Tata Motors is all set to introduce its most premium electric SUV yet—the Harrier EV. The new EV will be launched on June 3. First seen at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 and later showcased in its production-ready form this March, the all-electric Harrier closely mirrors its ICE sibling in design, albeit with distinct EV styling elements.
Inside, the cabin retains a familiar layout but is enhanced with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, JBL audio system, and EV-specific features like summon mode, vehicle-to-load (V2L), and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging. Safety is addressed with seven airbags, 360-degree cameras, and Level-2 ADAS capabilities.
Powertrain details remain under wraps for now, but Tata has confirmed a dual-motor AWD setup targeting a 500 km range. The Harrier EV will serve as Tata's flagship electric offering, positioned at an estimated starting price of ₹ 25 lakh.
2 Mercedes-AMG G 63 Collector's Edition
Mercedes-Benz will be launching a special India-themed Collector's Edition of its iconic AMG G 63 SUV on June 12. While the powertrain is expected to remain unchanged—with the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 585 PS and 850 Nm—the Collector's Edition stands out with its exclusive orange exterior, custom alloy wheels, and bespoke badges.
Inside, expect exclusive upholstery, distinctive trim materials, and subtle visual tweaks that celebrate the Indian market. It's expected to command a premium over the standard G 63, which already retails at ₹ 3.3 crore.
3 MG Cyberster

MG Motor is preparing to bring its boldest EV to India yet—the Cyberster. Unveiled earlier this year at the Auto Expo, the electric roadster stands out with its coupe-like stance, dramatic scissor doors, and petal-shaped LED DRLs.
The interior is equally futuristic with a triple-screen cockpit, including two 7-inch displays and a 10.25-inch infotainment unit, plus a fighter jet-inspired dashboard. Features include electrically adjustable and heated seats with memory, a folding soft-top roof, and an eight-speaker Bose sound system.
Under the hood—or rather, floor—the Cyberster carries a 77 kWh battery powering two motors that deliver a combined 510 PS and 725 Nm. MG claims a range of up to 443 km per charge. It's likely to be offered with a battery leasing plan and could be priced around ₹ 50 lakh.
4 MG M9

Expanding its premium portfolio, MG is set to introduce the M9 MPV, based on the Maxus Mifa 9 sold overseas. With a Vellfire-like profile and sleek detailing such as connected tail lamps and 19-inch alloys, the M9 blends road presence with practicality.
Inside, it gets a luxurious dual-tone cabin with plush leatherette upholstery and either a 6- or 7-seater layout. Amenities include two sunroofs (one for each row), massaging ventilated seats in the first two rows, dual digital displays, and a tri-zone climate control system.
Expected to arrive via CKD kits, the India-spec M9 could house a 90 kWh battery and a 244 PS front-mounted motor, offering a WLTP-rated range north of 400 km. With a tech-rich interior and premium packaging, the M9 is poised to be priced from ₹ 70 lakh.
5 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 and GT 63 Pro
Mercedes is also reintroducing the GT badge in India with the all-new AMG GT 63 and its more aggressive GT 63 Pro sibling. Unlike the previous generation which was a two-seater, the new GT offers a 2+2 layout, expanding its appeal without diluting performance.
Inside, the cabin borrows cues from the AMG SL 55 with its digital displays and sports seats. Under the hood, both variants get a 4.0-litre V8, producing 577 PS in the standard GT 63 and a head-turning 612 PS in the Pro version. The Pro also boasts a blistering 0-200 km/h time of just 10.9 seconds and a top speed of 317 km/h.
Prices are likely to start at ₹ 3 crore, with the Pro variant carrying a substantial premium.

New washer standards in works by BIS for root and tuber vegetables to boost export hygiene
New Delhi: The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is set to introduce new standards for washers used to clean root and tuber vegetables, which have a diverse demand across the country as well as globally, two people directly involved in the process said. These machines are crucial for food processing units and major exporters handling produce such as carrots, radish, beetroot, cassava and potatoes, among others. The upcoming standards aim to modernize the way these crops that are pulled from underground and often carry a heavy load of soil and contaminants are cleaned before they reach domestic and international markets. This comes in the backdrop of India pushing to diversify its agricultural and horticultural exports. 'BIS will mandate the use of food-grade, non-corrosive materials such as stainless steel for all parts that come into contact with the vegetables," said the first among the two people mentioned above. Also read: Cooking oil packs may be changed to cut shifty traders to size Also, washing efficiency is key to effectively remove soil and debris while ensuring the vegetables suffer minimal bruising, cuts or cracks, this person said. The new BIS standard includes clear test methods to check how well the machines wash, how much they can handle and how safe they are. Only machines that meet these standards will get certified, giving buyers more confidence and helping Indian exporters meet global food safety rules and cut down rejection at ports. Developed economies, including the US, Germany and the Netherlands, already rely on washers made entirely from stainless steel or food-grade polymers, minimizing corrosion and microbial risks. In line with BIS standards 'The move will mandate all such manufacturers to produce the machines in line with BIS standards and obtain certification to ensure better quality. Currently, the ISI mark is not mandatory for these machines, as there were no standards governing their design or performance until now," said the second person. Fresh potato exports continued to play a significant role in India's agricultural trade in calendar year 2024. The country exported 513,537 tonnes of fresh potatoes, registering a slight decline of 0.6% in volume from the previous year. However, the value of these exports surged to a record $110 million in 2024 from $94.5 million in 2023, registering an increase of 16.4%. This rise in value reflects a higher average export price, which grew by 17.1% year-on-year to around $214 per tonne. The major export destinations for potatoes are he UAE, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh. Also read: India's exports face geopolitical woes but trade deals offer relief: RBI report Manufacturers have flagged concerns over a potential rise in prices. 'At present, machines used to wash such fruits and vegetables are available in the domestic market for around ₹3-4 lakh, while advanced models are priced at about ₹5 lakh," a senior executive of a manufacturing firm told Mint requesting anonymity. With the new standards set to come into effect, the prices of these machines may rise by 10% to 15%, this executive said. 'In this segment, most of the players are MSMEs. These standards may put economic pressure on these manufacturers, but they are essential for keeping the industry on par with global players," said Vinod Kumar Abhash Kumar, trade expert and assistant professor, economics, Delhi University. 'As India moves ahead with free trade agreements with major developed economies such as the UK, US, and EU, aligning our manufacturing practices with international benchmarks will only strengthen our export competitiveness," Kumar said. According to the IMARC Group, India's vegetable washer equipment market was valued at $292.82 million in 2023 and is projected to reach $1.1 billion by 2033. Growth is being driven by increased health awareness, stricter food safety regulations and greater adoption of automated and smart washing solutions by both large and mid-sized processors.

Better washing machines will create better export market opportunities for Indian fruits and vegetables. India's agricultural exports to the US were worth $2.53 billion in FY25, led by spices, cereal preparations, rice, fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy and poultry products.

UK trade minister to meet USTR Greer to discuss implementing tariff deal
LONDON, - Britain's trade minister Jonathan Reynolds will meet U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Tuesday to discuss the implementation of a trade deal that has been complicated by the announcement of fresh U.S. tariffs on steel. Reynolds will review recently agreed deals with counterparts from the U.S. and EU, Britain's two biggest trading partners, during a three-day trip to Paris and Brussels this week. The deals struck last month are both political pacts rather than formal trade agreements, and the details of their implementation have not been set out. Starmer and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to reduce tariffs on British imports of cars and steel to the United States, but its delayed implementation means tariffs may go up before they come down. Last week, Trump said that tariffs on imported steel would rise to 50% from 25% from Wednesday. Industry body UK Steel said it understood that British producers would likely be impacted by the change, which would be a "body blow" to the sector. A British government spokesperson said the UK was engaging with the United States on the implications of the announcement ahead of Reynolds' meeting with Greer to discuss implementation timelines of the bilateral agreement in Paris. "We recognise our relationship with G7 allies and EU counterparts must continue to evolve and deliver a better trading environment for our businesses and exporters," Reynolds said in a statement ahead of the trip. Reynolds will also meet Indian Minister of Commerce Piyush Goyal to discuss a recently negotiated Free Trade Agreement, which is still having its legal text finalised and is subject to ratification in both countries, which could take months. After meetings with G7 and OECD counterparts in Paris, Reynolds will hold talks with EU trade commissioner Maros Sefcovic. As part of efforts to reset ties without fundamentally reopening the Brexit deal, Britain and the EU have agreed to conclude talks to remove red tape on its food trade, but details of the plan have yet to be finalised. In advance of that agreement coming into force, Britain on Monday said it would scrap border checks on fruit and vegetables imported from the European Union, that had been due to be effective beginning in July.

Tesla not keen to manufacture in India: Minister HD Kumaraswamy
Electric Vehicle (EV) major Tesla is not interested in manufacturing in India but is looking at opening two stores, Union Heavy Industries Minister H D Kumaraswamy said on Monday. He, however, said that global EV makers like Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen-Škoda, Hyundai and Kia have shown interest in applying under the ministry's flagship Scheme to Promote Manufacturing of Electric Passenger Cars in India, notified in March last year. 'Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen-Škoda, Hyundai and Kia — all these companies have already shown interest. Tesla, we are actually not expecting from them. They (Tesla) are going to start two showrooms, they are not interested in manufacturing in India,' Kumaraswamy said at a media briefing. In February, US President Donald Trump had criticised Tesla's plan to expand in India, calling it 'unfair' to the US. 'Now, if (Tesla CEO Elon Musk) built the factory in India, that's okay, but that's unfair to us. It's very unfair,' he had said. Trump has since made similar objections to Apple's expansion plans in India. The heavy industries ministry also issued detailed guidelines on Monday under the EV manufacturing scheme, and will soon issue a notice inviting online applications. Under the scheme, approved applicants will be required to make a minimum investment of Rs 4,150 crore to produce EVs domestically, with defined domestic value addition (DVA) goals. In turn, they will be eligible to import a maximum of 8,000 completely built-in units (CBU) of electric four-wheelers per year, with a minimum import value of $35,000 at a reduced Customs duty of 15 per cent for a five-year period. The scheme is limited to global manufacturers with a revenue of at least Rs 10,000 crore per year, with fixed assets valued at a minimum of Rs 3,000 crore. 'The scheme is strategically crafted to position India as a global hub for electric vehicle manufacturing… By mandating domestic value addition targets, the scheme will further boost the 'Make in India' and 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' initiatives, while empowering both global and domestic companies to become active partners in India's green mobility revolution,' Kumaraswamy said. Earlier, many believed the scheme was envisaged to attract Tesla to manufacture in India, after it complained of high duties on car imports, which can go up to 110 per cent. Shortly after the scheme was announced in March 2024, in the run-up to the Lok Sabha polls, Musk was expected to visit India and make a pledge to pump over $2 billion into a car manufacturing facility in the country. However, the visit was postponed after Musk cited 'very heavy Tesla obligations'. But, a few days after cancelling his India trip, Musk visited China — the company's second-largest market. In February this year, days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Musk in Washington, Tesla announced 13 job openings in India, including store manager, service advisor, business operations analyst, and customer engagement manager. As Tesla mulls over its operational goals in India, the company is facing increased competition from Chinese EV makers, particularly BYD, as global EV sales growth has tapered. Meanwhile, according to think tank Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI), it could take years before the first batch of EVs manufactured under the Centre's scheme hit the market. 'While announcement of the scheme guidelines is a positive step, the application process has not opened yet and is expected soon. Realistically, it may take another six months or more before selected firms are announced, and the first locally made EVs under this scheme are still some time away; for now, approved firms can keep importing fully built cars at the reduced 15% duty,' GTRI said in a release.
