Toyota Glanza Prestige Edition launched, now gets 6 airbags as standard
Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has rolled out updates to its premium hatchback, the Glanza, with a renewed focus on safety and added features. In a key development, the Glanza will now offer six airbags as standard across all variants. This marks a notable shift toward improved occupant protection, aligning with growing customer expectations and evolving safety norms in the Indian automotive market.
The decision to make six airbags standard is aimed at enhancing safety for both drivers and passengers, a move that puts the Glanza in line with several models in higher segments that have already adopted comprehensive airbag coverage. With this update, Toyota further solidifies its stance on prioritizing safety across its product range.

Alongside the safety upgrade, Toyota has also introduced a new limited-period accessory bundle dubbed the 'Prestige Package." The package, available until July 31, includes a range of cosmetic additions designed to enhance the vehicle's styling and in-cabin experience. Items in the package include chrome-trimmed body side mouldings, premium door visors, rear lamp and lower grille garnishes, illuminated door sills, and a rear skid plate. These accessories are dealer-fitted and offered as an optional enhancement.
The Glanza, based on the Maruti Suzuki Baleno platform, has seen steady traction in the Indian market, with over two lakh units sold since its debut. It continues to appeal to a wide demographic—especially urban commuters and first-time car buyers—thanks to its fuel efficiency, compact dimensions, and a feature-rich cabin.

Toyota continues to offer an extensive feature list, including a 9-inch touchscreen, Head-Up Display, 360-degree camera, connected car features through Toyota i-Connect, and other comfort-oriented touches like rear AC vents and automatic climate control.
With the addition of standard six airbags and the optional Prestige Package, the Glanza becomes a more rounded offering in the premium hatchback segment. The updated Glanza starts at ₹ 6.90 lakh (ex-showroom), and continues to be backed by Toyota's standard 3-year/100,000 km warranty, which is extendable up to 5 years/220,000 km.

Largecap auto components stock hits record high, zooms 53% from April low
Bosch Limited share price today Shares of Bosch Limited hit a record high of ₹39,598.30; gaining 4 per cent on the BSE in Tuesday's intra-day trade on healthy business outlook. The stock price of the largecap auto components & equipments company surpassed its previous high of ₹ 39,052 touched on October 9, 2024. It bounced back 53 per cent from its 52-week low of ₹ 25,938.20, which it had recorded on April 7, 2025. Bosch shares turn ex-date for dividend of ₹512 per share The board of directors of Bosch at their meeting held on May 27, 2025 recommended a final dividend of ₹512 per equity share of ₹10 each, subject to approval of shareholders. The company fixed July 29, 2025 as record date for determining entitlement of the shareholders to final dividend. Strong March 2025 quarter (Q4FY25) performance Bosch's Q4FY25 operational numbers have been ahead of estimates primarily due to strong revenue growth. However, despite this, Profit after tax (PAT) at ₹ 550 crore was below analyst's estimate of ₹ 580 crore due to a higher tax rate. Revenue jumped 16 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to ₹ 4,910 crore, primarily driven by 14.9 per cent YoY growth in the mobility business. Margins remained stable YoY at 13.2 per cent. Annual report - Bosch Limited The Government of India's forward-looking policies, including the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, Design Linked Incentives (DLI), and the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), alongside a strong focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI), are truly encouraging and underpin our strategic investments in these key areas, the management said in its FY25 annual report. Domestically, the growing affordability of the Indian middle class continues to drive demand for sophisticated automotive products and solutions. This demographic dividend, coupled with increasing disposable incomes, presents significant growth opportunities across all automotive segments. The future of mobility is increasingly software defined; transitioning from primarily mechanical systems with embedded software to intelligent connected systems that offer enhanced safety, efficiency, and user experience. The management said the company is strategically positioned to capitalize on this transformative trend with innovative, reliable, and cost-effective solutions. According to media sources, the Indian government has approved a new mandate requiring all new two-wheelers - scooters, motorcycles, and bikes - to be equipped with anti-lock braking systems (ABS), regardless of engine capacity, starting January 1, 2026. This regulation extends the current requirement, which applies only to models >= 125cc, to the entire two-wheeler segment. The move aims to significantly reduce road accidents and fatalities, particularly head injuries, as two-wheelers account for a significant portion of both accidents and deaths on Indian roads. According to analysts at ICICI Securities, this will provide new opportunities for the ancillary space with annual opportunity size pegged at ~₹3,000-6,000 crore with major beneficiaries being Bosch and Endurance Technologies among others. Meanwhile, the auto demand outlook continues to be subdued across key segments in the near term. Further, while Bosch continues to work towards the localization of new technologies, given the long gestation projects, its margin is likely to remain under pressure with no visibility of any material improvement, at least in the near term, Motilal Oswal Financial Services said in the Q4 result update. About the Bosch Group The Bosch Group is a leading supplier of software, technology & services in the areas of mobility solutions, industrial technology, consumer goods, and energy & building technology. The Group boasts its largest development center outside of Germany in India, which offers comprehensive engineering and technology solutions. Operating through an extensive portfolio of 15 companies, Bosch India synergizes top-notch German engineering with the entrepreneurial spirit of India.
