It is fast, does not cough poison, and costs little to keep going. It is the electric car, autophiles, and there is one or more for every pocket and every road. Elon Musk, the futuristic billionaire spearheading the electric car revolution, would be bemused to learn that the Tata-owned automobile giant Jaguar is launching I-Pace, the company’s first electric car in India at double the price of a Tesla.
In 2020, four long-range EV models were launched in the country, with the Tata Nexon and the MG ZS EV marking the lower end of the price spectrum, the Hyundai Kona and the Mercedes-Benz EQC the middle and high-end, respectively. Currently, there are eight EVs available in India; the I-Pace that costs between Rs 1.05-1.12 crore, Mercedes-Benz EQC for Rs 1.04 crore, and the Hyundai Kona Electric priced between Rs 23.75-23.94 lakh.

In December, private security and facility management firm Tenon Group s founder Manjit Rajain was speaking to Microsoft s global head of security. Rajain figured out during the conversation that the biggest concern of large corporations was tracking health of employees outside office premises. He said while he can secure people inside the complex, what happens when they go out? The employers are worried about how their employees are interacting outside office, says Rajain, who is now trying to devise a solution that can track people outside office - only for health reasons.

First vehicle I had a fetish for bikes and the first one which I owned was Royal Enfield, which I bought in 1985. It was a steel grey colour bike and I got it for Rs 100 from the Army canteen. The original cost for the bike was Rs 17,000. It was the only model which was there in the market. My first model was with a 350 CC engine and the silencer of that bike was the main attraction for me.
