Maruti Suzuki Ertiga to Renault Triber: Three most value-for-money MPVs in India under ₹15 lakh
The Indian car market has been witnessing a significant transition in consumer preference over the last couple of years. Gone are the days when consumers used to prefer hatchbacks, and the small cars used to be the driving force of the Indian passenger vehicle market. Over the last couple of years, utility vehicles, including SUVs and MPVs, have been finding an ever-increasing demand. This transition is in sync with the global market.

While SUVs have become the driving force of the Indian passenger vehicle market, MPVs too have been sustainably seeing high demand. This has propelled several carmakers to launch their respective products in this segment.
Here is a list of the three most popular MPVs that come priced under ₹ 15 lakh and offer the most value-for-money.
Maruti Suzuki Ertiga has been the bestselling MPV in the Indian passenger vehicle market for quite a long time. Sold through the car manufacturer's Arena retail network, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga comes priced from ₹ 9 lakh (ex-showroom). This spacious and practical three-row MPV is widely popular among private buyers as well as in the fleet segment. While the petrol engine with SHVS technology enhances its appeal, the availability of a petrol-CNG bi-fuel powertrain offers enhanced cost efficiency for the vehicle. The seven-seater MPV is one of the best-selling and most value-for-money offerings in the segment. Interestingly, under the Suzuki-Toyota global partnership, the Toyota Rumion is basically a rebadged iteration of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, which offers similar features.
The Renault Triber is one of the most affordable seven-seater cars in India. Available at a starting price of about ₹ 6 lakh, the Renault Triber is sold alongside its siblings, Kwid and Kiger. The Renault Triber is available with a 1.0-litre petrol engine, while the transmission choices include a manual gearbox as well as an AMT unit. Renault has recently introduced a CNG option to this MPV, which further enhances its practicality and value-for-money quotient. The Renault Triber comes with a four-star Global NCAP crash test rating, which is another feature in its kitty..

Sensex, Nifty outlook for June 23–27: Bullish breakout ahead?
The Indian stock market wrapped up a bullish week (June 16–20), with the Sensex closing at 82,408.17 and the Nifty 50 ending at 25,112.40 — both comfortably above key pivot levels. The rally was powered by strong FII inflows, easing RBI provisioning norms for infrastructure loans, declining bond yields, and a dip in volatility and gold prices. Market sentiment got a further boost as the Reserve Bank of India relaxed its earlier draft rule, now requiring just 1% provisioning for under-construction infra loans versus the proposed 5%. This move notably lifted banking and financial stocks. Additionally, easing tensions in the Middle East added to optimism. While geopolitical concerns remain, the US President's statement to delay military involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict hinted at potential diplomatic engagement. Market Performance Recap: Sensex rose 1.5% this week. Nifty 50 added 1.3%. FIIs invested ₹8,709 crore; DIIs added ₹12,635 crore. Global indices, however, underperformed, with the Dow down 1% and the Nasdaq flat. Key Drivers for Next Week (June 23–27): US Economic Data: Focus on GDP and PCE inflation. Geopolitical Developments: Monitoring Middle East tensions and the US-China 90-day truce deadline. Monsoon Progress in India FII/DII Activity and Crude Oil Prices Monthly Derivatives Expiry Volatility Technical Outlook: Resistance: 25,250. A breakout may lead to 25,600–25,800. Support: 24,850–24,800 zone. Breakdown below 24,600 may trigger further correction. Indicators: Nifty is trading above both 21-day and 55-day EMAs, signaling strong momentum. Investor Strategy: Experts advise a stock-specific approach. Look for strength in banking, auto, realty, and IT sectors. Avoid heavy exposure to FMCG, energy, and mid/small caps until clearer signals emerge. Traders are also urged to be cautious of false breakouts near 25,200, especially ahead of monthly expiry. Monitor both global developments and technical resistance levels closely.

Outdoor advertising gains traction, diversifies commercial real estate revenue streams
New Delhi [India], June 22 (ANI): As malls turn into entertainment hubs and office complexes include shops and cafes, real estate developers are finding new value in outdoor advertising. What was once just an extra branding element is now becoming an important part of the commercial real estate business strategy, say several industry executives. By definition, outdoor advertising or out-of-home (OOH) advertising is a form of marketing that reaches consumers when they are outside their homes. The real estate executives say that outdoor advertising has moved from the basic static hoardings to a high-revenue-generating, value-added business segment for commercial properties. Umang Jindal, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Homeland Group, says that advertising is rapidly becoming a core vertical as commercial assets have become a mixed-use place. 'As commercial assets become mixed-use destinations, advertising is no longer peripheral--it's fast becoming a core vertical that adds strategic value,' said Homeland Group CEO. 'Growing urbanisation and pedestrian flow have transformed buildings into potential media channels. Facades, rooftops, digital billboards, and transition points in commercial buildings are strategically used for brand exposure,' said Vijay Kamboj, Founder, Bric-X Infra. According to the data made available by MarkNtel, an Indian data intelligence firm, the Digital Out-of-Home Advertising Market size was valued at around USD 284 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 620 million by 2030, said the firm in its report. The executives say that advertising income normally represents 3 per cent to 8 per cent of the revenues of a commercial building, but it can reach more than 10 per cent on marquee frontage and digitally enabled display properties. 'It contributes about 7 per cent to 10 per cent to the total income of a commercial property. Outdoor advertising in premium Special Economic Zones or transit points can drive revenues as high as 12 per cent or even more,' said G Hari Babu, National President of NAREDCO. On the other hand, the executives representing electronic equipment say that they have seen traction in the Indian markets. 'Digital billboards, LED screens, interactive displays, and digital transit advertising are becoming more common in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and Chennai,' said Muneer Ahmad, Vice President (Audio/Visual Business) ViewSonic India. He added that demand for digital out-of-home advertising is rapidly rising in India as consumer preferences shift from traditional to digital platforms, noting that global real estate players are ramping up their investments more than their Indian counterparts. Indian players are increasingly looking for popular sites to maximise their presence in the crowded or popular places, giving more visibility to the brands. Observing the trends, Ashish Gupta, Director - Mandate Strategy, ANAROCK Group, says that revenue potential is a function of the location and the amount of traffic or footfall it sees. 'ANAROCK Creative Agency focuses on locations such as Bandra Kurla Complex (Mumbai), Cyber Hub (Gurugram), Connaught Place (Delhi), MG Road (Bengaluru), and HiTech City (Hyderabad) to drive the highest value for our developer clients' digital advertising spends,' the ANAROCK Group Director added. Sharing more insights on the specifics of the market, Bric-X Infra Founder added that in Delhi NCR and Gurugram, there is strong demand for non-traditional advertising media such as facades, terrace edges, lobby screens, and elevator wraps. He added that advertisers are keen to utilise these eyeball-catching, out-of-home locations to create experience-based brand interactions. 'Experiential activations and pop-ups in amenity spaces are also gaining momentum, allowing brands to reach captive audiences within commercial buildings beyond captive audiences in traditional billboard sites,' Kamboj added.

Air India flights avoid Persian Gulf airspace amidst Israel-Iran conflict
New Delhi [India], June 22 (ANI): Air India on Sunday said that all its flights are currently avoiding certain airspaces over the Persian Gulf, amidst escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. An Air India spokesperson, in a statement, said the adjustment in route may lead to extended flight durations for services to destinations including the UAE, Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait, besides some flights to/from Europe and North America. 'Amid escalating tensions in the Gulf region, Air India group confirms that our flights currently do not operate over the airspaces of Iran, Iraq and Israel,' the Air India spokesperson said. As a proactive measure, Air India said it will be progressively avoiding the use of certain airspace over the Persian Gulf in the coming days, opting instead for alternative paths for flights to destinations including the UAE, Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait. 'This adjustment may lead to extended flight durations for these services, as well as for select flights to/from Europe and North America. Air India is in continuous consultation with our external security advisors and is vigilantly monitoring the evolving situation, ready to implement additional measures, if required, to uphold the safety and integrity of our operations. We will keep our passengers informed of any updates. The safety and security of our passengers, staff, and aircraft remain our number one priority,' the Air India spokesperson added in the brief statement. The conflict between Israel and Iran entered tenth day on Saturday, with the US now joining in support of Israel. India continues its evacuation efforts for Indian nationals in Iran. Multiple flights have been operated to bring back citizens from the conflict-hit region, and some more are in the offing. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday spoke with the President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, expressing deep concern at the recent escalations and calling for 'immediate de-escalation, dialogue and diplomacy.' The two leaders spoke after America carried out 'massive precision' strikes on Iran. (ANI)
