MotorInc First

The Punch.ev is Tata's smaller electric vehicle and it sits below the super popular Nexon EV. But Kartikeya was surprised at how impressive the Punch.ev has turned out (the good), the price jump from the ICE Punch (the bad) and as usual, some niggling finish issues (the ugly). On MotorInc First, here's everything you need to know about the new Tata Punch electric.

The 2024 KTM 250 Duke receives the chassis from the new 390 Duke and a brand-new engine that increases performance but without losing the 250's uniquely un-KTM nature. Shumi and Kartikeya are discussing India's best all-rounder on MotorInc First!

The Orxa Mantis has been in development for 8 years and is heading into the same kind of space as the base model of the Ultraviolette F77 electric motorcycle. Except that it isn't a sportsbike, it's a street naked. But as Shumi explains to Kartikeya on MotorInc First, the first ride was anything but electric.
