The Tata Sierra holds a special place in Indian automotive history. Launched in 1991, it was India’s first monocoque SUV — a radical concept at a time when Indian roads were dominated by Ambassador cars and Premier Padmini. The original Sierra’s boxy glass-heavy design and lifestyle positioning made it an aspirational vehicle for a generation … Read more
Tata Motors has been building toward this moment for years. The Nexon EV proved that Indian buyers would embrace electric vehicles. The Punch EV brought that acceptance to a more affordable price point. The Curvv EV introduced a stylish coupe-SUV silhouette.

Here’s something worth saying at the start: the difference between a Rs 500 roadside helmet and a Rs 1,800 ISI-certified full-face helmet is not style.

A commuter may wear the helmet for an hour or more every day, stop repeatedly, ride through heat, dust and rain, and carry the helmet into an office or shop.

It surrounds the head and includes a chin-bar, reducing the amount of exposed area compared with open-face designs.
