Volkswagen Taigun Facelift: Design Updates
The facelifted Taigun will reportedly feature a reworked front grille and updated LED headlamps, reflecting Volkswagen's new design language seen on models like the Tiguan R-Line. Spy images also hint at revised rear styling, including redesigned taillamps. While the front and rear will see notable updates, the side profile appears mostly unchanged, featuring body-coloured door handles, roof rails, and a blacked-out B-pillar.

Volkswagen Taigun Facelift: Interior and Features
Inside, the Taigun facelift is expected to borrow design cues from the Tiguan R-Line, including a similar dashboard layout and digital displays. A major anticipated upgrade is the addition of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)—a feature currently missing in the existing Taigun but common in segment rivals like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and MG Astor.
Overall, the Volkswagen Taigun facelift aims to strengthen its market position by offering visual updates and tech enhancements, while maintaining its proven powertrain options.

Mumbai: Western Railway suburban locals to get indigenous 'Kavach' safety boost by end of next year
In a major boost to commuter safety on one of the world's busiest suburban rail networks, the Western Railway is set to equip its Mumbai local trains with the indigenous anti-collision system, Kavach, by the end of next year, officials have said. Kavach is a state-of-the-art electronic system developed under the 'Make in India' initiative that is presently being installed on Delhi-Mumbai as well as some other trunk routes.

AWS has an audible warning system that alerts the driver about the aspect of the upcoming signal, along with additional features like speed monitoring and braking assistance, an official said. Live Events "The AWS panel in the motorman's cab has an alarm, a vigilance button, and red, yellow, or blue lights. If the alarm sounds, the motorman must press the button within four seconds, or the brakes will activate and stay locked until the train stops completely," he said. However, according to railway officials, the AWS often falls short in preventing critical safety incidents such as Signal Passed at Danger (SPAD) and signal jumping. Its limited automation and reliance on manual response reduce its effectiveness in averting potential accidents, they added. Officials said Kavach is better than the existing AWS as it integrates advanced features designed to prevent collisions, manage train movements, and ensure adherence to signal systems. The system ensures real-time communication between trains and signalling stations, reducing human error and improving operational efficiency. Key features include automatic brake application in case of red signal violations, compatibility with existing signalling infrastructure, and in-cab signalling for safer operations in low-visibility conditions, they added. Kavach also prevents rear-end and head-on collisions, monitors speed continuously, and enables faster response during emergencies, officials said. "Work has begun on the transition to Kavach. All suburban locals on Western Railway will be equipped with Kavach in addition to mainline locomotives by the end of next year. This step marks a significant improvement in onboard safety and collision prevention," a senior WR official said. The system continuously monitors train movement, compares it against permissible speed limits and signal indications, and automatically intervenes to apply brakes if needed, he added. As of 2025, Western Railway has laid out plans to implement Kavach on over 2,358 route kilometres, with its commissioning on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route expected by the end of the current fiscal, officials said. "Kavach is poised to significantly improve railway signalling systems and ensure enhanced passenger safety. Deployment of Kavach will not only enhance security in the service but also aid efficiency," Western Railway chief public relations officer Vineet Abhishek told PTI. Other routes will follow soon, officials said.

To drive sale of EVs, government to clarify they are exempt from 15-year 'end of life' norm
. NEW DELHI: In a bid to increase the penetration of electric buses, cars and trucks, and to spur their sales, government is likely to clarify soon that the 15-year 'End of Life' (EoL) regulation isn't applicable to EVs. The power ministry will also expedite extending the CAFE norms (regulations designed to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions) to urban freight vehicles, trucks and buses. These were among the steps finalised at a recent high-level meeting chaired by Niti Aayog member Rajiv Gauba amid concerns over the slow progress of EV penetration in the country, which was barely 7.6% in 2024, as against the target of 30% by 2030. While EV penetration is higher for two- and three-wheelers and buses, it has been slow for four-wheelers, with e-trucks not having taken off so far. Sources said that responding to an observation from road transport secretary V Umashankar that most over 15-year-old buses are privately owned, Niti Aayog CEO BVR Subrahmanyam suggested that if the 15-year EOL regulation is not applied to EVs, it may spur sales. Umashankar also held that a mandate for EV adoption works best at places where a certain level of penetration and ecosystem are in place. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like When the Camera Clicked at the Worst Possible Time Read More Undo Sources said there was a consensus to move from incentives to mandates and disincentives for faster EV adoption and for strategies to have saturation in five cities for buses, para-transit and urban freight vehicles. A source said there was unanimous agreement on the need for fast expansion of charging infrastructure, deployment of fast chargers, development of new battery technologies to reduce import dependence and easier finance for e-buses and e-trucks. Days later, the finance ministry held talks with banks to address their reluctance to finance EVs and the issue of higher interest rates. At the meeting chaired by financial services secretary M Nagaraju, banks urged govt to standardise batteries, bring down vehicle costs and announce some incentive for purchase of new batteries, considering that batteries usually have to be replaced in 6-7 years and account for 40-50% of the cost of EVs.

Key stretch to HSVP mkt in a state of disrepair, riddled with potholes
Gurgaon: The 300-metre stretch leading up to HSVP market in Sector 23 has been in a state of disrepair for the last one month, posing serious safety risks to commuters and pedestrians, especially during the monsoon. Despite repeated complaints, no action has been taken. The road is riddled with potholes and a huge crater, making it hazardous for motorists and two-wheeler riders. Residents said the recarpeting work was last taken up before the assembly election in Oct last year, but the condition has deteriorated rapidly. The residents also pointed out that there is no stormwater drain along the road, and the existing sewer line constantly overflows. They further claimed that the eateries in the market are dumping oil directly into the sewer line. Residents said streetlights often don't work at night, making it even more dangerous to navigate the broken stretch.

"The condition has become unbearable over the past few weeks. This road caters to a huge population not only in our sector but in the surrounding area as well. After a few spells of rain, the asphalt started peeling off, making it difficult to commute," said Harish Nair, RWA president of Sector 23 (East Pocket). When contacted, an MCG official said the matter was brought to their knowledge. "We will fill the potholes to make it motorable. Bituminous work will be taken up after the monsoon."
