Classic Legends has announced the ‘Jawa Yezdi BSA Ownership Assurance Programme’ for its motorcycle range. The initiative was unveiled during a plant visit at the company's manufacturing facility in Pithampur and reinforces its commitment to not only producing outstanding motorcycles but also ensuring an extraordinary ownership experience.

The Jawa Yezdi BSA Ownership Assurance Programme includes a 4-year/50,000 km standard warranty, with extended warranty options up to six years; 2-year anytime warranty (within six years total); 1-year Complimentary Roadside Assistance (RSA), extendable up to eight years; and 5-year comprehensive AMC Package. The programme is applicable on new purchases as well as for existing Jawa, Yezdi and BSA owners to secure extended warranty coverage even after their standard warranty expires. Key features of this programme include nationwide coverage and service by expert technicians, zero payment during service, complimentary pickup and drop service, protection from labour price fluctuations and inflation, transferable coverage and flexibility to customise according to individual riding needs.

Anupam Thareja, Co-Founder of Classic Legends, said, "As pioneers who have consistently challenged industry norms, our engineering capabilities have given us tremendous conviction in our products. We're now passing this assurance directly to our customers through the most comprehensive motorcycling assurance in the segment. Every motorcycle we create carries the soul of a classic but beats with the heart of a modern machine – from BSA's racing heritage that began on British circuits to Jawa's neo-classic revolution and Yezdi's adventure-ready spirit. Our motorcycles are engineered with precision and built with passion – that's why we can stand behind them with such confidence, offering peace of mind that's as timeless as our designs but as forward-thinking as our technology."

Bengaluru-based electric two-wheeler manufacturer Ather Energy has launched a new variant of its 450S electric scooter, featuring an upgraded 3.7 kWh battery pack that delivers an IDC range of 161km. Priced at INR 145,999 (ex-showroom, Bengaluru), the new model offers an extended range while maintaining the performance DNA of the 450 series.

The variant is positioned to bridge the gap between the entry-level 450S 2.9 kWh and the higher-end 450X. It features the same 5.4 kW motor producing 22 Nm of torque, a claimed top speed of 90 kmph, and zero to 40 kmph acceleration in 3.9 seconds.

Ravneet Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy, said, "The 450 series has always set the bar for performance, technology, and reliability in the Indian electric scooter market. With the launch of the 450S featuring a 3.7 kWh battery pack and an IDC range of 161km, we're bringing the extended range previously exclusive to the 450X. The new 450S variant is specifically designed for riders who prioritise the sporty appeal and long-range capability of the 450 series over the advanced software features of the 450X. With an IDC range of 161 kms offered by the new 450S, riders can now confidently plan longer journeys and still experience the thrilling performance the 450 series is renowned for, all at a more accessible price."

The new 450S retains the sharp styling and build quality of the 450 range, while offering four riding modes – Smart Eco, Eco, Ride and Sport. It also comes equipped with a 7-inch DeepView Display, Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, AutoHold, Fall Safe, OTA updates and access to the Ather Grid fast-charging network.

Bookings are now open, with deliveries set to begin from August 2025. Ex-showroom prices for the new variant are INR 148,047 in Delhi, INR 148,258 in Mumbai, INR 145,999 in Bengaluru and INR 147,312 in Chennai.

The scooter is covered under Ather’s 'Eight70' warranty programme, which offers 8 years or 80,000 km of coverage, guaranteeing 70 percent battery health during the period.

Eicher Motors (EML) has reported its highest-ever Q1 revenue in FY2026, reaching INR 50.42 billion, up 14.8 percent YoY, from INR 43.93 billion last year.

The EBITDA grew by 3.2 percent to INR 12.03 billion, while Profit After Tax (PAT) stood at INR 12.05 billion, up 9.4 percent from INR 11.01 billion in Q1 FY2024-25.

During the quarter, Royal Enfield sold 261,326 motorcycles, which was 14.7 percent higher as compared to 227,736 units sold in the corresponding period last year.

VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV) posted INR 56.71 billion in revenue, up 11.9 percent from INR 50.70 billion, while EBITDA grew by 32.6 percent to INR 5.11 billion. The company sold 21,610 CVs in Q1, compared to 19,702 in the previous year. VECV’s revenue and EBITDA are not included in Eicher Motors’ consolidated financials, and its profit contribution is reflected as a single line in EML’s consolidated PAT.

B Govindarajan, MD, Eicher Motors, and CEO, Royal Enfiled, said, “At Eicher Motors, we’ve had a solid start to the year, with encouraging growth across both Royal Enfield and VECV. We continue to build consistent momentum in volumes, profitability and the strength of our overall portfolio. At Royal Enfield, we have sustained our growth momentum in the first quarter, anchored by our continued focus on product innovation, immersive riding experiences and a deeper expression of pure motorcycling. The refreshed Hunter 350 continues to be a key marker of growth for us, both in terms of volumes and community engagement. Moving ahead on our global ambition, we further strengthened our reach in the SAARC region and expanded our portfolio in Nepal with the locally assembled Classic 350. With a refreshed pipeline of motorcycles and a growing ecosystem of curated rides and culture-first experiences, we are shaping a vibrant and inclusive motorcycling movement. VECV, too, has delivered consistent growth, anchored in a strong product portfolio and a sharp understanding of India’s evolving commercial mobility needs. Our continued investment in sustainable, efficient transport solutions ensures we are well-positioned for the future. As we move forward, our commitment to long-term value creation remains strong – through customer-centric innovation, global ambition, and meaningful brand experiences at every level.”

Vinod Aggarwal, MD and CEO, VECV, and Vice Chairman, Eicher Motors, said, “CV delivered its best‑ever first quarter with 21,610 units in Q1 FY’26 (up 9.7 percent year‑on‑year) and broadened its footprint in a largely flat market. Overall market share improved to 18.7 percent (vs 17.3 percent last year), led by continued leadership in LMD trucks (34.5 percent share) and a strong showing in Buses, where Total Bus volumes grew 14.8 percent and market share rose to 21.5 percent. Exports grew by 20.5 percent over last year. Deliveries of all electric Eicher Pro X in SCV segment (2.0–3.5T) continue to gather momentum. Heavy‑Duty volumes were marginally lower reflecting a lower total market despite market share gains. Our connected vehicle solution “My Eicher” now connects 150,000 customers representing 350,000 vehicles. VECV reported strong revenue growth and expansion in profit margins linked to better volumes, pricing and cost discipline. PAT was lower as compared to previous year primarily due to one off impact in Q1 FY’25 linked to deferred tax reversal.”

VECV also reported improved market share in LMD trucks and buses, and growth in electric vehicle deliveries and exports.
