Mercedes-Benz India banks on top-end models for growth amid market volatility
New Delhi: Mercedes-Benz India said on Tuesday that its top-end model portfolio continues to drive sales growth despite a volatile business environment and subdued demand in the domestic luxury car market . The company's Managing Director and CEO, Santosh Iyer, said the overall luxury car market in India is projected to grow by around 4–5 per cent year-on-year, with industry demand remaining largely flat compared to last year. 'Considering all the geopolitical developments happening around us, the growth may not be there as much as what we have seen in previous years, but it is still there,' Iyer told PTI. For Mercedes-Benz, the top-end and core model segments are witnessing steady growth, while the entry-level segment has seen a decline. 'With eight launches in 2025, our top-end luxury vehicle strategy has been very successful, garnering immense customer response and elevating the desirability of Mercedes-Benz in the market,' Iyer said. He noted that while the company is not experiencing the double-digit growth seen in previous years, flattish to single-digit growth remains achievable. Strong macroeconomic indicators, such as robust GDP growth projections and record GST collections, are expected to support the segment in the coming quarters, despite market volatility. The German luxury carmaker also expanded its performance lineup on Tuesday with the launch of the AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupe, priced at ₹1.35 crore (ex-showroom).

Apollo Healthtech, a part of Apollo Hospitals, may get listed by early 2027. This move aims to unlock value for shareholders. Promoters will remain the same. Apollo Hospitals reported a strong Q1 with a 42% profit increase. Revenue also grew by 15%. The company plans to add over 4,300 beds in the next few years. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Mumbai: Apollo Healthtech , the demerged omni-channel pharmacy and digital health business of Apollo Hospitals , is likely to be listed by January-March 2027, a top company official said if there are plans of a family reorganisation, Apollo Hospitals group chief financial officer Krishnan Akhileswaran told ET, "No, there isn't. It's just a value unlock for shareholders. The promoters of Apollo will also be the promoters of the new company, and they will also be directors in the new company. So, there is no change from that standpoint."Apollo Hospitals, India's largest pan-India hospital chain by revenue, announced its first quarter results post market hours on Tuesday. It posted a 42% on-year rise in first quarter consolidated net profit to ₹433 crore, driven by double-digit growth in all business for the quarter grew 15% on-year to ₹5,842 crore, driven by higher patient volumes and growth in diagnostic footprint.

We expect the listing to happen around January-March of 2027. Some of the NCLT-related approval should come much before that," Akhileswaran Hospitals Enterprise chairman Prathap C Reddy said, "The demerger of our digital health and pharmacy business, approved in the last quarter, is now in the implementation phase. This strategic move will enable focused capital allocation and sharper growth plans with dedicated management teams for both hospital operations and omnichannel healthcare ecosystem."The hospital chain aims to add 4,370 beds through acquisition, brownfield and greenfield expansion over the next 3-4 years, with the first phase of 2,000 beds is already in progress.

Four firms to build India's first satellite constellation
A private consortium will build India's first indigenous commercial Earth Observation (EO) satellite network, a fillip for the domestic private space sector that is expected to slash the country's reliance on foreign players. Over the next five years, the consortium will invest more than ₹ 1,200 crore to launch the EO satellite constellation. (Getty Images via AFP/Representational photo) On Tuesday, the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe), under the department of space, announced that Bengaluru space technology company PixxelSpace India, along with Piersight Space, Satsure Analytics India, and Dhruva Space will design, build, and operate 12 state-of-the-art EO satellites under a public-private partnership (EO-PPP) model. Over the next five years, the consortium will invest more than ₹1,200 crore to launch the EO satellite constellation, which will fit a raft of use-cases, from monitoring the climate crisis, aiding disaster management, to planning agriculture, infrastructure, marine surveillance, national security, and urban planning. In-SPACe, an interface between ISRO and non-governmental entities, said the EO constellation will be deployed in phases over the next four years to ensure continuous service upgrades and expanded coverage. 'Once operational, it will be among the most advanced EO systems in the world, designed, built, and operated entirely in India by Indian talent,' IN-SPACe said in a media statement. The development of indigenous EO satellites that will generate high-resolution, indigenous satellite data reduce India's reliance on foreign sources and ensure data sovereignty. IN-SPACe chairperson Pawan Goenka said, 'It demonstrates the capability and confidence of Indian companies to lead large-scale, technologically advanced, and commercially viable space missions that serve both national and global markets.' The Centre's target is to boost India's space economy from $8.4 billion in 2022 to $44 billion by 2033. Under the PPP framework, the Indian government will provide strategic, technical, and policy support, while the PixxelSpace India-led consortium will own and operate the EO system, including satellite manufacturing, launches from Indian soil, ground infrastructure, and commercialisation of data services, read the media statement. With advanced remote sensing techniques and a radar system (Synthetic Aperture Radar or SAR) that can map high-resolution images of the Earth's surface, the satellite network will deliver data that is analysed for precision agriculture, water quality monitoring, land-use mapping, environmental compliance, disaster assessment, and infrastructure development. IN-SPACe shortlisted three consortiums — Astra Microwave Products from Hyderabad (with Bharat Electronics Limited, Sisir Radar and Spectragaze Systems) GalaxEye Space from Bengaluru (with CoreEL) and PixxelSpace India from Bengaluru (with Piersight Space, Satsure Analytics India, and Dhruva Space). Pixxel CEO Awais Ahmed said, 'This win is a testament to India's vision for a vibrant space economy. From here, we aim to deliver insights from space that improve life on Earth for generations to come.' Piersight co-founder and CEO Gaurav Seth said SAR makes the constellation operational throughout the day, all-year-round in all weather conditions. 'Our role is to deliver radar-first, analysis-ready products with low latency, so agencies and enterprises get alerts and evidence, not just raw data,' he said.
