Ratan Tata's this company to invest Rs 330000000000 to launch seven new…, will create challenge for Anand Mahindra's…
Tata Motors is set to invest around Rs 33,000 crore to Rs 35,000 crore during FY26-30 for 30 product initiatives, like the launch of seven new models. The automaker also plans to focus on integrating advanced technologies and powertrains across its passenger vehicle lineup. With these efforts, Tata Motors wants to achieve a market share of 16% by FY27 (including EVs) and further increase it to around 18-20% within the 2-3 years. The auto major expects the domestic passenger vehicle industry to grow to 60 lakh units annually by 2030. 'Looking ahead, we will strengthen our portfolio by FY30…7 new nameplates and 23 product refreshes will holistically enhance the portfolio,' the company said in a presentation to analysts. There would be intense action on investment spend (Rs 33,000 crore-Rs 35,000 crore during FY26-30) focused on innovative new products, software-driven vehicles (SDVs), advanced technologies and powertrains, it added. The company plans to drive in products in the high-growth segments. The company stated that in the PV segment, it aims to deliver robust market-beating growth with an always new and expansive portfolio. Besides, it plans to expand its sales network to increase service capacity in line with volumes. The automaker stated that it also aims to lead the industry in core emerging technologies, software-driven vehicles (SDVs). Specifically for the EV business, the company expects to maintain its leadership position, with electric vehicles projected to account for 20 per cent of its total passenger vehicle volumes by the end of FY27, rising further to 30 per cent by FY30. Two new products – and – will help the company capture volumes in the growing segment, it noted. Tata Motors also plans to structurally enhance the total cost of ownership through product interventions to capture the CNG fleet customer base. The auto major is planning to enhance the charging network to instil confidence in buyers from smaller towns. Overall, it aims at EBITDA breakeven in the overall EV business by FY26. Elaborating on the industry trends, Tata Motors said its rapid growth in consumption, growing penetration of PVs in line with growing GDP and faster replacement cycles are some of the factors going to fuel the sector. It also noted that the SUV body style would continue to dominate and the MPV body style is also likely to grow sharply in the domestic market. The company also highlighted tapering hatchback shares due to higher entry prices and fewer new nameplate launches. Tata Motors expansion plan can affect other existing car sellers like Anand Mahindra's Mahindra and Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki and give them tough competition in all segments. (With Inputs From PTI)

'Dr. G. Madhavi Latha Garu is my #MondayMotivation': Anand Mahindra's Monday Motivation is Madhavi Latha
Anand Mahindra's Monday Motivation post Industrialist Anand Mahindra 's widely followed #MondayMotivation posts usually highlight excellence across diverse fields. But this time, he chose to shine a light on a woman whose dedication spanned nearly two decades and contributed to one of India's most ambitious infrastructure projects. A skilled geotechnical engineer and Professor at IISc Bengaluru, she was instrumental in the completion of the Chenab Railway Bridge; a promise she kept for more than 17 years," Mahindra posted, talking about Dr. G. Madhavi Latha . He ended with his now-infamous line: "Dr. G. Madhavi Latha Garu is my #MondayMotivation." Anand Mahindra's Monday Motivation Meet G Madhavi Latha, IISc professor, worked on Chenab Bridge project As India marked the opening of the Chenab Railway Bridge on June 6, the world's tallest railway bridge at 359 metres above riverbed height with the limelight irresistibly turned to the imposing structure. 35 metres taller than the Eiffel Tower, the bridge is a part of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL) and cost Rs 1,486 crore to build, as per the reports. But beneath the shiny steel and concrete stands a story of scientific excellence, particularly from the men and women who toiled quietly in the background. Among them, Dr. Latha's work in geotechnical engineering was invaluable to the project's success. Chenab Bridge construction: Dr. Latha's vital role in ensuring stability The Chenab Bridge was one of the most challenging in Indian railway history. Building infrastructure in the rugged Himalayas of Jammu and Kashmir, with seismicity, unstable slopes, and harsh climate, needed more than engineering prowess, but also resilience and ingenuity. For 17 years, as a consultant, Dr. Latha gave valuable inputs on: Structural stability Slope safety Placement and reinforcement of rock anchors These choices had a direct influence on the safety and longevity of the bridge in one of the most challenging environments on Earth. Dr. Latha's academic journey: From rural Andhra Pradesh to IISc Bengaluru expert Dr. Latha's inspirational journey started in a village in Andhra Pradesh. She acquired her in Civil Engineering from JNTU in 1992, proceeded with an in Geotechnical Engineering from NIT Warangal, where she stood first in her class. Her academic journey continued with a PhD from IIT Madras in 2000. She is currently a well-known professor at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, and a renowned expert in her field. She also wrote a scholarly article describing the intricate geotechnical challenges of the Chenab Bridge, presented in the Indian Geotechnical Journal. Dr. Latha's awards and recognitions Dr. Latha's outstanding work has won her numerous awards: Best Woman Geotechnical Researcher Award (2021) Featured among India's Top 75 Women in STEAM (2022) Her achievements were also welcomed by political leaders. Chandrababu Naidu, former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, welcomed her with praise, writing on X (formerly Twitter): "Another Telugu daughter has made India proud." Chenab bridge site access overcoming Himalayan challenges to begin construction Access to the site itself was a gargantuan task before construction work started on the Chenab Bridge. Engineers and laborers used mules and horses to cross the rugged Himalayas initially. Only after laying down temporary tracks and subsequently constructing 11 km and 12 km of permanent access roads on both riverbanks was equipment transport possible. This feat of logistics paved the way for the building of one of the world's most famous bridges. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened the Chenab Bridge, striding across its characteristic steel arch waving the national flag, it was not only an engineering achievement. The bridge symbolises a connection between Kashmir and the rest of India—a dream realised by hardworking contributors such as Dr. Latha. For Anand Mahindra, this moment was a reminder of the intellectual strength, determination, and nationalism that lie behind India's greatest successes.

Anand Mahindra Discovers A Hidden Gem For Jazz Lovers In New York
Industrialist Anand Mahindra recently went to New York and discovered a hidden gem for classic jazz lovers in Brooklyn. Taking to his X handle, Mahindra posted videos that he recorded at a jazz venue called "Brownstone Jazz", a place he says isn't just a venue, but a living tribute to the golden age of jazz. For the unversed, jazz is a type of music that features improvisation, syncopated rhythms, and a strong swing feel. In the videos, we see a space with dramatic lights, cosy vibes, and beautiful jazz music filling the air. Sharing his experience, Mahindra wrote, "Tucked inside the living room of a 19th-century brownstone and hosted by the homeowners, "Brownstone Jazz" isn't just a venue - it's a living tribute to the golden age of jazz. Part of the long tradition of intimate NYC jazz clubs, it's helping keep the genre alive with flair and finesse." New York is full of surprises — and for classic jazz lovers, one of its most soulful secrets is hidden in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Tucked inside the living room of a 19th-century brownstone,and hosted by the home-owners, 'Brownstone Jazz' isn't just a venue —… — anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) May 31, 2025 Further, he shares that the space has only 28 seats and it recreates the ambience of a "private salon, where every note feels personal and every solo echoes with history. The intimacy allows for a rare connection between the artist and the audience. Analogous to the ' mehfil ' in our part of the world." Mahindra shared four videos that capture the wonderful essence of the place as described in his post. The musicians here are not sidemen, continues Mahindra. "They include Grammy winners and world-class veterans of the jazz scene, each performance a masterclass in improvisation and storytelling. Between sets, the artists share anecdotes about legends of the genre - adding depth to the experience." He ends his post by suggesting his followers not to miss this experience if they are visiting New York. Deeply impressed with the venue, he concludes, "It's a reminder of how jazz was meant to be heard."
