Tesla Model Y LWB With Three Rows Leaked; Here's What Else It Offers
The new long-wheelbase iteration of the electric car is dubbed the Model Y L with three rows of seating. Along with more space and extra seats, this iteration will also bring more power. Diving into details, the new iteration of the car will have six seats, likely captain seats. To accommodate it, the car now has a length of 4,976 mm, which is 186 mm longer than the standard Model Y. Along with it, the height has increased by 44 mm.
Since it's the long-wheelbase version, Tesla has extended the wheelbase to 3,040mm, or 150mm longer than the current five-seat Model Y. Along with the added length, the new Y L gets a few changes in aesthetics with a new design for the wheels, an updated spoiler, and new seats. Chances are, the car will likely get new paint scheme options as well.
Based on the leaked documents, the Tesla Model Y L will also come with more power compared to the five-seat version. It will have an output of 455 hp, which is more than 443 hp on the five-seat version. This increased grunt might come in handy to handle the extra weight. Along with it, there are chances that there will be another seven-seat version of the car on the market. However, the launch timeline of both models is still unclear.

Steps on to take number of 'Lakhpati Didis' to 2 crore by Aug 15: Chouhan
Nearly 1.5 crore women have already become 'Lakhpati Didis' in India and the Centre is making efforts to raise the figure to 2 crore by August 15, Union Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said. 'Lakhpati Didi' refers to a woman member of a Self-Help Group (SHG) who earns an income of ₹1 lakh or more per year. Mr. Chouhan on Saturday (July 19, 2025) visited the Indian Council of Agricultural Research - Directorate of Groundnut Research in Junagadh town of Gujarat, where he reviewed its activities and interacted with farmers and Lakhpati Didis of SHGs, the Press Information Bureau (PIB) said in a release. In his address, Mr. Chouhan said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken a resolve to make every woman a Lakhpati Didi. "Why should any woman remain poor? This campaign is being run across India. Till now, 1.5 crore women have already become Lakhpati Didis and my department is constantly taking steps to make 2 crore women Lakhpati Didis by August 15," he said. In Junagadh, there are women who are already earning more than ₹10 lakh per year, the Minister pointed out. "Women living in rural areas have proven that they can do wonders if they are provided with opportunity, training and bank linkage. These women are the true torchbearers of 'Vocal for Local'. I am confident that these women will build a 'Viksit Bharat' (developed India) as envisioned by PM Modi," said the Minister, who also handles the rural development portfolio. Mr. Chouhan lauded women for their contribution in this regard. "Keep pushing forward with courage. PM Modi himself stands with you to ensure all possible support. Plans are underway to increase women's participation in the industrial sector. The hard work of women will help build a Viksit Bharat as envisioned by the PM," he said. Stating that agriculture is still the backbone of Indian economy and for him, the Union minister said serving farmers is equal to worshipping God. "I don't just sit in my Delhi office. Instead, I visit agricultural fields, interact with farmers and try to provide a solution to their problems. Our PM also gives highest priority to agriculture," Mr. Chouhan said in his address. Earlier on Saturday (July 19, 2025), Mr. Chouhan offered prayers at the famous Somnath temple in Gir Somnath district and visited the Devaliya Safari Park near Gir National Park at Sasan.

With growing disposable income, middle class is embracing cruise: Sarbananda Sonowal
Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal says a five-fold surge in cruise passengers in India over the past decade has been fuelled by rising disposable incomes, a growing appetite for premium travel experiences and a greater awareness of cruise tourism. Edited excerpts from an interview with Shantanu Nandan Sharma: How realistic is the government's target of doubling the number of cruise passengers from about half a million now to 1 million by 2029? Explore courses from Top Institutes in Select a Course Category PGDM Project Management Leadership Data Science MCA Degree Digital Marketing Product Management Public Policy Healthcare healthcare Finance Management MBA Artificial Intelligence Data Science Technology Design Thinking Cybersecurity Others Operations Management others CXO Data Analytics Skills you'll gain: Financial Analysis & Decision Making Quantitative & Analytical Skills Organizational Management & Leadership Innovation & Entrepreneurship Duration: 24 Months IMI Delhi Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Online) Starts on Sep 1, 2024 Get Details In 2013-14, the number of sea cruise passengers was only 84,000, which increased to about 500,000 in the last financial year. This shows a growth of almost 500% in just 11 years, also reflecting on the future growth potential in the sector. In FY2024-25, 93 international cruise vessels called at Indian ports. This huge growth has happened due to the concerted efforts of the government to provide a very good cruise tourism ecosystem in the country by bringing about changes in the policy that was dormant for decades, providing financial and tax incentives, adopting international best practices, creating cruise infrastructure, including world-class cruise terminals, and various other cruise-tourism friendly measures. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Most Beautiful Female Athletes in the World Click Here Have you noticed the trend of more upper middle-class Indians experiencing cruise tourism now? Cruise tourism is gaining strong traction among India's upper middle class segment. Growing disposable income at the hand of a burgeoning middle and upper middle class is enabling them to increasingly embrace cruise as a preferred leisure choice. This surge is driven by rising disposable incomes, growing aspirations for premium travel experiences and increased awareness of cruise holidays. The Maritime India Vision 2030 projects an eightfold expansion of the Indian cruise market by 2030, citing increasing demand from the middle and upper middle classes. Live Events But does India have enough new-age cruise terminals? There are six cruise terminals in Mumbai Port, Cochin, New Mangalore, Visakhapatnam, Chennai and Goa. The Mumbai Port international cruise terminal has been recently renovated, and the upgrade of the Goa Port cruise terminal is in progress. Further, cruise ships also visit the Andamans, Lakshadweep and Puducherry. Puducherry as a cruise destination had its first call only earlier this month. Also, India's river cruise tourism is witnessing robust growth, with 15 river cruise circuits operational across 13 National Waterways (NWs) spanning nine states. The number of NWs supporting river cruises has risen from just 3 in 2013-14 to 13 in 2024- 25, while luxury river cruise vessels have increased significantly from 3 to 25 during the same period. To boost inland water-based tourism, 51 additional cruise circuits have been identified on 47 NWs for development by 2027. Three world-class river cruise terminals are also planned, with construction already underway at Kolkata. Why are many cruise liners still hesitant to make Indian ports their home ports? The phenomenal growth of India's cruise sector is supported both by domestic and international ship calls. At present, Delhi-based Waterways Leisure Tourism Ltd has homeported one ship. Homeporting is a strategic decision of cruise liners, but our government has been proactively working on numerous aspects to make India a preferable destination.
