Welcome to Motor Dost your trusted companion in the world of Indian automobiles
My name is Aditya Todkar, a BSc graduate and Web Designer based in the historic city of Satara, Maharashtra.
But beyond degrees, coding, and websites, I am at heart a hardcore automobile enthusiast.
From bikes and cars to RTO rules and electric vehicles, automobiles have always been more than just machines for me — they are a part of daily life in India.
While living in Satara and traveling across different parts of Maharashtra, I noticed a serious problem:
Automobile information in India is confusing.
Most automotive news, RTO (Regional Transport Office) rules, insurance details, and GST calculations are written in:
Complicated English
Technical jargon
Misleading or unrealistic claims
I saw friends, family members, and even experienced vehicle owners struggle with:
Confusing RTO rules
Hidden insurance clauses
GST & registration costs
Unreal “company-claimed mileage” figures
That’s when I decided to bridge the gap.
Motor Dost was created to explain automobile topics in simple language the way a friend would explain it to you.
At Motor Dost, we don’t copy-paste press releases or write content just for clicks.
Everything is built on two strong principles:
I write every article the same way I would explain it to my own brother or friend.
If a topic is not easy to understand, it doesn’t belong on Motor Dost — whether it’s:
A new SUV launch
An RTO modification rule
Insurance terms
EV charging costs
We don’t blindly trust lab-tested mileage or brand claims.
Instead, we focus on:
Real-world mileage
Indian road conditions
Daily traffic usage
Practical ownership costs
Because what matters is how a vehicle performs in real Indian life, not on paper.
