The initial pricing for the RWD model stands at Rs 59.89 lakh, while the long-range variant is set at Rs 67.89 lakh.

In India, the rear-wheel drive variant of the Tesla Model Y can be purchased with either a 60 kWh battery or a larger 75 kWh battery pack.

How Wai Wai noodles went from Nepal's kitchens to global shelves
As Wai Wai launched its new range of instant cup noodles last month, founder Binod Chaudhary took a moment to reflect on how it all began. The Nepal-based brand first hit the shelves in 1984, entering the market quietly, but it did not stay quiet for long. In no time, Wai Wai shook up the instant noodle scene. The brand made its Indian debut in the Northeast, gradually winding its way across the country. So, what prompted Binod to take that first bold leap? He recalls a moment of serendipity: 'That was 35 years ago. Travellers returning from Thailand with bags of instant noodles sparked my curiosity as a bystander,' he says. 'The businessman in me spotted a gap. Even though Maggi ruled the market, I believed Nepal deserved its own brand.' His decision was not met with universal support. 'Many advised me not to bother,' he admits. 'But facing those doubts only pushed me harder. I wanted to create something that would become a staple snack, and I'm proud we did.' Wai Wai now positions itself as the third-largest instant noodle brand in India. It reported revenues of ₹800 crore and is aiming for ₹1,200 crore by 2026. What began as a single product has grown into a portfolio of 200 to 250 SKUs, with a footprint in over 30 countries. Part of what made Wai Wai stand out from the very beginning was its packaging, and how people could eat it. Each pack came with a tastemaker, flavoured oil, and a spiced powder, offering more than just convenience. It offered choice. 'It was the versatility that set Wai Wai apart,' says Binod. 'From day one, you could eat it straight from the packet as chur-mur (a type of snack where the ingredients are crushed and peppered with potatoes and spices), boil it into a hot noodle soup, or mix it into snacks like Wai Wai bhel or alu mimi, a comforting, runny potato curry with crushed noodles that's popular in Darjeeling.' The inspiration came from Thailand, where he had observed people eating noodles in all kinds of creative ways. 'We took that idea and adapted it for Nepal. Especially the chur-mur style, in flavours like Schezwan and tomato — it really clicked with the younger crowd. Over time, it became a snack loved across generations.' Wai Wai's journey began in a modest factory in Saibu, Bhainsepati, in Nepal's Lalitpur district. By 2006, the brand had made its first international leap, setting up a factory in Rangpo, Sikkim. Today, Wai Wai has product lines like Wai Wai Xpress and Wai Wai Quick, catering to a global audience. But the idea was not just about noodles, it was about bold diversification. Binod Chaudhary, then running his family's textile business, Arun Emporium, saw an opportunity in food. 'I believed Nepalese consumers would welcome a different taste and more flexibility,' Binod says. 'We introduced flavours like spicy chicken and veg masala, now pantry staples across Nepal and India. Our initial success at home gave us the confidence to grow into India, where we tailored products for local preferences with flavours like jain masala and tomato chatpata.' To get the flavours just right, the early team travelled to Thailand, studying how noodles were made and consumed. 'We kept the name 'Wai Wai' from the Thai brand — it was catchy and worked well in our markets,' Binod adds. 'Flavours like classic masala and chicken were refined through trials and feedback. Our first taste-testers were our own families and young people in Kathmandu. That local connection mattered.'

Dhanuka Agritech slips 19% in 2 days post Q1; Axis Sec downgrades to 'Hold'
Dhanuka Agritech share price today: Shares of Gurugram-based agrochemical manufacturer Dhanuka Agritech fell around 6 per cent to hit an intraday low of ₹1,547.6 after it reported a weak set of numbers for the June 2025 quarter (Q1FY26). At 12 PM, Dhanuka's share price was trading 4 per cent lower at ₹1,578.7 per share on the NSE. In comparison, NSE Nifty50 was up 0.44 per cent at 24,672.15 levels. The market capitalisation of the company stood at ₹7,122.22 crore. The stock has plunged nearly 19 per cent in the last two trading sessions. Dhanuka Agritech share price Dhanuka Agritech's profit after tax (PAT) jumped 13.52 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to ₹55.5 crore in Q1FY26, as against ₹48.89 crore in the same quarter last year (Q1FY25). The revenue from operations grew 7.03 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹528.29 crore in Q1FY26, from ₹493.58 crore a year ago. At the operating level, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) rose 16 per cent Y-o-Y to ₹83.19 crore, from ₹71.72 crore in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. Subsequently, Ebitda margin expanded to 15.75 per cent in Q1FY26, from 14.53 per cent a year ago. Dhanuka Agritech FY26 guidance The company said, in its investor presentation, that it is expecting higher double-digit growth in its revenue for FY26, while Ebitda guidance remains in line with 2024-25. Dhanuka Agritech Q1 results analysis - Axis Securities According to analysts at Axis Securities, Dhanuka commenced FY26 on a cautious note, posting a 7 per cent Y-o-Y revenue growth in Q1, driven by 5 per cent growth in volumes and a 7 per cent improvement in realisations. The brokerage said that the delayed and uneven southwest monsoon affected timely kharif sowing, softening demand for agri-inputs like herbicides. Conservative farmer sentiment and high channel inventories also weighed on primary sales. However, improved rainfall by late June has brightened agricultural prospects, paving the way for a recovery in Q2. According to Axis Securities, Dhanuka's newly launched 9(3) product — Dinkar, a herbicide for paddy, has received a positive response, particularly in southern markets. The company is on track to launch additional products from its Dahej facility in H2FY26, including Kinzan, a Japanese fungicide (licensed from Nissan Chemicals) targeted at grapes and potatoes. "Furthermore, it plans to launch Melody Duo—a product acquired from Bayer CropScience—along with at least two more new products in FY26, which should support growth momentum," the brokerage said. Axis Securities has downgraded the stock from 'Buy' to 'Hold' with an unchanged target price of ₹1,800 per share, citing limited room for further appreciation at current valuations.
