Tata To Launch Over 15 New Cars By 2030 – Sierra, Scarlet & More

GaadiWaadi -

Tata is looking to bring in a host of new products across different segments and price brackets and here is a sneak peek

Tata Motors has drawn up a long-term product roadmap that stretches all the way to 2030 with more than 15 launches in the pipeline. It will include facelifts, updated iterations and full model generations but the real highlight lies in the seven all-new nameplates slated to debut. They vow to consolidate Tata’s line-up substantially but only a handful of details are known yet.

At the forefront will be the eagerly awaited production version of the Sierra followed by the fully realised Avinya – a concept that has already generated buzz. While the Sierra is set to make its market debut ahead of the Avinya, the latter is tipped to take the crown as Tata’s most upscale offering yet and it will involve multiple iterations.

Tata is preparing to bring back the iconic Sierra badge by the end of this financial year with plans to offer it in both electric and petrol formats. The all-electric version will more likely have a lot in common with the recently launched Harrier EV and thus we can expect a claimed driving range of more than 500 km between charges.

The ICE option, on the other hand, will feature the company’s new 1.5-litre TGDI four-cylinder petrol motor which is capable of producing roughly 168 PS and 280 Nm of torque. In addition to the petrol and EV trims, the forthcoming Sierra will get Tata’s proven 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine – coupled with a six-speed MT or a six-speed AT.

Beyond this confirmed lineup, the company also teased several under-wraps projects during a recent dealer meet including the codenamed ICE Product A and ICE Product B along with a duo of electric offerings dubbed EV Product X and EV Product Y. To back this expansive roadmap, Tata has committed close to Rs. 35,000 crore.

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Export To Europe Begins, India Launch Next?

GaadiWaadi -

Over 2,900 units of the e Vitara were shipped from Pipavav Port in Gujarat to 12 European countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, Norway and France

Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) has commenced exports of Suzuki’s first Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), the e Vitara, in August. Over 2,900 units of the e Vitara were shipped from Pipavav Port in Gujarat to 12 European countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, Norway, France, Denmark, Switzerland, Netherlands, Sweden, Hungary, Iceland, Austria and Belgium.

The new milestone follows the event at the company’s Hansalpur, Gujarat manufacturing facility on 26th August where Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi commemorated the start of e Vitara production and hailed Maruti Suzuki as a brand ambassador of the ‘Make in India’ initiative. Exclusively manufactured at Maruti Suzuki’s Gujarat plant, the e Vitara is central to Suzuki’s plan of positioning India as a global production hub for EVs.

The made-in-India e Vitara will be shipped to over 100 countries worldwide while also being sold in the domestic market. The model has already been previewed internationally in Milan, Italy and showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in New Delhi, India earlier this year. Speaking on the new milestone, Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said,

“The Hon’ble Prime Minister’s recognition of Maruti Suzuki as a brand ambassador of ‘Make in India’ is the highest possible honour we could think of. The start of export of e VITARA to Europe is indeed a proud and defining moment for us. To delight customers in over 100 countries, the product has to be truly world class in terms of technology, design, safety and performance.”

TDS Lithium-ion Battery Gujarat, a subsidiary of Maruti Suzuki, has commenced local production of lithium-ion cells and electrodes too – becoming the first company in India to achieve electrode-level localisation. It marks a huge leap forward for the country’s EV and hybrid ecosystem as India will no longer have to rely entirely on imported cells for hybrid electric vehicles.

The newly manufactured batteries will first power Maruti Suzuki’s strong hybrid SUVs, starting with the Grand Vitara. Suzuki’s presence in India has grown massively with investments now exceeding one lakh crore rupees and generating over 11 lakh direct jobs across its vast value chain. Since operations began in 2017, the Hansalpur facility has produced millions of vehicles.

Back to the e Vitara, it will be available in two battery options with the claimed driving range going over 500 km between charges. Expected to launch in the coming months, the five-seater midsize SUV will be sold through Nexa dealerships.

BYD Reaches 10,000 EV Delivery Milestone In India

GaadiWaadi -

BYD has delivered its 10,000th electric passenger vehicle in India since operations began; currently sells four products

BYD has reached an important milestone in India by delivering its 10,000th electric passenger vehicle. The achievement shows the rising acceptance of premium EVs among Indian buyers. Over the years, the largest electric carmaker in the world has worked on more than just putting cars on the road as it also expanded its local presence consistently.

The retail and service network now boasts 44 dealerships across major cities alongside offering nationwide roadside assistance and extended warranty schemes. Partnerships have also played a role as one example being the tie-up with Relux Electric which is said to provide the BYD customers access to dependable charging infrastructure.

Globally, the Chinese carmaker has cemented itself as a dominant force in the NEV (New Energy Vehicle) sector. Having sold over 13 million NEVs worldwide, BYD claims to have cut carbon emissions by more than 106 billion kilograms by July 2025 – a figure equal to the absorption capacity of 1.77 billion trees.

Recognition has followed too: BYD has remained on Kantar BrandZ’s list of the Top 10 Most Valuable Global Automotive Brands for three years running with its current brand valuation pegged at USD 14.4 billion. The company is also making moves on the product front. It recently unveiled what it calls the world’s first all-terrain test circuit in Zhengzhou.

The versatile track is designed with asphalt stretches, off-road trails, wet handling zones and even simulated snow and ice surfaces. Commenting on the new milestone in India, Rajeev Chauhan, Head of Electric Passenger Vehicles Business at BYD India, said,

“Reaching the 10,000-customer milestone in India is a proud achievement that reflects the growing trust and enthusiasm for BYD’s vision of cleaner, greener mobility. Every vehicle we put on the road reduces emissions, advances EV technology, and strengthens a sustainable mobility ecosystem. Referrals from existing customers have also contributed to this growth, underscoring the confidence and satisfaction they place in our brand.”

BYD’s product line-up in India comprises the recently launched Sealion 7, the Atto 3 electric SUV, the eMAX 7 MPV and the Seal sedan. Established back in 2007, BYD India now runs two plants spread over 1.4 lakh square metres with investments exceeding USD 200 million. In 2024 alone, BYD sold more than 4.27 million NEVs worldwide with a 41 per cent year-on-year increase.

Mahindra Sees Nearly 76,000 Unit Sales In August 2025 – All Key Info

GaadiWaadi -

Mahindra’s utility vehicles contributed 39,399 units in the domestic market as wholesale numbers were deliberately moderated to minimise dealer stock

Mahindra & Mahindra reported total vehicle sales of 75,901 units last month – a figure that indicates a flat growth compared to the same month last year when exports are included. However, within this tally, utility vehicles contributed 39,399 units in the domestic market – recording a nine per cent drop year-on-year. Counting overseas shipments, the UV business reached 40,846 units.

It is worth noting that on the commercial side 22,427 vehicles were sold in India. Mahindra said the demand at the retail end remained good, particularly in the SUV segment, where Vahan registrations rose 7.4 per cent over last year. In the commercial vehicles space, registrations in the sub-7.5-tonne LCV category also displayed healthy momentum with a 16 per cent annual increase.

However, management acknowledged that wholesale numbers were deliberately moderated in August to minimise dealer stock ahead of the anticipated GST rationalisation. Breaking down the passenger vehicle business further, Mahindra’s year-to-date UV sales for FY26 (April to August period) stood at 2,09,148 units versus 2,41,337 units a year earlier with a 15 per cent decline.

By contrast, the commercial vehicle portfolio delivered some interesting results. Light CVs under two tonnes slipped by one per cent in August with 2,925 units while the 2–3.5-tonne LCV range improved by 13 per cent with sales of 19,502 units. The three-wheeler category including electric options remained a bright spot for the homegrown manufacturer.

It grew by 13 per cent in August 2025 – tallying 10,527 units. From April to August this year, three-wheeler volumes touched 40,561 units, a sharp 33 per cent climb compared to the 30,570 units recorded in the same period of FY25. Exports also supported the company’s overall performance. At 3,548 units in August 2025, shipments were up 16 per cent on a year-on-year basis.

Cumulatively, overseas volumes in FY26 reached 15,989 units with a 37 per cent gain over the 11,700 vehicles shipped during the first five months of FY25. From the sales performance it is apparent that the utility vehicles faced headwinds domestically last month but commercial vehicles, three-wheelers and exports more than offset some of the weakness.

Mahindra believes that the festive season, together with potential GST reforms, will help unlock additional demand and stabilise wholesale volumes in the coming quarters. Last month, Mahindra hosted the Freedom_NU event and showcased four new concepts and a brand new platform which will enter production in a couple of years.

Bajaj Auto Records 4.17 Lakh Units In August 2025 With 5% Growth

GaadiWaadi -

Bajaj posted total sales of 4,17,616 units in August 2025, resulting in a growth of 5 per cent over 3,97,804 units

In August 2025, Bajaj Auto recorded total sales of 4,17,616 units – a rise of 5 per cent over 3,97,804 units garnered a year ago. The top line number tells only half the story, though. Growth was driven from overseas while the domestic market remained muted especially on the two-wheeler side. Even so, the company managed to have a month-on-month momentum going into the festive period with exports shouldering more of the load than they did last year.

In two-wheelers, Bajaj posted 3,41,887 units in August – up 2 per cent on year. Domestic dispatches fell to 1,84,109 units with a decline of 12 per cent. Exports stepped in to balance the ledger, climbing 25 per cent to 1,57,778 units. In the commercial vehicle department, Bajaj delivered the month’s top notch performance.

Its volumes rose 21 per cent to 75,729 units – motivated by a huge 58 per cent jump in exports to 27,440 units. Meanwhile, the domestic CV sales advanced 7 per cent to 48,289 units last month. For a portfolio that tends to be cyclical, the breadth of growth across both home and export lanes is a positive read-through for the quarters ahead.

Look at the combined picture and the divergence is stark. The local sales across two- and three-wheelers came in at 2,32,398 units – down 8 per cent year-on-year. Exports, meanwhile, rose 29 per cent to 1,85,218 units. It pushes the export share of total monthly volumes to nearly 45 per cent – up from roughly 36 per cent in August last year.

Year to date, from April to August 2025, Bajaj has sold 18,94,853 units – up 2 per cent versus 18,54,029 units in the same period of 2024. The domestic volumes across segments are at 10,50,349 units – lower by 9 per cent – while exports have climbed 21 per cent to 8,44,504 units.

Sales in the two-wheeler space are effectively flat at 15,86,925 units for the April–August window as an 11 per cent decline in domestic dispatches to 8,52,732 units is countered by an 18 per cent rise in exports to 7,34,193 units. The commercial vehicles have done the heavy lifting – growing 14 per cent to 3,07,928 units.

Within that, exports surged 47 per cent to 1,10,311 units while domestic volumes edged up 1 per cent to 1,97,617 units – indicating a stable demand with stronger volume momentum overseas. If the improving export volumes sustain and festive buying lifts sentiment in India, the company is in for a successful tenure ahead.

Royal Enfield To Launch Electric And Hybrid Motorcycles In 2025-26

GaadiWaadi -

Royal Enfield, globally renowned for its cruiser and ADV bikes, is foraying into a completely unknown territory with the launch of electric and hybrid bikes

Royal Enfield is the first one among the mainstream two-wheeler brands in the Indian market to start work on electric and hybrid motorcycles. While the brand showcased two electric motorcycles namely C6 and S6 under the Flying Flea badging, it is also planning to roll out a 250cc hybrid bike. In fact, the Chennai-based auto manufacturer is also readying an all-electric version of the Himalayan, which has been tentatively titled as HIM-E. In this piece, we will talk about the upcoming Royal Enfield electric and hybrid motorcycles in 2025-26.

1. Flying Flea C6

The Flying Flea C6 debuted at EICMA 2024 in Milan, Italy in concept form. Fast forward to 2025, it has been showcased in multiple cities in India such as Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru. The brand’s first electric motorcycle has also been captured on the lens in Ladakh undergoing cold-weather testing. Sources reveal that production-ready C6 will break cover at the EICMA 2025 later this year, before eventually going on sale in Q1 2026 in India.

Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 flaunts a neo-retro look while based on the L platform. It has been spotted riding on alloy wheels with road-spec tyres. The company has extensively used aluminium in the electric bike to make it a lightweight model. The Flying Flea C6 boasts of a forged aluminium Girder fork as front suspension, reminiscent of the original Flying Flea in the 1940s.

2. Flying Flea S6

The S6 is the second Royal Enfield electric motorcycle which was showcased alongside the C6 at the EICMA 2024. It too has been spied testing in Ladakh, albeit with spoke wheels shod with off-road tyres. The S6 will be a Scrambler model and hence get several such elements in the form of front fender, handlebar and instrument cluster. It will also be sitting on the L platform identical to the C6.

Though technical specs are not in public domain yet, Royal Enfield has made it official that the Flying Flea S6 will be offered with a fixed battery pack with fast charging capabilities. The range and performance are kept under the wraps, but we expect the all-electric motorcycle to perform like a 350cc ICE-powered bike with a range of 150-200 km on a single charge.

3. Royal Enfield 250cc Hybrid Motorcycle

Reportedly, Royal Enfield is working on a 250cc hybrid motorcycle which will return a mileage of 50+ kmpl. The company is developing a new 250cc platform which has been codenamed as V. It is also in talks with the China-based CFMoto, which develops midsize engines globally, to source the 250cc engine with hybrid tech for the upcoming motorcycle. The 250cc engine will be designed to meet the ongoing BS6 Phase II emission standards and the upcoming CAFE norms, which kick in 2027.

Royal Enfield 250cc hybrid motorcycle will be the brand’s entry-level model with prices starting around Rs 1.30 lakh (ex-showroom). Presently, the Hunter 350 is RE’s most affordable bike in India with a sticker price of Rs 1.49 lakh (ex-showroom). The 250cc hybrid motorcycle could be launched by the end of 2026.

4. Royal Enfield E-Himalayan

Royal Enfield Himalayan Electric, also known as the HIM-E, is touted as the most powerful electric motorcycle from the brand. Reportedly, it will be powered by a 14 kWh battery pack with power output exceeding 100 bhp. The Himalayan Electric was recently spotted in a production-ready form in Ladakh. Though exact launch timeline is not revealed yet, we can expect it to debut somewhere around mid 2026.

5 Upcoming Mahindra Premium SUVs You Should Wait For!

GaadiWaadi -

Here we have explained about the 5 possible upcoming Mahindra premium SUVs that are expected to launch within the next 2 years in India

Mahindra’s XUV700 facelift has been undergoing regular test runs ahead of its possible debut in early 2026. The SUV is set to receive cosmetic revisions including reshaped bumpers, updated light clusters and newly designed alloy wheels. The flush type door handles will be carried forward as some cosmetic details will look familiar.

Consumers can expect changes to the rear profile along with the introduction of new paint shades. On the inside, the 2026 Mahindra XUV700 will more likely see noticeable upgrades despite retaining its current dimensions. Mahindra is expected to introduce new upholstery materials, refreshed trims and a new cabin theme to spice things up.

The biggest talking point will be a redesigned dashboard featuring a triple-screen layout as a large touchscreen, a fully-digital instrument console and a front passenger side display will be available. On the mechanical front, the familiar 2.0-litre petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engines are expected to continue largely unchanged.

The transmission options will continue to be a six-speed manual and a six-speed torque converter AT. We do expect plenty of modern features to trickle down from the XEV 9e and BE 6. Talking about those born electric duo, it is apparent that their initial reception has been more than positive as their sales numbers are soaring.

Hopping on the hybrid trend in the future, the homegrown manufacturer could bring in hybridised versions of the XEV 9e and BE 6 but no confirmation has been made yet. Mahindra is in the advanced stages of testing the XUV.e8 too – the battery-powered spin on the XUV700 that debuted as a concept earlier.

To likely launch as the XEV 7e next year, the premium three-row SUV will stick closely to the proportions and silhouette of its ICE counterpart but will distinguish itself with EV-specific touches like a blanked-off grille and unique lighting signatures. On the features side, it is expected to draw heavily from the brand’s dedicated born-electric lineup.

The production-spec Mahindra BE Rall-E could enter the market in the near future as well, based on test mules spotted in India. It is essentially a more rugged and off-road-focused electric iteration of the BE 6 and will likely share its 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery options with it.
