Tesla Reclaims Top Spot In Monthly Imported Car Sales In South Korea
Seoul: US electric vehicle major Tesla reclaimed the top spot in South Korea's imported car market in July, driven by strong sales of its Model Y, industry data showed on Tuesday. According to the Korea Automobile Importers & Distributors Association (KAIDA), 27,090 imported passenger cars were newly registered last month, up 23.3 percent from 21,977 units the previous year, reports Yonhap news agency. KAIDA attributed the sales growth to improved supply conditions for certain brands compared with last year. Tesla topped the list with 7,357 units sold in July, reclaiming the No. 1 spot after losing it in June. The U.S. EV maker first topped the list in May. BMW followed with 6,490 units sold in July, while Mercedes-Benz ranked third with 4,472 units. Tesla's Model Y was the best selling model with 6,559 units sold, followed by the BMW 520 with 1,292 units and Tesla's Model 3 at 798. By fuel type, hybrids accounted for 49.7 percent of sales at 13,469 units, followed by EVs at 37.6 percent, gasoline models at 11.5 percent and diesel cars at 1.2 percent. Meanwhile, imported vehicle registrations in South Korea have surged 38-fold over the past three decades, driven by diversifying consumer tastes, an industry association said. Annual imported car registrations rose from just 6,921 units in 1995 to 263,288 last year, the Korea Automobile Importers and Distributors Association (KAIDA) said in a press release. "Imported brands will continue to offer diverse and differentiated options for Korean customers, as they have over the past 30 years," KAIDA Vice Chairman Jung Yoon-young said. In the first half of this year, imported car sales climbed 9.9 percent from a year earlier to 138,120 units, fueled by strong demand for German models and U.S. electric vehicle (EV) maker Tesla Inc. Three German automakers -- Volkswagen Group Korea, BMW Group Korea and Mercedes-Benz Korea -- sold a combined 84,211 vehicles in the January-June period, up 12 percent on-year. KAIDA's membership grew from eight companies in 1995 to 23 as of June this year, with vehicles now sold under 30 different brands. In March, Chinese EV maker BYD Co. joined the association as it seeks to expand its presence in Asia's fourth-largest economy. Imported brands made up 18.3 percent of South Korea's passenger vehicle market last year, up sharply from just 0.6 percent in 1995, the association said.

Leadership, talent strategy to drive Tech Mahindra's global ambition: CEO
The new leadership, along with the steps being undertaken to nurture internal talents, will make Tech Mahindra not just a world-leading entity but also a world-beating organisation, a top company official has said. Tech Mahindra has restructured its global operations following the exit of some of its employees after the succession of the CEO role to Mohit Joshi, who has been with the company since its founding and is one of the longest-serving chief executives in the IT industry, CP Gurnani. "Our talent is the engine driving Tech Mahindra's transformation. We are doing what it takes to make TechM not just a world-leading, but a world-beating organisation, whether that means creating new roles, nurturing internal talent, or bringing in bold new leadership," Joshi told PTI in an email interview. The company has appointed new leaders for several verticals and elevated internal senior employees between August 2023 and June 2025 to lead key divisions at the organisation in global roles. "We have restructured our global operations into six focused Strategic Business Units; each aligned with our delivery priorities and designed to accelerate our multi-year growth agenda. We have carefully calibrated leadership roles to blend experience, expertise, and future focus. This balance of continuity and fresh perspective gives us the edge to deliver on our FY'27 ambitions," Joshi said. For the financial year 2027, Tech Mahindra has set goals to achieve higher average growth than its peers and expects the current fiscal year to surpass FY'25. The company initiated the process of installing new leadership with the appointment of Atul Soneja as Chief Operating Officer in August 2023, from New Jersey-based CitiusTech. The company elevated Harshvendra Soin to President for Asia Pacific and Japan Business in January 2024, who had also served as Country Head for Canada and Head of Business HR for APAC and EMEA (Telecom and Enterprise) at Tech Mahindra. In the leadership reshuffle, the company has appointed nine new leaders and elevated seven leaders to global roles in the last two years, with the recent hiring being the appointment of Amol Phadke as Chief Transformation Officer of Tech Mahindra in June 2025. Joshi said the impact of new leadership was reflected in the June quarter, where EBIT margins improved for seven consecutive quarters and have now reached 11.1 per cent, compared to 10.5 per cent last year. Tech Mahindra reported a 34 per cent growth in consolidated profit to Rs 1,141 crore, while its revenue grew by 2.7 per cent to Rs 13,351 crore during the June 2025 quarter.

SC reserves verdict on Telanganas domicile rule for medical admissions
Agency: PTI Last Updated: New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Monday reserved its verdict on pleas including one of the Telangana government against an order that struck down its domicile rule for admissions in medical colleges in the state. The state government through the Telangana Medical and Dental Colleges Admission (Admission into MBBS & BDS Courses) Rules, 2017, amended in 2024, entitled only those students, who have studied for last four years up to Class 12 in the state, to admissions in the medical and dental colleges under the state quota. The Telangana High Court held that the state's permanent residents cannot be denied benefits of admissions in the medical colleges only because they lived outside the state for sometime. On Tuesday, a bench comprising Chief Justice B R Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran heard detailed arguments from both sides, including the Telangana government's counsel, senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi. Defending the state's four-year domicile criterion, Singhvi said once a domicile rule is established, 'a threshold becomes inevitable". He said Telangana relied on a government order backed by a presidential order and, moreover, only the state government, not courts, could define 'permanent residence". The CJI referred to the practical consequences of the rule, illustrating if 'a Telangana judge is transferred to Bihar and his son studies in classes 9, 10, 11 and 12 in Bihar then the boy is disentitled from getting admissions in his home state". 'Take a student born and raised in Telangana but moves away for just classes 10 and 11 and say, to Kota for coaching. Or an IAS officer from Telangana posted in Delhi, whose child studies outside the state for two years. Should such children be disqualified?" the CJI asked. Justice Chandran weighed in, 'If a person remains idle in Telangana for four years, they qualify. But someone who leaves to study doesn't. Isn't that an anomaly?" Singhvi said the high court created the term 'permanent resident," which only the state has the authority to define. The top court on September 20 last year stayed the high court order directing permanent residents or those domiciled in the state couldn't be denied the benefit of admission in the medical colleges only because they remained outside Telangana for sometime for their studies or residence. The state government, however, agreed to grant a one-time exception to 135 students, who had moved the high court, in admissions in the medical and dental colleges in 2024. The state's appeal argued that the high court erroneously held Rule 3(a) of the amended Telangana Medical and Dental Colleges Admission (Admission into MBBS & BDS Courses) Rules, 2017, to be interpreted to mean the respondents (candidates) were eligible to admission in the medical colleges in Telangana. The rule mandated four consecutive years of study in the state for students seeking admission in Telangana medical colleges before qualifying the exam. The state's plea argued such an order by the high court overlooked the fact that Telangana possesses the legislative competence to determine various requirements, including domicile, permanent resident status, etc. The high court's judgement, it said, mandates the state to prepare new rules for admission, which was a time-intensive process. 'After framing the rules students have to apply and collect the requisite certificates from authorities concerned. Each certificate submitted by the student needs to be verified by the Health University. Whereas the present rule prescribes that the students can produce their educational certificate without approaching any office or authority. If the judgement of the high court is implemented, it will result in a huge delay in the allotment of seats to MBBS and BDS students," the plea added.
