Heavy lift safety? Newer heard about...
Is it how NEVER is spelt in India?
Actually, 'Newer' and 'Never' are homophones in many dialects of Indian English:

Indian English

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

...Standard Hindi and most other vernaculars (except Punjabi, Marathi, Assamese & Bengali) do not differentiate between /v/ (voiced labiodental fricative) and /w/ (voiced labiovelar approximant). Instead, many Indians use a frictionless labio-dental approximant [ʋ] for words with either sound, possibly in free variation with [v] and/or [w] depending upon region. Thus, wet and vet are often homophones.
