On a side note, how the hell do they sneak in those flower pots between the railings? For what?
They are an obvious traffic hazard, sooner or later however much one appreciates the sentiment.

Royal Enfield launches Continental GT
Posted by Vignesh Annamalai at November 27th, 2013 under Auto News

Royal Enfield has launched its Continental GT at a price of Rs 2.05 lakh. It is available with red and new yellow shades. The on-road price of Continental GT at Delhi and Mumbai are Rs. 2, 05,026 lakh and Rs. 2, 14, 043 lakh respectively.



Continental GT gets the tried-and-tested single-cylinder air-cooled Unit Construction Engine (UCE) which has been upgraded to 535cc with a re-mapped ECU and lower inertia to deliver that extra punch and responsiveness that is so essential to its café racer character. The engine can deliver maximum power output of 29.1 bhp at 5100 rpm and 4.49kgm of maximum torque at 4000 rpm. The engine system is mated to 5 speed gearbox (1-down,4-up pattern).

Mr. Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director and CEO, Eicher Motors Limited (the parent company of Royal Enfield) said, “The Continental GT is inspired by the café racers of the 1960s in its form and simplicity; and it captures the feeling of freedom, fun and responsiveness that riders were trying to achieve then and brings it into the modern context. It is the definitive classic sports motorcycle to have. In the best café racer traditions, the bike is simple and devoid of the excesses that characterise the cruisers and the superbikes of today. At the same time it has been designed ground up, incorporating both traditional craftsmanship and relevant modern techniques at our state-of-the-art new plant in Oragadam to deliver a deeply engaging motorcycling experience that is unlike any other”.

He added, “In today’s post-performance motorcycling age where power is no longer the most important attribute for an enjoyable ride, design and responsiveness have taken the lead over sheer speed. There is a revival of simpler, evocative and classic bikes that engage the rider. As the world re-awakens to the sound of modern café racers, Royal Enfield is bringing back an icon that introduces the spirit of one of the most popular motorcycling cultures in history with the Continental GT – the lightest, fastest and most powerful Royal Enfield in production”.

There will always be some construction in progress some where. But all RCC bridges are painted after applying Lapi or Birla putti sort of thing.

Sri City plant that manufactures trains for chennai metro is to be inaugurated in January
The Sri City plant that will manufacture trains for Chennai Metro will be inaugurated in a special economic zone, 70 km from the city, in January.

France-based Alstom Transport bagged a contract worth Rs. 1,431 crore from Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) for manufacturing 42 trains. Of the 42, nine will be manufactured in Sao Paolo, Brazil, and the remaining at the Sri City plant located in Nellore district on the Tamil Nadu-Andhra Pradesh border.

“We may inaugurate the plant in mid-January and soon after that, we will deliver the first train manufactured in our plant to CMRL,” said a senior official of Alstom Transport.

Chennai Metro Rail, built at a cost of Rs. 14,600 crore, will have two corridors — one, running from Washermenpet to Chennai airport, and the other, from Chennai Central to St. Thomas Mount.

Alstom began work on manufacturing the trains late in 2012. Recently, Alstom was also chosen to supply 69 trains for Riyadh Metro. These, sources said, may be manufactured in the Sri City plant itself. “We are not sure of the plan. It could be manufactured in any of our other units too,” he said.

While the first train manufactured in Sao Paolo arrived in Chennai late in May, the second and third trains landed here on Wednesday.

Trial run in March

The test run of the first train was conducted in the first week of November. The trial run is expected to take place in March next year and the first line from Koyambedu to Alandur is likely to be operational by mid-2014.

BMTC to test run electric bus in the city​

In a few weeks, we will see an electrically operated K9 bus making rounds of the city. The bus, which has already arrived in Bangalore and is stationed in BMTC’s Shantinagar depot, armed with an Automobile Research Institute of India (ARI) certification, is awaiting permission (temporary registration) from the Transport Commissioner before it can operate on city roads.

Confirming this, officials in BMTC said that a letter had been written to the Transport Commissioner. “We plan to run trial operations of the bus for three months before any decision is made on purchasing it. It depends on how it performs on the city’s roads. We have also received permission from BESCOM with regard to additional power that will be needed to charge the buses,” said a BMTC official.

The bus, the K9 D Specs, comes with four Ferrous batteries, each with a capacity of 540 Volts. Manufacturers of the bus claim that it can run a distance of 250 kms once the batteries are fully charged for six hours and this is what BMTC wants to check.

The charging facility of the bus will be set up at Kempegowda bus station. BESCOM has sanctioned additional power of 90,000 volts, said BMTC officials. The corporation, however, has not decided on which route the bus will operate, although it is likely that it will be put on long, congested roads to see how the bus fares in these conditions. Four drivers will also be trained in operating the bus.

The air-conditioned vehicle, weighing 14,300 kgs, is 12 metres long and has a seating capacity of 29, plus a wheelchair, besides the driver. It can run at a maximum speed of 96 km per hour and can go from 0-50 km per hour in 20 seconds.

The bus is currently running in countries like China (Shenzen - 300 buses), Singapore and Malaysia said Vishwas Shetty, director, Utopia Automation and Control. “We have slightly modified it to suit Indian conditions and we hope that it works out here,” he said.

So Bangalore is going the Kinglong way.You can't just bring in a bus and put it on Indian roads :facepalm:
This thing will be piece of sheet metal in few months

Haha RAWamy - I'd never heard that term before I saw it here on PDF. An asset you say? Hahaha Before anyone ever calls him that, the first thing he needs to grow is a pair of you-know-what, and perhaps even half a brain. Now anyone who equates the construction of a mass transit rail system with the failures of short-term flyover construction as a means of traffic alleviation, is not someone our country (or any sane person) would call an asset. If that's not retarded, I don't know what is.

The bus will be introduced with minor modifications to suit Indian conditions.
