To mark the 24th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas, the Indian Army and TVS Motor Company have sponsored an all-female motorcycle rally. This rally honors the unwavering spirit of the Indian Army women serving under Headquarters Northern Command. The Nari Sashaktikaran Women Motorcycle Rally extends from the National War Memorial in Delhi to the Kargil War Memorial in Drass, Ladakh, attracting 25 riders riding atop TVS Ronins.

The 25 female riders will be astride the TVS Ronin, TVS’s modern-retro motorcycle. The Ronin is powered by a 225cc single-cylinder air/oil-cooled engine that makes 19.93 Nm and 20.4 PS.
