Nissan Tekton exports

Nissan Motor India announced the commencement of exports for the Tekton on September 1, 2026. The automaker stated that the Tekton will be sold in South Africa, Bhutan, and Nepal. For this first batch, the company said it has dispatched a total of 1,300 units to the three countries.

Nissan India’s domestic wholesales grow by 147 percent YoY

Tekton’s launch has helped drive momentum for the brand

Nissan India’s domestic wholesales increased by 147 percent year-on-year to 3,246 units in August 2026, up from 1,384 units registered in the corresponding period last year. The growth was driven by the domestic market rollout of the Tekton alongside sustained volumes for its existing SUV portfolio, according to Nissan.

However, international export dispatches across all models totaled 5,924 units during the month, down 23.7 percent year-on-year from 7,769 in August 2025. This reduction in exports offset the large gain in domestic wholesales, with total wholesales increasing marginally by 2.2 percent from 9,153 units to 9,350 units year-on-year.

Saurabh Vatsa, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India, said, “The response to the Nissan Tekton has been encouraging and has contributed to a strong domestic wholesale performance in August.” Nissan said that the initial shipments to South Africa, Nepal, and Bhutan represent the first phase of the model’s overseas rollout, with plans to expand dispatches to additional export destinations as production scales up.

Market Trend : बैंक, NBFCs, ऑटो और रियल एस्टेट पर दबाव बने रहने की उम्मीद, चुनिंदा IT शेयर कर सकते हैं आउटपरफॉर्म

Market Trend : US-ईरान टेंशन,कच्चे तेल में उछाल और बढ़ती बॉन्ड यील्ड से बाजार डर गया है। निफ्टी करीब दो सौ प्वाइंट टूटकर 23850 के नीचे है। मिडकैप-स्मॉलकैप शेयरों में बिकवाली का ज्यादा प्रेशर है। हालांकि बैंक निफ्टी की रिकवरी की कोशिश हो रही है। इधर क्रूड 96 डॉलर के ऊपर है तो इंडिया VIX 4 परसेंट उछला है। आज ऑटो शेयरों में सबसे ज्यादा बिकवाली आई है। ऑटो इंडेक्स 2 परसेंट से ज्यादा नीचे आया है। आयशर, बजाज ऑटो निफ्टी के टॉप लूजर हैं। वहीं रियल्टी, IT, कंज्यूमर ड्यूरेबल्स और डिफेंस में भी कमजोरी है। लेकिन चुनिंदा PSU बैंकों में खरीदारी दिख रही है।

बाजार: आज कहां हो नजर

बाजार पर अपनी राय साझा करते हुए सीएनबीसी-आवाज के मैनेजिंग एडिटर अनुज सिंघल ने कहा कि आज रेट सेंसिटिव सेक्टर्स पर काफी दबाव हो सकता है। बैंक, NBFCs, ऑटो और रियल एस्टेट पर दबाव दिख सकता है। सबसे ज्यादा दबाव गोल्ड फाइनेंस शेयरों पर रह सकता है। पिछले 2-3 दिनों से आवाज़ पर मणप्पुरम, मुथूट फाइनेंस पर निगेटिव नजरिया रहा है। हालांकि निवेशकों के लिए खरीदारी के मौके भी हैं। हिंद जिंक और बाकी मेटल शेयरों में भी काफी दबाव दिख सकता है। श्रीराम फाइनेंस, चोला फाइनेंस जैसे ऑटो फाइनेंस शेयर भी गिर सकते हैं। रियल एस्टेट और हाउसिंग फाइनेंस शेयरों में भी दबाव संभव है।

चुनिंदा IT शेयर आज Outperform कर सकते हैं। कल IT शेयरों ने अच्छी रिकवरी दिखाई है। डॉलर और कच्चे तेल का ऊपर आना और कोस्पी का नीचे आना IT के लिए एल्गो पॉजिटिव है। आखिर में, India VIX अपनी Complacency से बाहर आ रहा है। गिरते बाजार में VIX का ना बढ़ना ठीक संकेत नहीं था।

FIIs लगातार शॉर्टिंग कर रहे हैं और उनका ट्रैक रिकॉर्ड बढ़िया है। इस तरह की शॉर्टिंग वो आमतौर पर 500-1000 अंकों के लिए करते हैं। 24,600 से हम पहले ही 24,000 तक आ चुके हैं। 23,950 नहीं बचा तो 23,600-23,800 भी संभव है। 24,200 के ऊपर निकले तभी कोई शॉर्ट कवरिंग संभव है।

निफ्टी पर रणनीति

अनुज सिंघल ने कहा कि निफ्टी के लिए सबसे अहम सपोर्ट 23,950-24,000 पर है। इसके नीचे फिसले तो अगला बड़ा सपोर्ट सिर्फ 23,800 पर होगा। निफ्टी के लिए पहला रजिस्टेंस 24,100-24,150 पर और बड़ा रजिस्टेंस 24,200-24,250 पर है। 24,000-24,050 के रिजेक्शन पर बिकवाली करें। सख्त SL 24,100 पर रखें। खरीदारी तभी करें जब 23,900-23,950 को बचाए,सख्त SL 23,875 पर होना चाहिए।

बैंक निफ्टी पर रणनीति

अनुज सिंघल ने कहा कि बैंक निफ्टी कल ठीक 200 DMA पर बंद हुआ। बैंक निफ्टी में अब तक 57,000-58,000 की रेंज रही है। आज 57,000 टूटने का रिस्क रहेगा। 57,400-57,500 के रिजेक्शन पर बिकवाली करें,SL 57,600 पर रखें। खरीदारी तभी करें जब बैंक निफ्टी 57,900-58,000 को बचाए, SL 57,800 पर सेट करें।

Mitsubishi Pajero returns after 5-year hiatus

Mitsubishi Pajero returns after 5-year hiatus
5th-generation Mitsubishi Pajero front quarter static

The fifth-generation Mitsubishi Pajero has debuted, marking a comeback for the SUV nameplate after its 2021 discontinuation. Like the previous-generation model, the 2026 Pajero has a ladder-frame chassis and gets a four-wheel-drive (4WD) setup with a low-range transfer case. It is offered only with a diesel engine and has a fairly modernised exterior and interior design in its fifth-generation avatar.

  1. The diesel engine produces 480Nm and is mated to an 8-speed AT
  2. Has a wheelbase of 2,870mm and offers a 230mm ground clearance

Ather Konarc S 161 review: The next big thing?

Ather Konarc S 161 review: The next big thing?
Ather Konarc S 161 review: The next big thing?

It’s not a stretch to say that the Konarc is the most important product from Ather yet, because the company hopes this new EV will help it unlock segments and markets hitherto untouched by it. The question then is, will the Konarc live up to the lofty expectations placed on its shoulders?

Konarc Design and Quality – 9/10

Straightforward design with high quality finish

The Konarc S is offered in four classy yet inoffensive colours

Striking looks aren’t a trait family scooters are known for and Ather wanted to play it very safe with the Konarc to bring in buyers that typically shop for ‘decent-looking’ scooters. While it does look a bit plain, it will still not completely meld into the ocean of humdrum two-wheelers on the road. Further reinforcing its family scooter aspirations are a quartet of very classy, yet inoffensive colours. 

Another aspect that the Konarc’s prospective customers will appreciate is its excellent finish and quality levels all across – a typical Ather trait. 

Konarc Ride and Handling – 9/10

Excellent ride and seating comfort, planted and surefooted handler

One big reason Ather moved to the new EL platform is that its earlier platform was never built for outright comfort and practicality. In this application, the main focus was to maximise comfort for both rider and pillion. The use of a 14-in front wheel and suspension with 90mm/100mm (F/R) of travel are two key factors in providing lovely ride comfort here. 

31L boot is deep enough to fit a premium helmet

Point the Konarc towards most bumps and it will round them off without getting unsettled while isolating you from the shock to a great extent. In the scooter space, this is one of the most comfortable options available. Ofcourse, this is still a scooter and really big bumps will filter through – don’t expect motorcycle-like comfort. 

SpecificationsValues
Wheelbase1352 mm
Kerb Weight126.5 kg
Chassis typeMonocoque Full – Steel Body Construction

Something that a typical family scooter buyer values is a centre stand and the Konarc becomes the first Ather to offer it. Like other family scooters, the Konarc’s chassis is geared towards stability and ease of use. Despite the larger 14-in wheel and long 1352mm wheelbase, it felt very straightforward to ride. Its low 770mm seat height will help shorter folks get their feet down comfortably although its wide floorboard will have an impact here. 

Main stand can touch down in deep ruts

A spacious seat with a padded backrest means two full-size riders will fit comfortably on the Konarc. Another nice feature is that the front end doesn’t get flighty even with a heavy pillion onboard, despite no preload adjustability on the monoshock. The only ergonomic miss is that riders taller than 5’10 will find their knees touching the handlebar during full-lock turns.

SpecificationsValues
Wheel SizeFront – 14 inch, Rear – 12 inch
Front Tyre Size90/90-14
Rear Tyre Size100/90-12
Brake typeFront – Disc, Rear – Drum
Front Brake Size220 mm
Rear Brake Size130 mm
Front Suspension TypeTelescopic Fork, 90mm travel
Rear Suspension TypeDual Hydraulic Coil Spring, 100mm travel

Konarc Performance – 8/10

Has enough performance, new motor has very silent running 

Not only is the Konarc a big leap ahead in terms of comfort, its riding experience is also well-suited to city commuting. A big part of that is down to the comfort but its new swingarm-mounted motor also contributes here. Unlike the Rizta and 450 which used a rather noisy and relatively more maintenance intensive belt final drive, this motor is whisper quiet. It also directly powers the rear wheel without a chain or belt, reducing the number of components in the powertrain. 

SpecificationsValues
Fuel Type/ PropulsionElectric
Motor TypePMSM
Max Motor Power4.7 kW
Max Motor Torque16 Nm
EV Battery Capacity2.7 kWh

With 4.7kW and 16Nm of torque on tap, the Konarc’s performance is best described as sufficient, but only in the top Power mode. Here, the scooter is capable of negotiating its way through big city traffic reasonably quickly. Switching to Eco / SmartEco dulls acceleration significantly and unless you’re running out of juice or you live in a small town, this level of performance will feel out of place. 

450W onboard charger integrated into motor controller means you only need to carry a small cable around

Except for the bottom 2.1, all S variants come with a front disc brake, a rear drum and CBS. This setup is capable of bringing the Konarc to a halt quickly and safely with almost no hiccups. The one concern with the combined braking system was that the front could lock up when braking on sandy, gravelly loose surfaces using the rear brake lever exclusively. Only the Z variants launching next year come with Ather’s AeBS (Advanced Electronic Braking System) which uses the regen system to shorten braking distances. 

Konarc Features – 8/10

S variants are decently equipped but Z gets all the feel-good ones

And that is a good segue into the way Ather has distributed features across the S and Z. The keyless ignition system, automatic seat opening, AeBS, Magic Twist regen braking, traction control, the colour TFT display and all the smart functions enabled by it are reserved only for the Z. Common to all Konarcs is the 31L underseat storage area, which can easily swallow an imported full-face helmet with room to spare. 

7-inch dash informative and legible but not full colour

What three S variants (except the most affordable one) get is the 7-in simple TFT dash with Bluetooth connectivity, hill hold assist, reverse, several app-based functions, a 450W onboard charger and Airwalk. Airwalk is basically the Konarc’s motor sending a tiny amount of power to the rear wheel when you’re pushing it around to help make your life easier – this is truly effective and makes the 129kg Konarc feel far lighter than it is when moving it around. While the S has a good number of features, when you bring pricing into the equation, it stings a little. 

Same charging port for both onboard & portable chargers

Konarc Price and Verdict – 8/10

Not a cutthroat price but this is still a polished and competitive scooter

The two S variants which are on sale right now, S 125 and S 161, are priced at Rs 1.22 lakh and Rs 1.45 lakh, respectively – near identical pricing to the Rizta S. Like the Rizta, you have to pay extra for the Ather StackPro which unlocks many of the smart electronic features. 

The base S 2.1 (Rs 99,999) misses out on niceties like the disc brake and backrest and comes with rudimentary tech and a basic 4.2-in display. In that sense, the Konarc isn’t really pushing the envelope when it comes to an alluring price. 

VariantPrice (ex-showroom)
Konarc S 100Rs 1 lakh
Konarc S 125Rs 1.22 lakh
Konarc S 161Rs 1.45 lakh

However, as a scooter, the Konarc is a well-thought out product that nails comfort, promises enough performance, predictable range and lower maintenance costs. Ather claims a 10,000km / 1 year service interval and lower service charges owing to fewer parts and quicker turnaround times. 

It may not have made as stellar an impression as it could have with more aggressive pricing, but nonetheless the Konarc definitely has what it takes to elevate Ather to a higher echelon in the market.

Volvo EX90 pros and cons explained

Volvo EX90 pros and cons explained
2 reasons to choose the Volvo EX90, 2 reasons not to

Volvo’s flagship EV, the EX90, has been on sale overseas since 2022. Ahead of its launch on October 12, the manufacturer has revealed details of the India-spec model. It will be sold here in the range-topping ‘Ultra’ variant, which we got to experience recently. If you are interested in the flagship Volvo EX90, here are two reasons to choose it and two reasons to think otherwise.

Reasons to buy the Volvo EX90

Offers a comfortable driving experience on all types of roads 

The Volvo EX90 features an air suspension system that offers a good balance between ride comfort and handling. The car takes microseconds to adjust to the various undulations on the road. Volvo is offering this system with three adjustable modes: Soft, Standard and Firm. ‘Soft’, as the name suggests, offers a comfortable drive over broken roads at medium to high speeds, but it results in a bit more body roll, which does not make it feel confident. ‘Standard’ offers a comfortable ride on bad roads but without feeling overly soft in the corners. ‘Firm’ adds a layer of stability through sharp corners and high speeds.

Has adequate performance and impressive cabin insulation

The India-spec Volvo EX90 Ultra will be offered with a 106kWh battery pack powering dual electric motors producing 456hp and 670Nm. Volvo claims a 0-100kph time of 5.5 seconds, which is fairly quick given its size. However, the SUV builds speed linearly, and the powertrain feels more relaxed and laid-back. Volvo is offering the EX90 with four driving modes: Range, Standard, Performance and Off-road. Even in ‘Performance’ mode, outright zippy acceleration associated with EVs is missing, and the SUV builds up pace gradually. 

As engine sounds are absent on an EV, wind and road noises that filter into the cabin tend to get amplified, especially with larger wheels. However, this is not the case with the Volvo EX90, which offers top-notch cabin insulation. This keeps the cabin feeling near-silent. 

Reasons not to buy the Volvo EX90

Essential drive settings buried within the infotainment system menus

The Volvo EX90’s dashboard is devoid of buttons. All functions can be accessed through the steering-mounted controls or the massive 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system that sits in the centre of the dashboard. Simple but essential tasks such as adjusting the outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs) require navigating menus and multiple inputs, which is neither convenient nor safe while on the move. Some hard-coded climate control functions are in the bottom section of the touchscreen, but operating them requires taking your eyes off the road.

Inconsistent brake bite point

Volvos are generally known for offering a strong safety suite, and the flagship EX90 is no different. However, the braking performance is inconsistent due to a variable brake bite point. This is because the EX90 employs regenerative braking with traditional hydraulic brakes, and the transition, depending on the battery’s state of charge and drive modes, causes the bite point to vary.

As mentioned earlier, the Volvo EX90 will launch on October 12. It is expected to have a small premium over its ICE counterpart, the XC90, which currently starts at Rs 98.80 lakh (ex-showroom).

Ather Konarc S 125 vs rivals: Price and specifications compared
A studio shot showing the Ather Konarc, Chetak C3001, TVS iQube, and Vida VX2 Go.

Ather recently launched its first scooter on the completely new EL platform. Called the Konarc, it is currently available in six variants, starting at Rs 99,999 and going up to Rs 1.45 lakh at the moment. However, it appears that Ather is looking to make sure that there’s a Konarc at every price range. The most affordable Konarc S with 100km range isn’t going to be available until early next year, which makes the Konarc S 125km range variant the entry-level Konarc. So, how does it compare to the offerings from legacy manufacturers? Let’s find out.

These scooters rarely compare 1:1 in specifications, but if we take range as the most important factor, these are Ather Konarc’s closest rivals. As such, the Vida VX2 Go is the most powerful here, while the iQube develops the most torque. However, the Chetak quotes the highest range of the lot, and it sweetens the deal further by offering the fastest bundled charger (750W) and the shortest 0-80 charging time.

Ather Konarc S 125 vs rivals: Dimensions and underpinnings

The C3001 and the Konarc have the longest and second-longest wheelbase, respectively, and they’re on the heavier side as well; the latter is explained by their metal body panels. Seat height is more or less on par, but if you care about the minutest of numbers, the Vida VX2’s is the tallest of the bunch. However, we wouldn’t expect that to deter buyers from choosing the Vida.

Ather Konarc S 125 vs rivals: Brakes, tyres and suspension

Konarc is the only one with a 14” wheel

Suspension (F,R)

Ather’s biggest advantage over the others is its 14-inch front wheel, something none of the other scooters has. It also has the widest rear tyre, even though they all use 12-inch wheels. As for brakes, Chetak is the only one here without a disc brake. It is also the only one to feature a leading-link front suspension, paying homage to the design used on the original petrol-powered Chetak of yesteryear, whereas the others get a more modern telescopic fork.

Ather Konarc S 125 vs rivals: Features

Basics sorted, with more features requiring subscriptions

Ather has reserved the top-shelf feature set for the Konarc Z line, which is slated to release late next year. As standard, the Konarc gets the largest-in-size 7-inch LCD cluster. It also has AirWalk, a feature that will make manually moving the scooter easier. No other scooter in this comparison can match that. The iQube gets a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster, the C3001 gets a monochrome LCD cluster, and the VX2 Go 3.1 gets a 4.2-inch LCD. They all also offer ride modes and basic smartphone connectivity as standard.

However, most of Ather’s tech features require Ather StackPro, which costs Rs 16,000 for the Konarc S 125km variant. This is a big add-on to the overall price of the scooter, but it is a one-time purchase. If you spring for it, you do get a lot of features such as TrueRange, AutoHold and Vehicle FallSafe. Ather also promises yearly software upgrades and new features, a claim no other manufacturer on this list can meet or beat.

The other scooters also require a paid subscription to access the full feature suite. However, Ather’s is the most expensive and has the highest number of features. Chetak offers a lifetime subscription to its TecPac for Rs 3,000. Vida and TVS charge Rs 999 and Rs 900 per year, respectively, for theirs.

Ather Konarc S 125 vs rivals: Price

TVS is the most expensive, while Vida is the most affordable

Vida VX2 Go 3.1

Rs 1.22 lakh

Rs 1.29 lakh

Rs 1.14 lakh

Rs 1.12 lakh

Of this lot, the Konarc S is the second most expensive scooter to buy, behind only the TVS iQube. If you prefer to keep things simpler, both price-wise and features-wise, the Chetak and the Vida offer that: a lean feature set with promising range for the price. However, remember that real-world experience, such as comfort, can change this equation, and we can only comment on that after riding them.

Hero MotoCorp

देश की सबसे बड़ी टू-व्हीलर कंपनी Hero MotoCorp की घरेलू बिक्री अगस्त में 4.5% बढ़कर 5.42 लाख यूनिट रही। स्कूटर की बिक्री बढ़ने से मोटरसाइकिल की बिक्री में आई गिरावट का असर कम हुआ। कुल बिक्री और एक्सपोर्ट मिलाकर डिस्पैच 2.6% बढ़कर 5.68 लाख यूनिट रहे।

Coal India

सरकारी कोयला कंपनी Coal India ने अगस्त के ई-ऑक्शन में 210.66 लाख टन कोयला ऑफर किया। इसमें से 82.76 लाख टन की एलोकेशन हुई। यानी करीब 39% कोयला बिका। खास बात यह रही कि औसत कीमत नोटिफाइड प्राइस से 59% ज्यादा रही।

NMDC

सरकारी खनन कंपनी NMDC ने अगस्त में उत्पादन बढ़ने की जानकारी दी है। कंपनी का कुल उत्पादन बढ़कर 40.7 लाख टन हो गया। एक साल पहले अगस्त में यह 33.7 लाख टन था। वहीं, बिक्री 35.8 लाख टन रही, जो पिछले साल 33.9 लाख टन थी।

Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder

Introduced in 2022, the Urban Cruiser Hyryder and Maruti Grand Vitara were the first products co-developed through the partnership between Toyota and Maruti Suzuki. Currently, the Hyryder is Toyota’s bestselling SUV in India, averaging 7,000-9,000 units a month. If you are considering the Hyryder, we will help you decide whether this midsize SUV is suitable for you or whether you should look elsewhere.  

Reasons to buy the Toyota Hyryder

Efficient strong hybrid engine

The petrol engine in the strong hybrid version runs on the Atkinson cycle that prioritises efficiency. Coupled with the battery and motor, the Hyryder can run temporarily on pure electric power, which helps curb fuel consumption. In our real-world fuel efficiency tests, the Hyryder strong hybrid delivered much higher efficiencies than the mild hybrid petrol automatic version: 20.28kpl in the city and 22.85kpl on the highway compared to 10.83kpl and 15.67kpl, respectively. Do note that this test was done before the rollout of E20 fuel.

Well-judged ride and handling

A combination of tough underpinnings and well-judged suspension helps the Hyryder have a balanced ride and handling setup. It handles tough roads with ease, and even the sharp surfaces are absorbed quite well. At higher speeds, the Hyryder remains glued to the road and composed, while direction changes and cornering abilities are predictable. Even when cornering, body roll is kept to a minimum despite its high 210mm ground clearance, which is remarkable.

AWD availability

The Hyryder is among the few models in the very crowded midsize SUV space to offer AWD. Available solely with an automatic gearbox, it comes with Suzuki’s AllGrip Select all-wheel-drive system, bringing decent off-road capability for the Hyryder, especially for those who regularly drive in snowy or slushy conditions. With the help of terrain modes and the ability to send 50 percent of its power to the rear wheels, it can tackle challenging roads.

Reasons not to buy the Toyota Hyryder

Engines lack outright performance

Strong-hybrid versions of the Hyryder are optimised for fuel efficiency over outright performance. Thus, drivers looking for a turbo-petrol-like exhilaration won’t be satisfied, as it lacks midrange punch. Apart from the strong hybrid, there’s also a mild hybrid version that utilises a 103hp, 139Nm 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. Though it has enough pep in the city, as with the strong hybrid, you’ll find yourself longing for more power on the highway. Overtakes will require careful planning and working your way through the gears. At 14.01 seconds, the mild-hybrid’s 0-100kph time is slow by segment standards.

Limited boot space

With a capacity of 355 litres, the mild hybrid-powered Toyota Hyryder has one of the smallest trunks in the segment. Additionally, the Hyryder strong hybrid’s high fuel efficiency comes at the cost of boot space, which is reduced further to 255 litres because of the lithium-ion battery pack placed beneath it. This could be a dealbreaker for those who carry large suitcases on road trips.

Smaller EVs will arrive as soon as charging network is ready: Maruti MD Takeuchi

Maruti Suzuki plans to add smaller EVs to its India line-up once it has developed the charging infrastructure needed to support them. At the company’s annual general meeting, Managing director and CEO Hisashi Takeuchi said, “As soon as our EV charging will be ready in India, we will add smaller EVs in our portfolio.”

  1. More than 2,000 exclusive chargers installed across 1,100-plus cities
  2. Claims around 90 percent share of India’s EV exports
  3. Plans to build EVs, hybrids, CNG and ICE cars on the same line

Maruti Suzuki’s charging network plans

Maruti Suzuki has partnered with 13 charge-point operators and has already installed more than 2,000 exclusive charging points across over 1,100 cities. The company is also working to improve charging coverage on highways and expressways, while its plan for the top 100 cities calls for chargers at key locations around 5-10km apart.

The carmaker has set a larger target of more than 1,00,000 charging points across India by the end of this decade. The company has linked the introduction of smaller EVs to the expansion of this charging network.

Maruti currently sells the e Vitara as its only EV in India, while competitors Tata Motors and JSW MG Motor India already have smaller electric models on sale.

Maruti Suzuki expands EV exports

Maruti Suzuki is also expanding its electric vehicle exports. “We have started our EV exports to Europe first. Now, we are the largest exporter of EVs from India, with about 90 percent share in total EV exports from India,” he said. Takeuchi said the company exports vehicles to nearly 120 countries and shipped more than 4.4 lakh vehicles last year, a 34 percent increase overall. 

Japan has become Maruti’s second-largest market, according to Takeuchi, while the company expects trade agreements to create further export opportunities in markets including the UK, Germany and France.

ICE, hybrid and CNG investments to continue

Maruti Suzuki will continue investing in internal-combustion engine, hybrid and CNG vehicles alongside EVs. Takeuchi said ICE vehicles would remain an important part of the company’s business, with compressed biogas also expected to support their continued demand.

“Investment in ICE facilities will continue to be an integral part of our manufacturing process,” he said. The company is designing its new manufacturing facilities to build different types of vehicles on the same production line, allowing production to be adjusted as demand changes. “In our new plants, we can make EVs, hybrid vehicles, CNG and ICE vehicles on the same line,” Takeuchi said.
