<p>The Indian government has implemented a major revision of traffic violation fines effective from March 1, 2025, aiming to improve road safety and deter reckless driving. Fines have increased up to 10 times, with serious offences like Hit and Run now falling under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, carrying penalties of up to 10 years in prison and ₹7 lakh in fines. Common violations such as drunk driving, overspeeding, and using a mobile phone while driving now attract significantly higher penalties and possible jail time. Juvenile offences will hold guardians accountable with hefty fines and imprisonment. The stricter laws also promote timely medical help for accident victims and encourage responsible driving behaviour.</p>

New Traffic Rules in India 2025: Massive Fines, 10-Year Jail for Hit and Run

<p>When buying a used car, factors like depreciation and resale value are crucial. Sedans, while less popular than hatchbacks or SUVs, still enjoy a niche demand. Among them, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire stands out under ₹5 lakh, with a low depreciation rate due to its reliability, low maintenance costs, and efficient engines. It depreciates steadily over five years and retains value better than many rivals. In the mid-size sedan segment under ₹10 lakh, the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz offers even better value retention than the Honda City or Hyundai Verna. Despite being discontinued in 2025, the Ciaz remains sought after for its spacious interiors, premium styling, and frugal engine options. Both sedans share key traits like comfort, affordability, and reliability, which contribute to their strong resale value in the used car market.</p>

<p>India’s roads are facing a silent emergency: traffic challans worth over ₹12,000 crore were issued in 2024 alone, yet three out of four remain unpaid. This blog unpacks the alarming state of driving behaviour in India, from widespread violations and habitual offenders to a worrying culture of conditional compliance. Using data from CARS24, government records, and public surveys, it explores why fines aren’t enough, how enforcement falls short, and what it will take to truly reform road safety. With insights on policy gaps, corruption, and citizen apathy, the blog calls for a cultural shift—from rule-following out of fear to civic responsibility born of belief. A must-read for anyone concerned about India’s traffic crisis and the future of safe mobility.</p>

<p>The Maruti Suzuki Baleno and Tata Altroz are two strong contenders in the premium used hatchback segment. The Baleno, with its long-standing popularity and wider availability in the used car market, offers excellent resale value, lower ownership costs, and reliable performance. Older models are available at more affordable prices, making it an ideal choice for budget-conscious buyers prioritizing efficiency and ease of maintenance.</p><p>In contrast, the Tata Altroz appeals to buyers who value design, safety, and comfort. Though fewer used models are available, the Altroz boasts a 5-star safety rating and better ride quality. However, its maintenance costs are significantly higher and resale values are slightly lower in some regions.</p><p>Depreciation rates between the two are similar, though region-specific trends favor the Altroz in some cities. Ultimately, the Baleno is better for buyers seeking cost-effective reliability, while the Altroz is ideal for those prioritizing safety and premium feel at a competitive price.</p>

Second Hand Santro vs Grand i10 vs Wagon R The Used Hatchback With Best Resale Value

<p>The Hyundai Santro, Hyundai Grand i10, and Maruti Suzuki Wagon R are popular choices in the Indian used car market, known for their practicality and low running costs. The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R stands out with its strong resale value, reliable service network, and fuel efficiency, making it a low-risk, high-reward purchase. The Hyundai Grand i10 offers a more refined driving experience, better cabin quality, and additional features, making it ideal for those seeking comfort at an affordable price. The Hyundai Santro, although depreciating faster, is the most budget-friendly option, offering low maintenance and practicality, especially for first-time buyers. In terms of depreciation, the Wagon R retains the best value in the long term, while the Grand i10 and Santro depreciate slightly faster after a few years. Maintenance costs are lowest for the Wagon R, making it the most economical choice in the long run.</p>

<p>While all vehicles depreciate over time, different body types lose value at varying rates. According to the CARS24 2024 Used Car Market Report, hatchbacks offer the best resale value among hatchbacks, SUVs, and sedans. Thanks to their lower cost, better fuel efficiency, low maintenance, and strong urban demand, hatchbacks retain around 60% of their value even after five years. SUVs maintain good value in the first three years but depreciate faster afterward, while sedans experience the steepest drop due to shifting buyer preferences toward SUVs. Understanding these trends can help buyers make smarter, more cost-effective vehicle investments.</p>

Why Hatchbacks Offer the Best Resale Value Against SUVS and Sedans

<p>Starting July 1, 2025, Delhi has banned refueling for diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years, even if registered outside the city. This initiative aims to curb severe air pollution by targeting high-emission, end-of-life (EoL) vehicles. Enforcement includes ANPR cameras, on-ground teams, and strict penalties. Vehicle owners are encouraged to check eligibility, consider retrofitting to CNG, sell outside Delhi, or scrap affected vehicles.</p>
