9SEPTEMBER 2026Hyundai enters the sub-4m EV segment to drive mass adoption and lift its electric share. The company currently derives only about 1 per cent of its volumes from electric vehicles. Managing Director and CEO Tarun Garg expects that share to rise to roughly 7­8 per cent in the next financial year, in line with the broader industry.A dedicated mass-market EV built on a new architecture will anchor this push. The model targets the high-volume sub-four-meter category already populated by strong rivals. Let's take a look at the product plan, the sales ambition, the supporting ecosystem and the longer-term powertrain mix. Food giants stand at the center of India's warning label showdown. Their earlier resistance to front-of-pack labels has shaped a protracted policy contest. The government now confronts sharp criticism from opposing camps. Health experts judge the latest proposal too weak, whereas food companies judge the same rules excessively strict.The dispute lays bare tension between public health objectives and commercial interests in India's packaged-food market, valued at more than USD 100 billion. A recent raid involving fake labels has added a further dimension of scrutiny. This analysis traces the evolution of the dispute, examines the substance of the proposed labels, and records the latest development involving the same global brands. India's G20 stand rests on a clear reality: a trade deficit of over USD 100 billion with China and rising concern about supply chain risk. At the G20 Finance Track, India backed a US-led push that calls on countries with large and persistent external surpluses to fix domestic distortions that limit consumption and lock growth into exports.India now operates 29,151 public EV charging stations, a figure that has risen nearly six-fold since 2022. This expansion marks solid progress in building the country's charging network. Yet the same numbers raise a clear question: how close does the current base bring India to its 2030 goals?The government aims for 30 per cent EV penetration in new vehicle sales by that year. Industry projections show the country will need far more chargers to support the expected fleet. This analysis reviews the present scale, the size of the 2030 requirement, and the uneven geographic spread that could shape the next phase of growth. New Sugar Stock Limit brings tighter controls on sugar dealers as the government seeks to curb hoarding, excessive stockpiling and rising retail prices ahead of the festive season. The centre has reduced the stock holding limit from 4,000 quintals to 2,000 quintals, with the new limit effective from September 15 to November 30, 2026.However, the 4,000-quintal limit will continue in Kolkata and its extended metropolitan areas due to specific market requirements. The move comes as sugar prices remain elevated and festive demand is expected to increase. Through these temporary restrictions, the government aims to ensure adequate sugar supplies, protect consumers from further price hikes and maintain greater price stability in the market.
