Hyundai Creta becomes best-selling SUV for FY25

Since its launch in 2016, the Hyundai Creta has become a common presence on Indian roads. By March 2025, it had secured its position as the best-selling car in the country and concluded the financial year as the second-best-selling SUV overall, reflecting its sustained popularity in a crowded market.

Delhi’s EV Policy 2.0 targets 95% electric vehicles by 2027, with 20,000 jobs on the horizon

The Delhi Government is preparing to launch the second phase of its Electric Vehicle (EV) policy, which is expected to significantly advance the city's initiative for cleaner transportation. According to a report by PTI, the forthcoming EV Policy 2.0 will likely emphasize job creation, the development of the EV ecosystem, and achieving more significant reductions in vehicle emissions within the capital. Delhi's Environment Minister, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, has indicated that the updated policy aims to generate approximately 20,000 new jobs in the EV sector. These positions will encompass various roles, including the operation of charging stations and the management of battery recycling. The goal of these new employment opportunities is to facilitate the capital's shift towards clean energy while also providing fresh job prospects.

Brembo and Michelin team up to launch smart brake tech for future-ready cars. Check details

In an era increasingly characterized by advanced, interconnected vehicles, two leading automotive companies, Brembo—renowned for its high-performance braking solutions—and Michelin, a key player in the tyre industry, are collaborating to transform the interaction between modern vehicles and the road. This initiative goes beyond merely enhancing brake performance; it aims to foster an intelligent driving experience. Traditional brake systems rely on mechanical linkages and hydraulic pressure. In contrast, Brembo's innovative Sensify system introduces a digital, predictive model that adapts in real-time. Instead of a single, uniform response, braking is customized for each wheel, driven by data and electric actuation. The objective is to achieve precise control, improved safety, and seamless integration with next-generation vehicle systems.
