JK Tyre Orange 4×4 Fury winners
Over 50 vehicles participated in this year’s edition
The 2025 JK Tyre Orange 4×4 Fury was held across the Namsai, Lohit, Lower Dibang Valley and East Siang districts of Arunachal Pradesh. The three-day event featured a mix of terrain – from riverbeds and dense forest trails to gravel.
Competition was divided into two broad categories. The Pro-Mod category was reserved for purpose-built and heavily modified off-road machines. The Stock category, meanwhile, featured production-based 4x4s with limited upgrades.
A total of 50 vehicles participated across the two categories. Each team fielded two vehciles, allowing crews to support each other during the long endurance stages in case of any breakdowns.
2025 Rainforest Challenge India winners Ujjal Namshum (co-driver Sujeewan) and Chethan Chengappa (co-driver Sachin Sakia) of MOCA Team took victory in the headlining Pro-Mod category. Krishna Phani Dhanekula (co-driver Prudhvi Sistla) and Bhaskar Raju (co-driver Mutthu Kumuran) won in the Stock category. And finally, Joi Basar (co-driver) Ringam Doni secured victory in the women’s class.
