In line with growing demand for cost-effective and environmentally-friendly mobility solutions, Citroen India has launched the CNG variant of the C3 hatchback. Unlike factory-fitted kits, the CNG setup will be retrofitted at authorized Citroen dealerships across the country. These kits have been tested and approved by the company to deliver a fuel efficiency of up to 28.1 km/kg.
The CNG option will be available for select trims of the C3 — specifically, the Live, Feel, Feel(O), and Shine variants. All these models are powered by a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. The CNG upgrade is priced at ₹93,000, and while online bookings are not available, interested buyers can approach their local Citroen dealers to get the retrofit done.

Citroen has ensured that the addition of the CNG kit does not compromise the core performance or comfort that the C3 is known for. A dedicated switch allows drivers to easily toggle between petrol and CNG modes, offering added flexibility. Although the installation of the CNG tank results in a reduction of boot space, Citroen has engineered solutions to maintain the hatchback's drivability. The vehicle comes equipped with specially-tuned rear shock absorbers, reinforced suspension springs, and an anti-roll bar to manage the added weight of the CNG system.

Importantly, the CNG installation does not obstruct access to the spare wheel, highlighting Citroen's attention to detail in balancing practicality with performance. With this move, Citroen aims to tap into the growing market of fuel-conscious buyers while strengthening its foothold in the competitive hatchback segment.

Pernod Ricard India pours AI into growth mix
New Delhi: With India emerging as Pernod Ricard 's second-largest market globally by value and the largest by volume, the French liquor major is placing bold bets on technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI) to drive growth, sharpen premiumization, and strengthen operational efficiency, a company's official said. 'AI is helping us move from mass marketing to high-touch, curated experiences that build stronger consumer connections,' said Simon de Beauregard , chief transformation officer at Pernod Ricard India , in an interview with ETRetail. He added that the company has built fully in-house AI capabilities to retain end-to-end control and competitive advantage. Over the last four years, the company has implemented multiple digital platforms under its Key Digital Programs (KDPs), including Maestria, which maps consumption occasions to portfolio strategy; Matrix, which links marketing spends to ROI; and D-Star, which offers outlet-level retail intelligence. Personalization, Premiumization and Predictive Tech Beauregard emphasized that tech innovation is central to Pernod Ricard India's premiumization strategy . "Tools like Maestria draw insights from 18,000 consumer interviews to match SKUs with premium consumption moments," Beauregard said. "In India, we used D-Star to adjust bottle formats according to local preferences, leading to a conversion rate to 46%, compared to the usual 10-20%. This shows how AI helps us personalize our offerings to meet the specific expectations of each market," he shared. The company is also leveraging generative AI (GenAI) to scale personalization in campaigns, he added. From supply chain planning to demand forecasting, the company is deploying AI tools to improve market responsiveness in India's complex regulatory landscape. "In a market as diverse as India, precision in forecasting is critical,' Beauregard noted. 'Data helps us fine-tune everything from portfolio strategy to store-level execution." While Pernod Ricard India's January–March (Q3 FY25) performance was softer, reporting only 1% YoY sales growth in the quarter, it was attributed to what the company termed as 'phasing technicalities' including new customs clearance procedures impacting imported spirits and a temporary production interruption in Telangana, both of which have since been resolved. Its year-to-date (April–March 2025) sales were up 5%. In its last earnings report released in April, the company said it expect a strong recovery in Q4 with catch-up sales, supported by continued demand and premiumization trends. Strong performance in brands like Jameson, Ballantine's, and Royal Stag underlined consumer appetite, particularly in the premium segment.

Anil Ambani creates history as his company becomes first in India to..., plans to invest Rs 50000000000, the company is...
Anil Ambani (File) In another major success for businessman Anil Ambani, his company, Reliance Infrastructure, has scripted history in India's defense sector, by becoming the first private firm to independently carry out a complete upgrade programme of a military aircraft without an original manufacturer (OEM). According to details, Anil Ambani-led Reliance Infra has successfully upgraded 55 Dornier-228 aircraft under a contract signed with state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), in which US-based Genesys Aerosystems was also a technical partner. The initial contract was for 37 aircraft, but Reliance Infra secured another order for 18 more Dornier-228 upgrades after successfully completing the first order. The entire project will cost an estimated Rs 350 crore. Reliance Infra eyeing upgrade contracts worth Rs 5000 crore Meanwhile, the Anil Ambani-led company is now eyeing upgrade opportunities worth Rs 5,000 crore in the defense sector over the next 7 to 10 years. As per experts, Indian armed forces have thousands of aging military aircraft and helicopters with a service life of about 30-40 years, but these platforms require regular and timely upgrades, including upgradation of avionics, mission systems and safety equipment, to keep them relevant in the evolving modern warfare scene. Upgrade and maintenance can cost up to 200-300% of the platform's original cost over its lifecycle, and the global market for upgrading older military platforms with latest hardware is pegged at around Rs 5 lakh crore, which is expected to hit Rs 7 lakh crore in the next few years. Anil Ambani's 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' plan Notably, Anil Ambani's Reliance Infra is partnering with global defense firms as it plans to scale up its upgrade services for military aircraft and other platforms, a move which aligns with the Narendra Modi government's ambitious 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative, that aims to make India self-reliant in manufacturing, including defense. Reliance Infrastructure is also working closely with French defense manufacturer, Thales, as part of the Performance-Based Logistics (PBL) programme of Rafale fighter jets in India, Additionally, Reliance Defence, a subsidiary of Reliance Infrastructure, has partnered with German arms maker Rheinmetall AG to manufacture propellants and explosives in Maharashtra's Ratnagiri district. The two partners will set up a factory as part of the proposed 1,000-acre Dhirubhai Ambani Defence City. Earlier, Reliance Defence signed similar deals with French Dassault Aviation and Thales, in addition to inking a deal with German arms maker Rheinmetall AG to manufacture artillery shells and ammunition in India. In a recent statement, Anil Ambani revealed that his goal was to make Reliance Defence among India top three defence exporters.
