#MiG21Farewell may've ended an era of excellence in combat operations and a formidable force to defend Indian airspace against US backed enemy in times of tight budgetary provisions, but even the 4th gen rivals will remember the punch it had delivered in recent ops.1

Welcome to Andhra Pradesh, Royal Enfield! Expect a smooth ride powered by our Speed of Doing Business, a strong green energy ecosystem for your EV journey, and a talented young workforce ready to drive the future of mobility.
Delighted to have met the delegation led by Managing Director & CEO Shri B. Govindarajan to discuss Royal Enfield’s proposed integrated motorcycle manufacturing project at Vaneluru and Rallakuppam villages in Satyavedu Mandal, Tirupati district.
The proposed project involves an investment of nearly ₹2,500 crore and a manufacturing capacity of 9 lakh motorcycles per annum. The project will include a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, testing track, R&D centre, and a dedicated vendor park ecosystem.
Importantly, the project is expected to generate nearly 15,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities, creating significant economic activity and industrial growth in the region.
I have assured continued support from the Government of Andhra Pradesh in ensuring speedy clearances and accelerated execution. Our goal is to help complete the project in 18 months instead of the proposed 24 months. Our Speed of Doing Business will ensure the project moves faster, and now Royal Enfield must match it with equal Speed in Project Execution.
I was also pleased to learn more about Royal Enfield’s first-ever electric motorcycle, the Flying Flea C6 (FF.C6). We further discussed the future of sustainable mobility and Andhra Pradesh’s growing leadership in the energy transition through large-scale development of solar, wind, pumped storage, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and other renewable energy ecosystems.
As India moves towards cleaner mobility and energy security, Andhra Pradesh is committed to building the infrastructure, manufacturing ecosystem, and policy support required to emerge as a major hub for future mobility, advanced manufacturing, and green industrial growth.

The isolator helmet was a device invented by Hugo Gernsback in 1925 to help people concentrate and eliminate distractions. The helmet was made of wood and felt, and had three pieces of glass that allowed the wearer to see only a narrow slit in front of them.
The helmet also blocked out all sounds, and had a tube that supplied oxygen to the wearer. The idea was that by isolating the senses, the wearer could focus better on reading or writing.
However, the helmet also had some drawbacks, such as making the wearer drowsy after 15 minutes, and being very bulky and uncomfortable. Gernsback claimed that the helmet was 90-95% efficient in blocking out noise, but he only made 11 helmets and they disappeared by 1926. The isolator helmet was featured in Gernsback’s magazine Science and Invention, and later inspired other similar devices such as the Helmfon.
