Update child's Aadhaar biometrics by age of 7: UIDAI
Lucknow: The Unique Identification Authority of India ( UIDAI ) has stressed the need for parents to complete the Mandatory Biometric Update (MBU) for children aged 7 who haven't updated their Aadhaar biometrics. This is a standard requirement, and updates can be done at any Aadhaar Seva Kendras or designated centres. For children under 5, Aadhaar enrolment includes a photograph, name, date of birth, gender, address and proof documents, but not fingerprints or iris scans, as these biometrics are not fully developed. "At the age of 5, the first MBU is required to capture fingerprints, iris, and an updated photo. This update is free if completed between ages 5 and 7. After 7 years of age, a fee of Rs 100 is applicable," said official source. Timely MBU completion ensures the accuracy and reliability of biometric data, preventing potential deactivation of the Aadhaar number if not updated post-7. Updated Aadhaar biometrics enable seamless access to services like school admissions, entrance exams, scholarships and Direct Benefit Transfer schemes. UIDAI is sending SMS reminders to registered mobile numbers to prompt parents to complete the MBU. "Parents are urged to prioritise this update to maintain their child's Aadhaar functionality and support ease of living," added source.

'See you at the charging station...': Anand Mahindra welcomes Elon Musk and Tesla to India
Tesla has officially entered the market with the opening of its first Experience Centre in Mumbai's upscale Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in a landmark move for India's electric vehicle (EV) landscape. This strategic location marks more than just a showroom; it represents Tesla's commitment to testing Indian waters and reshaping consumer expectations in a growing EV market. While production is yet to begin locally, the debut of the Tesla Model Y has created a ripple across the auto industry. Famous icons like Anand Mahindra have welcomed the competition, signalling the start of a new era in India's journey toward sustainable mobility. Tesla unveiled its first official showroom, named the Tesla Experience Centre, at Maker Maxity Mall, located in Mumbai's bustling BKC. The showroom offers a direct look at Tesla's futuristic technology, clean design, and innovation-driven ethos. Currently, the Tesla Model Y is the primary highlight: Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD): Rs 59.89 lakh (on-road) Long-Range Rear-Wheel Drive: Rs 67.89 lakh (on-road) Anand Mahindra welcomes Tesla 's entry into Indian market with open arms Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra shared his enthusiastic support for Tesla's arrival. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he posted: 'Welcome to India, @elonmusk and @Tesla. One of the world's largest EV opportunities just got more exciting. Competition drives innovation.' He also revisited a humorous exchange with Elon Musk from 2016, where he had invited Tesla to join India's EV journey rather than leave the field to Mahindra Electric alone. His message: 'The more the merrier—and greener.' Maharashtra aims to become global EV hub with Tesla's arrival Maharashtra government threw its weight behind Tesla's entry. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, present at the Experience Centre launch, expressed confidence in the state's capacity to support Tesla's research, development, and manufacturing. Fadnavis emphasised: Maharashtra's readiness with charging infrastructure and EV policies His 2015 Tesla experience in the US, adding emotional weight to the launch. The government's aim to transform India into a global EV hub. He added: 'Tesla is more than just a car company. It's about design, sustainability, and innovation.' No 'Made in India' Teslas yet as import duties double car prices Although Tesla has begun sales and service operations, the cars are currently imported, likely from its Shanghai Gigafactory. A 24,000 sq. ft. warehouse at Lodha Logistics Park in Mumbai will support storage and spare parts. Tesla has received a trade certificate from Mumbai's Andheri RTO, enabling test drives and demo sales. Union Heavy Industries Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy confirmed Tesla has no manufacturing plans in India—yet. Despite the excitement, India's import tariffs remain a challenge. Tesla's prices here are almost double compared to those in Europe and the US due to steep customs duties. Elon Musk has previously: Asked for a 70% duty cut for EVs under $40,000 Requested a complete waiver for more premium models However, India's government declined, with Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal reiterating that EV policy will stay open and not favour any one automaker. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump criticized potential India-based manufacturing as potentially 'unfair' to American jobs. Inside Tesla's Mumbai showroom : Premium design meets EV innovation The Mumbai showroom design reflects Tesla's sleek international branding, with: White walls and minimal layouts Lightboxes showcasing Tesla tech Indian touches curated by architect Neeta Sharada Tesla's message in India is clear: "Experience our cars, feel the future, and drive the change." While Tesla's launch in India has undoubtedly stirred excitement, the absence of a local production facility keeps prices high and scalability limited. But as demand grows and policies evolve, many believe Tesla may soon explore Made-in-India production. Until then, the EV race is heating up. And as Anand Mahindra aptly said, there's 'plenty of road ahead.' Also Read | Simpsons prediction of Labubu doll goes viral: Video sparks fear about creepy toy's dark origins

Another ride option for gig workers, office-goers in Bengaluru
Bengaluru: The city's gig workers, who often juggle long distances and tight delivery windows, have got another ride option. After a three-year hiatus, Bounce is back with a revamped scooter rental model that's being positioned as a no-frills mobility option — particularly for those working in delivery and other informal sectors. Rebranded as Bounce Daily, the service no longer offers the old dockless format, where riders can pick up and drop scooters anywhere in the city. Instead, it now operates through six designated hubs — Banaswadi, Hoodi, Yelahanka, HSR Layout, JP Nagar and RR Nagar — from where scooters can be rented for periods ranging from three days to an entire month, and must be returned to the same location. Bounce CEO Vivekananda Hallekere said: "Our first target is gig workers and office-goers. This is a practical solution for people who rely on two-wheelers for their livelihood."

Pricing starts at Rs 230-250 per day for longer rentals and goes up to around Rs 285 for short durations. Each scooter is manufactured by Bounce and features tamper-proof batteries, location tracking and insurance cover — designed to deter misuse and improve reliability. Before Covid-19, the company offered dockless mobility, operating nearly 30,000 scooters and catering to over 1.2 lakh riders daily in the city. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en Buenos Aires (ver precio) Verisure Más información Undo But it suffered from misuse, illegal parking and operational chaos. Post-pandemic, it is taking a more structured approach. "We're not ruling out the old "pick anywhere, drop anywhere model". But it will come back only with stronger user checks, better tech, and perhaps, a community-led referral system," Hallekere pointed out. The company is also exploring integration with dark stores of food and quick-commerce companies, offering doorstep rentals for gig workers. Bounce's electric shift positions it differently from competitors — it's now a battery-swapping, insured and fully electric rental service.
