Financial Express Mumbai|April 18, 2024
INDIA WILL BE host to German trucking giant Daimler's only electric vehicle plant outside of Europe and Japan when it launches a locally-made electric light cargo truck in FY25.
SWARAJ BAGGONKAR

Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), the whollyowned arm of Daimler Truck AG, which sells medium and heavy trucks and buses under the brand Bharat Benz, said it will launch the next-generation eCanter in India in the next 6-12 months.

The vehicle will be brought to India from Japan in the form of kits and later assembled at the Chennai-based facility of DICV. Japan is the only manufacturing base for the eCanter whereas Europe serves as an assembly location.

The launch will also pave the way for Bharat Benz's foray into the 3.5 to 7.5 tonne truck segment. The brand was absent from this segment, which is dominated by Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland.

₹100L-crore property value unlocked in villages: PM

CALLING UPON INDUSTRY leaders present at the event, Modi said: \"A good business environment used to be a part of your wishlist.

Budget abandons the lesser gods - 1

It is most probable that the 'giveaway' of a cut in the income tax was decided at the highest levels of the government. Which section of the tax-payers should get the benefit? Aw shucks (as Mr Trump would have said), let every income tax payer get it! Hence, the decision to raise the threshold of taxable income from ₹7 lakh to 12 lakh. The FM said it would cost 1,00,000 crore
