What is E20 petrol?

Many people only fill petrol in vehicles. They do not know much about petrol. Now when the name of E20 petrol is in such a discussion.

The Government of India started mixing it in petrol so that dependence on imported crude oil could be reduced, pollution decreases and farmers benefit. The mileage of vehicles may be slightly less than E20 compared to normal petrol. But it is considered more correct for the atmosphere.

The old India-Russia’s old helicopter deal is expected to resume. According to media reports, during Vladimir Putin’s visit to India in December 2025, the talk on the KA-226T light utility helicopter can begin again. Russia has prepared the VK-650V Turboshaft engine itself. This engine will replace the earlier French Safran Arrius 2G1 engine, which Russia could not get due to restrictions from Western countries.

New VK-650V engine
The VK-650 V developed by ODK-climov is a Russian turboshaft engine designed for light helicopters such as KA-226 T and ENSAT. It comes 650 hp (with emergency power up to 750 hp) and has a modular design with FADEC digital control. The special thing is that this engine is also optimized for high-altitude operations. In hilly areas like Ladakh and Arunachal, you will be able to work easily, where the wind is thin and the weather is very hard.

According to The Eurasian Times report, the ENSAT was originally powered by the Prat and Whitney Canada PW207K engine. Russia had to develop its alternative power plant due to the ban on export of these engines.

What is Indo-Russian Helicopters Limited Scheme
In 2015, India and Russia signed an agreement for the joint construction of at least 200 KA-226T light utility helicopters. Under the scheme, 60 helicopters will be imported and 140 helicopter joint ventures will be built locally by Indo-Resian Helicoptors Limited (IRHL).

Why this project was stuck
Let us know that Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has 50.5 percent, Russian helicopters have 42.5 percent and Rosoboronaxport has 7 percent stock. The project was stopped for several reasons in early 2022. India’s defense procurement board wanted to give more time to HAL to meet the development of its light utility helicopter (LUH) as indigenous option.

Apart from this, India needed 70 percent indigenous material, but Russia could only give 62 percent, because the engine was foreign. Now Russia may be able to offer more than 70 percent localization level with KA-226T operated by VK-650V developed by Russia.

Safety tips for new bike: If you have recently bought a new bike and running it at a speed of 80–100 km/h and enjoying the thrill, then stop. This habit can prove to be very harmful for your bike engine.

Actually, it is very important to behave properly for a few thousand kilometers with the new bike, which is called “running-in period” in the auto industry. Let’s know what precautions should be taken during this time.

Why is the running-in period important?

The running-in period is very important for any new bike, because at that time the engine, transmission and other mechanical parts are set by rubbing with each other. Since these parts are new, mutual coordination between them is gradually formed. If the bike is run at a high speed during this time, then these parts can start rubbing, which affects the performance of the engine, decreases fuel efficiency and the age of the bike also decreases. Therefore, it is important that the bike be slowly run, balanced and careful in the initial stages.

How to drive the bike in the first 2,000 kilometers?

In the first 2,000 kilometers, it is very important to run the bike correctly. For example, the company has set boundaries according to gear and speed for Bajaj Pulsar 150. During the first 1,000 kilometers, it is advisable to have a maximum speed of 10 km/h in the first gear, 20 in the second, 30 in the third, 35 in the fourth and the maximum of 45 km/h in the fifth gear. This speed limit is increased slightly for 1,000 kilometers subsequently, such as 15 in gear, 30 in second, 40 in third, 45 in fourth and maximum 55 km in fifth gear. During this time, more acceleration or sudden braking should also be avoided, so that there is not much pressure in the engine and transmission.

Do not run fast as soon as the bike starts

Many people start running the bike as soon as they start the bike, which is one of the most harmful habits for the engine. When you start the bike, it takes some time for the engine oil to fully reach all the parts and give lubrication. If you give the throttle immediately, the oil does not reach every part properly, which increases the wear and the engine can deteriorate prematurely. Therefore, after starting the bike, it should be left at the stand for at least 1 minute, so that the engine oil can be completely circulated and all parts can get proper lubrication.

In addition, there are many more precautions that should not be ignored. For example, regular checking of engine oil and to change the first service oil between 500 and 1,000 kilometers first. The bike should not run with more load or pillion in the beginning. It is very important to strictly follow the service schedule, especially during the first three free service. Also, before driving the bike, do check the status of chain tension, tire pressure and braking system so that there is no decrease in safety and performance.
