate strategy, JSW Group. "Our aim is to push New Energy Vehicle penetration to 50%, offering affordable, world-class electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles," he said. Nayak said China is at the forefront of EV and hybrid vehicle innovation and has become an integral part of the global automotive supply chain. As the world rapidly shifts toward sustainable mobility, technologies such as Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), pioneered by Chinese automakers, are redefining the industry landscape. By combining the best global technologies with India's own strengths, JSW Motors intends to bring high-quality, technologically advanced, energy efficient and environmentally responsible vehicles. This approach will deliver "unmatched value to Indian customers and propel the country towards a more secure, sustainable and self-reliant automotive future," he said. "Like global industry leaders-including those from Europe, America (like Tesla and GM), and Japan-we embrace relevant advancements from China and other innovation hubs, integrating them within India's ecosystem. Promoting EV, PHEV and hybrid technologies is also critical from an energy security standpoint." he said.

Bajaj Auto to infuse more mojo into 125cc motorcycles this fiscal
Bajaj Auto will focus on on restoring competitiveness in the 'strategically important' 125cc+ motorcycle segment during this fiscal, according to its 2024-25 annual report. The company will also look at unlocking the full potential of the GoGo brand in the electric three-wheeler space, 'mirroring our leadership' in the ICE category. Likewise, the new Chetak electric scooter range will be executed with the intent to 'significantly step up' volumes and market share. Multiple product launches across the KTM and Triumph portfolios are planned to further strengthen Bajaj Auto's global market positioning . 'Throughout this journey, we remain mindful of margin pressures arising from an increasingly competitive landscape and a strengthening rupee,' states the company. Also read: Bajaj Auto on the go with its GoGo electric 3-wheeler brand Chairman, Niraj Bajaj , has said in the report that sales of the 'strategically important and focused segment' of the 125cc+ motorcycle segment hit a new peak. Pulsar, the flagship brand, remains a strong force in the sports motorcycle segment, 'leading the charge as a symbol of Indian engineering and excellence'. Targeted actions While overall domestic motorcycles performance was subdued by a relatively weak second half that saw a loss of market share, 'we view this as a critical area and are taking clear and targeted actions to regain momentum'. Sales of the recently launched Freedom 125 have also been tepid but Bajaj Auto has reiterated that the world's first CNG motorcycle represents its commitment to 'breakthrough innovation while reimagining mobility'. Freedom 125, the company states, is more than a bike; it is a statement of how engineering and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand. That your Company not only navigated this transition but delivered its best-ever performance is a testament to the very versatile nature of our business, which drives the resilience of our results. When one engine slows, the other steps up — allowing the enterprise to stay on Bajaj The preceding fiscal also saw domestic demand slowing down for Bajaj Auto in the second half while exports accelerated sharply. 'That your Company not only navigated this transition but delivered its best-ever performance is a testament to the very versatile nature of our business, which drives the resilience of our results. When one engine slows, the other steps up — allowing the enterprise to stay on course,' said the Chairman. According to him, the other bit of good news was the 'surefooted progress' that Bajaj Auto had made on building the electric vehicles business which now account for 20% of domestic sales. More importantly, Chetak achieved segment leadership position on electric scooters during the fiscal that went by. Chetak on a roll 'This was the year in which Chetak hit leadership in the electric scooters market as volumes more than doubled year-on-year. The launch of the affordable variant earlier in the year and rapid expansion of the network to over 4,000 touchpoints were key interventions that propelled the business to leadership,' said Niraj Bajaj. The company's partner brands, KTM and Triumph, clocked nearly one lakh units domestically, reflecting the growing preference for premium mobility and 'our decisive presence' in this space. 'Buoyed by the strength of an expanded/upgraded portfolio and a wider reach in terms of city and dealership coverage, the interventions are yielding encouraging results,' he added. Also read: Bajaj, KTM will pull out all the stops in new revival plan The electric three-wheeler business, which is under two years old, rapidly scaled up too with a three-fold increase in market share and further going on to achieve segment leadership at the start of FY26. Exports also staged a strong comeback with double-digit growth that was led by Latin America, which continued its strong momentum, registering yet another high over what was already a record performance last year. 'Our brands continue to enjoy deep trust and loyalty among customers, helping us reclaim volumes and drive share across markets,' he said. Bullish on Brazil The recently launched Brazil business has grown scale quarter after quarter particularly after supplies were unlocked following the commissioning of the first company-owned overseas assembling facility in Manaus in June 2024. The business ended the year at a quarterly run rate that was in excess of what it sold for all of the previous financial year. To leverage the attractive market opportunity, capacity is being further increased, the portfolio augmented and the network expanded to cover the country. I truly believe Brazil will emerge as a sizable and exciting market for us in the years Bajaj 'To leverage the attractive market opportunity, capacity is being further increased, the portfolio augmented and the network expanded to cover the country. I truly believe Brazil will emerge as a sizable and exciting market for us in the years ahead,' said Niraj Bajaj. Summing up, the company would remain committed to driving competitiveness in the strategically relevant and important 125cc+ motorcycle segment while scaling up Chetak even further with a view to growing volumes, market share leadership and improving unit economics. Bajaj Auto would also focus on expanding and replicating market leadership in the electric three-wheeler segment and thereby mirroring the strong position built in the ICE category. It would also strive to sustain and broad base the recovery in exports while leveraging the uptick across select overseas markets. The company would stay the course 'relentlessly' on delivering differentiated product innovation, impactful in-market activation and superior customer experience. Project Velocity The year also saw Bajaj Auto kicking off Project Velocity which involved a thorough analysis of business units, leadership-led reviews, and 'iterative refinements' to each unit's organisation structure. This was followed by a carefully thought out mapping of talent to key roles, ensuring alignment with business priorities, and stronger cross-functional collaboration. 'It resulted in simplification of the organisation structure and flattening of the leadership layers to provide perfect correlation between our leadership levels, 4S framework and our leadership competency framework,' said the Chairman. As I reflect on the year gone by, for me it has brought home a profound business truth - in uncharted waters, competitiveness comes not from always having the wind at your back, but from being able to adroitly adjust your sails as the winds Bajaj All this revolved around simplicity of strategy, (anticipate the future with simplicity); singularity of objectives (drive singularity of alignment across the organisation); synergy of teams (bring synergies by enabling the cross functional teams to continuously adapt to the dynamic environment); and speed of execution (act with speed in flawlessly executing and continuously improving). According to Niraj Bajaj, these changes have already started to positively impact agility, efficiency and speed of execution within the ecosystem. 'As I reflect on the year gone by, for me it has brought home a profound business truth - in uncharted waters, competitiveness comes not from always having the wind at your back, but from being able to adroitly adjust your sails as the winds shift,' he observed.

BYD runs India remotely as China tensions shut out top brass
Synopsis BYD faces hurdles in India due to strained political ties. Visa issues force executives to meet abroad. Despite this, BYD cars are popular. India rejects BYD's investment plan. This impacts tariff benefits. Tesla expands in India. BYD relies on its Chennai plant. High import duties increase car costs. India now allows Chinese tourist visas again. Reuters Representative image. China's BYD Co. is forging ahead with its attempts to expand in India despite roadblocks from the government that are preventing the electric vehicle maker from conducting key business dealings there. Like most Chinese companies, BYD has been unable to obtain visas for executives after a deadly clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers along a disputed Himalayan border in 2020 sparked a major deterioration in political ties. That's seen the EV giant resort to holding board meetings and high-level business interactions in Colombo in Sri Lanka and Kathmandu in Nepal, and even as far away as Singapore, according to people familiar with the Zhang, BYD's managing director for India, has been unable to obtain a work permit since he left the EV maker's local base in Chennai, despite government efforts to facilitate his travel, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they're not authorized to speak worked from the carmaker's headquarters in Shenzhen in 2021 before moving to Tokyo this year, they said. From Japan, he oversees Asian markets including India, the people said. Also Read: Chinese carmaker BYD launches smartphone-car connectivity feature An on-the-ground presence is particularly important for manufacturers, given the need for quick decision making, addressing productivity issues and establishing community cold shoulder is mutual. As recently as March, travel restrictions were still being wielded in the political spat. That month, an Indian contingent wanting to visit a major meeting of BYD car dealers in Shenzhen had to be scaled down after the majority of participants, including the company's employees based in India, were unable to obtain visas, a person familiar with the matter said.

This leaves the Chinese firm unable to qualify for reduced tariffs on imported EVs in exchange for establishing a substantial manufacturing presence in freeze contrasts with the experience of Tesla Inc. Its Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk met with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the US earlier this year. The US carmaker opened its first showrooms in India this month, with deliveries set to begin as early as August. Tesla doesn't have plans to establish local manufacturing, meaning it faces import taxes of as much as 110% for fully-assembled overseas is critical for BYD, which risks missing its target to sell 5.5 million cars this year as demand in China stagnates and it draws the ire of Beijing following rounds of heavy price without the ability to invest in manufacturing in India, BYD relies on its assembly plant in the southern city of Chennai, which has annual capacity of 10,000 to 15,000 units, to meet Indian company also imports most cars it sells in India, but hefty duties — aimed at shielding domestic firms — effectively double the cost of a vehicle and India restricts volumes unless a model has received a local roadworthiness tensions between China and India are thawing, it's unclear whether curbs on professional visas will be lifted or if BYD will ever be welcomed with open arms. Still, there are tentative signs of progress. Earlier this month, India allowed Chinese nationals to apply for tourist visas again.
