Rolls-Royce is synonymous with refined luxury. This British multinational aerospace and defence company is known for its world-class aero‑engines, marine propulsion systems, and power-generation technology. It is not often that you will see someone deciding to buy a Rolls-Royce one day and bringing the car back home the next day. The price range of this luxurious vehicle starts from approximately Rs 7 crore. But do you know who owns the most expensive Rolls-Royce in India? Well, he is none other than the son of Samprada Singh — the owner of Alkem Pharmaceutical Company, one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the world.
According to a report by India.com, Samprada Singh's eldest son, Naval Kishore Singh, owns the most luxurious Rolls-Royce in India. He recently purchased a swanky Rolls-Royce Cullinan at a price of Rs 12 crores. The vehicle is a part of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II, which was launched last year. The ex-showroom price of the Black Badge Rolls‑Royce Cullinan Series II is approximately Rs 12.25 crore.
One of the special features of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan is that it has a 6.75‑liter twin‑turbo V12 engine. It also pumps out an impressive 900 Nm of torque.
Coming to Samprada Singh, his firm, Alkem Pharmaceutical Company, is running in over 20 countries including Asia, Africa and Europe. Samprada Singh, a resident of Okri village in Jehanabad district, Bihar, established Alkem Laboratories in Mumbai in 1973. He was joined by his brother in the venture. Later, the family shifted to Mumbai.
Samprada Singh was born in 1925 and earned a B.Com degree from Patna University. A few years later, in 1953, he opened a small chemist shop at the PMCH area in Patna and then founded Magadh Pharma to distribute medicines across Bihar. Samprada Singh co-founded Alkem Laboratories with his brother in Mumbai in 1973.
Samprada Singh passed away on July 27, 2019. He was 94. The industrialist breathed his last at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai. He was reportedly suffering from an illness.

Kanpur leather industry hit by US tariff hike, Rs 2,000 crore exports stalled
Kanpur's leather industry, a major export hub, is staring at a severe crisis after the United States sharply increased import duties on Indian leather goods to 60%—double the rate imposed on China and far higher than Pakistan (19%) and Bangladesh (20%). Exporters fear the move could wipe out nearly all of Kanpur's annual Rs 2,000 crore leather exports to the SAY BUYERS BACKING OUTJafar Iqbal, a Kanpur-based exporter and factory owner, said shipments have been halted as American buyers withdraw from contracts. 'In May, when tariffs were 10%, we agreed to bear half the cost to retain orders. Now, with the new rates, neither side can afford it. Five of our containers are ready, but we don't know what to do,' he told India Today BLOW FOR THE INDUSTRYNaiyar Jamal, another exporter, said the sector was already struggling under environmental regulations such as Namami Gange before being hit by the tariff hike. Despite mounting losses, he expressed support for the government's stance against US trade TO 10 LAKH JOBS Leather trader Javed Iqbal warned the tariff hike could devastate Kanpur and neighbouring Unnao, where the industry employs nearly 10 lakh people. Lower tariffs for Pakistan, China, Vietnam, and Cambodia are expected to draw away American buyers. 'We stand with the government, even if it means bearing heavy losses in the national interest,' he HALTED DESPITE FESTIVE ORDERSPrerna Verma, a leather accessories exporter, said confusion over the new policy has brought production to a near standstill. Demand in recent years has already fallen to 60% of previous levels, forcing some units to lay off Iraqi, Chairman of the Council for Leather Exports (Central Region), said that although Christmas orders have arrived, production for the US market has been halted. He met Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal in Delhi two to three days ago, where the government discussed possible relief measures—such as interest subsidies—in the case of a 25% tariff. However, with the import duty now set at 50%, such measures are unlikely to suffice. 'Buyers and sellers can manage an extra 5–10% cost but such a steep hike is beyond anyone's capacity," he said.- EndsTune InMust Watch

Vacant for 15 years, 1k affordable flats to be repaired & allotted
Gurgaon: A plan to demolish 1,088 EWS flats in Sector 47 has been shelved, paving the way for long-delayed allotments. The renovation work of these flats will be carried out by Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP), and flats will be allotted to eligible families. Built at Rs 42 crore in 2010 under the Ashiana scheme for the poor, the flats remained unoccupied for 15 years and were never allotted due to a mix of procedural delays and disputes over beneficiary eligibility. Earlier, HSVP officials stated that identifying qualified applicants proved difficult, as many lacked complete documentation or did not meet income and residence criteria. Over the years, verification exercises stalled repeatedly, and the absence of a final allottee list left the units vacant.

Confirming the development, HSVP administrator Dr Chander Shekher Khare told TOI that Rs 8 crore have been sanctioned for the renovation of EWS flats. The allotment will be done once the renovation work is complete. According to HSVP officials, the original proposal was to demolish the Sector 47 flats, auction the prime land for high-end group housing, and shift EWS allottees to a five-acre multi-storey complex in Sector 9. Officials, however, justified the move by citing the high market value of the Sector 47 plot – located next to the district centre, with a metro station planned nearby, and adjacent to a large IKEA mixed-use commercial project. The then estate officer had said, "This land, about 18 to 20 acres, is very valuable. The land will be auctioned for group housing, and EWS allottees will be accommodated in the Sector 9 project." Jain's complaint, alleging that the demolition plan undermined the original purpose of the Ashiana scheme, was taken up by the Prime Minister's Office. The PMO sought responses from HSVP officials, and within weeks, the proposal to raze the flats was shelved. On Aug 5, HSVP sanctioned Rs 8.8 crore for special repairs, to be completed within 150 days. Once restored, the flats will be allotted to beneficiaries as originally intended under the scheme.
