Mercedes-AMG G63 India-inspired Collectors' edition to launch on June 12
The AMG 63 Collectors' edition is likely to get special exterior and interior trims.
advertisementWhile the firm has not revealed any details yet, we expect the model to get customised upholstery options in the cabin paired with special exterior trims, which might be themed after Indian culture. The SUV will not get any changes on the mechanical front as we expect it to be powered by the same 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 engine with 48V mild-hybrid tech found in the standard G 63. This mill churns out 585bhp and 850Nm, while the mild-hybrid system gives an additional boost of 22bhp. Paired to this engine is a 9-speed DCT automatic gearbox with paddle shifters and the 4Matic system that delivers power to all four wheels.

Indian exhibitions industry revenue to double in 3 years, says IEIA chief
The Indian exhibitions industry is on the brink of unprecedented growth, with revenues projected to double within three years said Sooraj Dhawan, President, Indian Exhibition Industry Association (IEIA). 'To seize this opportunity, our supply chain must scale with speed and innovation,' he said while speaking at India Expo Shop 2025 organised by the Indian Exhibitions, Conferences & Events Services Association (IESA). He said the global MICE industry, valued at $870 billion, is projected to reach $1.5 trillion by 2030, and with India holding less than 5% of this market, the growth potential is immense. 'But this growth must be anchored in five essentials: adopting technology to work ten times faster without losing human creativity, building sustainable and innovative infrastructure, developing venues beyond metros, upskilling our workforce to global efficiency levels, and embracing sustainability as a non-negotiable,' Mr. Dhawan said. On this front, Ashish Jain, Founder, Indian Pollution Control Association (IPCA) said, 'Sustainability at exhibitions is not just about today, it's about the world we pass on to the next generation. By integrating waste management, carbon reduction, and sustainable materials into our event practices, we can create a lasting environmental legacy.' 'Skilling should be close to everyone's heart, not just a select few. While IESA and IEIA have been doing commendable work in this space, the future lies in setting industry-wide standards, formulating robust policies, ensuring occupational health and safety, adopting sustainable materials, and upholding strong work ethics,' said Sonia Prashar, Managing Director & Chairperson of the Board, NürnbergMesse India. 'To truly transform, we must create Centers of Excellence across regions, starting small but building steadily. Now that our businesses are on a profitable path, we have both the responsibility and opportunity to give back, perhaps by channelling CSR funds to these initiatives,' she said. According to Punit Jhaveri, Director, LUCKY-TECH Membranes Pvt. Ltd. with over 60% of organizers now focusing on eco-friendly infrastructure, the lightweight, reusable fabrics, combined with leak-proof welding and automated cutting technologies are making events both impactful and sustainable. Jatinder Kapur, President, IESA, said, 'India Expo Shop 2025 demonstrates the scale and ambition of India's MICE sector, a market poised to cross $100 billion by 2030. With over 35,000 corporate events taking place each year, this year's edition is especially significant as it brings the industry together at a time of unprecedented growth and opportunity.'

Masterstroke by Mukesh Ambani as THIS Reliance product goes global, now available in..., name is...
Mukesh Ambani (File) In another major business move by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, Reliance Consumer Products Limited (RCPL) the FMCG arm of Reliance Retail, has partnered with Ceylon Cold Stores to launch its Campa brand of beverages in Sri Lanka. According to details, the Campa brand's portfolio in the island nation will include Campa Cola, Lemon and Orange as well as energy drinks such as Campa NRG Gold Boost and Berry Kick. What is the Reliance-Ceylon Cold Stores partnership? The collaboration is part of a cross-promotional deal between Reliance Consumer Products and Ceylon Cold Stores under which the Mukesh Ambani-led company launched Elephant House beverages in the Indian market in February last year. 'We are excited to enter the Sri Lankan market with our valued partner Elephant House Beverages. Campa is an Indian brand founded over 50 years ago and continues to enjoy love from consumer even today. We are committed to long-term investments and see immense potential for rapid growth in the region,' said Ketan Modi, Executive Director, RCPL. Modi noted that Reliance has a strong track record of providing the best quality products to customers at affordable prices, and the practice continues with rapid expansion of the Campa brand of beverages. Why John Keells Holdings partnered with Mukesh Ambani's RCPL? Meanwhile, Daminda Gamlath, President, John Keells Consumer Foods Sector– which owns Ceylon Cold Stores– said the partnership with Mukesh Ambani-led RCPL is aimed at providing high-quality, diverse beverage options to consumers in Sri Lanka, and will help expand the Sri Lankan conglomerate's beverage portfolio, and also strengthen its position as a key local player in the country's competitive beverage market. Ceylon Cold Stores, the manufacturer of Elephant House beverages, is a John Keells Consumer Foods Sector, the FMCG division Sri Lankan conglomerate John Keells Holdings (JKH). Mukesh Ambani's Reliance acquired Campa Cola in 2022 for Rs 22 crore, barely weeks after the oil-to-telecom conglomerate forayed into the FMCG sector. In 2023, Reliance's FMCG unit announced the relaunch of Campa Cola, along with two other flavors. Reliance aims to revive the 50-year-old homegrown brand and take on industry leaders PepsiCo and Coca-Cola to capture India's soft-drink market.

At ministerial roundtable, India, Singapore agree to expand cooperation in key areas
NEW DELHI: India and Singapore on Wednesday reviewed bilateral cooperation in key areas such as connectivity, digitalisation, healthcare and skilling and identified new initiatives for collaboration. The 3rd India Singapore Ministerial Roundtable (ISMR) was held in New Delhi on Wednesday. (@DrSJaishankar X) These matters were discussed at the third meeting of the India-Singapore Ministerial Roundtable (ISMR), a special mechanism created in 2022 to advance cooperation in crucial sectors such as technology, investments and advanced manufacturing. The two sides reviewed the progress on cooperation under the six pillars of ISMR - advanced manufacturing, connectivity, digitalisation, healthcare and medicine, skills development and sustainability. The two sides also 'deliberated on ways to further deepen bilateral cooperation, particularly under these six pillars, and identified a number of specific initiatives to pursue,' the external affairs ministry said in a readout. The Indian delegation included finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman, external affairs minister S Jaishankar, commerce minister Piyush Goyal, and electronics and information technology minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. The Singapore team included deputy prime minister Gan Kim Yong, coordinating minister for national security K Shanmugam, foreign minister Vivian Balakrishnan, digital development minister Josephine Teo, manpower minister Tan See Leng and acting transport minister Jeffrey Siow. The ministers from Singapore also met President Droupadi Murmu. People familiar with the matter said about 10 agreements covering topics under the six pillars of the ISMR were finalised during the meeting. These agreements are expected to be unveiled during a meeting between the prime ministers of the two countries next month. Deputy prime minister Gan, who is also Singapore's trade minister, visited Mumbai on Tuesday to take stock of investments by Singapore companies – PSA's Bharat Mumbai Container Terminal (PSA Mumbai) Phase 2 and CapitaLand Investment's (CLI) new data centre in Navi Mumbai. These investments underscore Singapore's confidence in India's long-term economic trajectory, officials said. Gan and Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis toured the port facilities and received a briefing from PSA on how the development of Phase 2 will enhance India's trade and maritime connectivity. Gan also witnessed the signing of an MoU between Mapletree Investments and the Maharashtra government to commit foreign direct investments equivalent to ₹3,000 crores in Maharashtra through the development of industrial parks, logistics parks and data centres. Gan inaugurated CLI's new data centre in Navi Mumbai, for which the firm is investing $453 million. The external affairs ministry said India views Singapore as an important partner in 'Act East' policy. Ties between the two sides were elevated to a comprehensive strategic partnership in September 2024.
