Lower running costs remain the biggest advantage of CNG vehicles, particularly for city commuters and commercial users. However, reduced performance, compromised boot space and long queues at fuel stations remain concerns for many buyers. Larger and premium vehicle segments also continue to offer limited CNG options.

A Coimbatore consumer commission has taken a firm stand against Royal Enfield and one of its dealers, mandating them to pay ₹5.1 lakh to a buyer whose Continental GT 650 was plagued by continuous defects. The motorcycle endured over 294 days of repairs, yet the persistent mechanical and electrical failures remained unresolved, causing the owner significant inconvenience and financial strain.

Over the last few years, more manufacturers have started offering such schemes across multiple segments, including affordable city EVs and premium electric SUVs. Here’s a look at the electric vehicles in India currently available with Battery-as-a-Service plans, along with the benefits offered by each brand.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warns of US weaknesses in defense and supply chains. He announces a ten-year, $1.5 trillion initiative to invest in critical sectors. This plan targets advanced manufacturing, defense, energy, frontier technologies, and pharmaceuticals. Investors are watching closely as economic strength and national security become increasingly linked.

Rear passengers continue to get dual 13.1-inch touchscreen entertainment screens, while the previous rear control tablet has been replaced by two smaller touch-based controllers. The cabin retains leather upholstery and optional wood trim finishes, while the climate vents are now integrated behind illuminated metallic panels with electrically adjustable airflow controls.

VinFast is restructuring its Vietnam manufacturing business in a $530 million deal, creating a new entity, VFTP, to handle production and associated liabilities. This move aims to improve capital efficiency and accelerate the EV maker's path to profitability, with VFTP potentially exploring contract manufacturing. The core VinFast business will focus on R&D, sales, and customer service, adopting an asset-light model.

Ultraviolette Automotive has delayed its Tesseract electric scooter launch to January 2027, aiming to set a new benchmark with India's first 100V scooter architecture. This engineering pivot allows for 15 kW peak power from a 4 kWh battery, significantly exceeding current market offerings.

India is set to revolutionize its mechanized warfare with the Future Infantry Combat Vehicle (FICV) program, replacing aging BMPs with advanced, indigenous platforms. This multi-billion dollar initiative emphasizes drone integration, digitization, and high-mobility capabilities, marking a significant shift towards self-reliance in defense manufacturing and modernizing the Army's battlefield prowess.

The latest fuel hike may also influence transmission preferences. While automatic gearboxes have become increasingly popular in urban markets, buyers focused on lower running costs could favour AMT-equipped vehicles over less efficient torque converter automatics. Electric vehicles are another segment expected to benefit, particularly among urban buyers with access to home charging.

Inside, the Luce adopts a minimalist cabin layout centred around the driver. The interior uses leather and aluminium materials, with a four-seat arrangement. It features a slim three-spoke steering wheel inspired by older Ferrari models and uses physical buttons for functions such as indicators, wipers and cruise control.
