SMK Helmets has signed an exclusive, season-long partnership with 21-year-old Indian racer Kavin Quintal for the 2026 motorsport season.

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles is signalling a broader fuel strategy rather than a single-minded EV pivot. Petrol remains its largest base, but CNG has become a major volume pillar.

The Tata-owned luxury carmaker is resetting its cost base after a difficult FY26 marked by lower volumes, tariff pressure, China weakness and production disruptions.

Maruti Suzuki promises a minimum 10 percent overall cost benefit on labour, plus savings on components and consumables.

India has also emerged as a key export base for the parent group, with locally produced machinery being shipped to more than 135 international markets.

Pricing for the Model Y L starts at ₹61,99,000. The company has also introduced a financing programme.

Passenger vehicles, two-wheelers and three-wheelers saw record May volumes, driven by lower GST and improved financing access.
