Cars That Shaped Indian mobility Connecting Rod
UPDATED: Aug 14, 2025 19:40 IST
Just like motorcycles, cars too have played a pivotal role in shaping our country's mobility story. There was a time when owning a car was a luxury—people waited for months, only to receive machines that were poorly put together, lacked reliability, and offered almost no features. Then came the Maruti 800, the car that truly put India on the move. It was reliable, well-equipped for its time, and marked a turning point in Indian motoring. What followed was a wave of improvement—cars like the Hyundai Santro, Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, and Maruti Suzuki Omni collectively brought personal transport within reach of millions. In this episode, we explore that remarkable transition—from a time when cars were rare symbols of status to an era where they became everyday household staples.

Accidents with elderly at the wheel reignite push for age-based restrictions
Two road accidents in Hyderabad involving motorists in their 80s have renewed calls for stricter checks on elderly drivers, with road safety experts warning that declining reflexes and vision can turn them into a hazard on busy urban roads. On July 4, an 88-year-old man lost control of his sedan on the curve after the ISKCON temple, heading towards YMCA in Gopalapuram. He struck multiple vehicles before being stopped by bystanders, injuring a woman. Police booked him under Sections 279 and 337 of the BNS Act for rash and negligent driving. Earlier, an 84-year-old retired IPS officer, who served as inspector general of police before retiring in 2000, fatally ran over a class IX student on the Ramakrishnapuram flyover near Neredmet. The boy died on the spot, prompting criticism from activists over why he was still permitted to drive. Under the Motor Vehicles (MV) Act, there is no maximum age limit for driving. However, those over 50 must submit a medical fitness certificate for licence renewal, valid for five years. Road safety experts say this system fails to account for rapid changes in health among those in their 70s and 80s. 'Elderly people driving on roads have become hazardous for other road users as their vision and muscle strength are not enough to try on Indian roads and we do not have that infrastructure,' says. Vinod K. Kanumala, founder & chief functionary, Indian Federation of Road Safety. 'Many accidents are taking place but are ignored because of their age. At this age, old people are very rude if something happens on the road. I have personally experienced it. This has to be addressed at the earliest, as speed and traffic volume have increased. The maximum age limit should be 70 or 75, after which the licence must be cancelled,' he adds. A Road Transport Authority official, speaking anonymously, called overage driving a blind spot in enforcement. 'In cities like Hyderabad, we routinely encounter elderly drivers navigating chaotic traffic with limited reflexes and declining eyesight,' the official said. While countries such as the United Kingdom and Japan require older drivers to undergo regular cognitive and vision checks, in India, the responsibility is largely left to drivers and their families. 'We are not saying senior citizens should not drive,' says Praveen Kumar, a road safety expert from Hyderabad. 'But there must be stricter recurring checks for those above 75.' Police said the vehicles in both Hyderabad accidents were properly registered and the drivers held valid licences. With India's ageing population rising, experts say only a combination of tighter rules, regular testing and public awareness can prevent more tragedies.

M&M plans world tour on multi-energy SUV platform
Mumbai: Mahindra & Mahindra is plotting a calibrated push into key overseas markets, anchored by a new modular platform that will spawn its next generation of SUVs. The automaker will however continue to prioritise leadership in revenue market share over sheer volume gains, said a senior company executive. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency "Volume share gains are happening on their own, but our metric remains revenue market share," Rajesh Jejurikar, CEO and executive director, auto and farm sectors at M&M told ET. "Chasing volumes could lead us to the wrong strategic choices." The maker of Thar and XUV7OO SUVs leads India's SUV market in revenue share though it ranks second in volume. M&M clocked record sales of 152,100 SUVs in Q1 FY26. M&M is expecting the next phase of growth to be driven by the newly-developed NU IQ. It is the company's first-ever architecture capable of churning internal combustion and electric powertrains , along with front- and all-wheel drive options, and both left- and right-hand drive formats. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo On Friday, the company unveiled the Vision.S, Vision.T, and Vision.X SUV concepts based on the NU IQ. The platform is designed for high modularity and component commonality, enabling faster development, lower costs, and the agility to adjust product offerings in line with shifting consumer preferences and technology trends. "Once you create a platform, you can't reinvent it every time customer choices change. Modularity gives us the ability to respond quickly," said Jejurikar. M&M's INGLO platform will continue to underpin larger e-SUVs, while NU IQ will be used for compact and subcompact SUVs, with both coexisting in the portfolio. Live Events To support future growth, the company will expand annual capacity at its plant in Chakan, Pune, by 240,000 vehicles, taking total capacity there to 750,000-760,000 units. It is also scouting for a greenfield facility for longer-term expansion. The international rollout will follow a "saturation-first" playbook, entailing building build presence, dealer networks, and service capability in one market before moving to the next, said Jejurikar. South Africa served as the first proving ground, followed by Australia and New Zealand, he added. It is now preparing to enter the UK, as well as other right- and left-hand-drive markets, including select markets in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, to tap into premium SUV "white space" opportunities, said Jejurikar. The platform strategy is aimed at delivering aspirational SUVs to both local and overseas buyers, avoiding brand dilution from chasing entry-level markets. "We don't want to dilute our identity by entering segments that aren't core to us," said Jejurikar, adding that M&M's average selling price remains well above the industry average. By consolidating multiple powertrains on one platform, the automaker is aiming to future-proof its product range against uncertainty in adoption curves for EVs, hybrids and advanced ICE vehicles.
