Dehradun. Rain, mist, broken roads — a real proving ground.
Experienced the Renault Duster around its media drive, & the contrast is clear:
Dhurandhar 1(Old Duster): raw, mechanical, built for bad roads
Dhurandhar 2(New Duster): more polished, tech-led, market-ready.#Duster #SUV

@TorqueIndia Dehradun Duster 😍

Will India’s EV sales cross 1M annually by 2030?
And how will ICE, CNG, hybrids & EVs coexist?
India’s shift won’t be a switch — it’s a **multi-powertrain relay. Maruti isn’t just plugging in…
it’s recalibrating its entire powertrain playbook for the next decade##eVitara #Maruti

But this isn’t a greenfield entry. The EV market shows a competitive arena with established leaders already building scale.

CY2025 is off to a fast start.

Mahindra, Toyota & Kia have already beaten their CY2024 sales — and it’s only early December. GST rationalisation has added extra tailwind.
Looking at the numbers…
some OEMs didn’t just stay in their lane, they lapped last year. 😄

Plenty of “fuel” being added to the #CAFE fire — but the real win is keeping India’s decarbonisation journey on track. Balanced norms that support innovation and mass-market access will matter far more in the long run than who throws the sharpest statement today

[Torque India @TorqueIndia]

Maruti Senior Executive Director defends the 909 kg relief in CAFE norms.

Competition says 95% of cars below 900kg belongs to a single brand.

Three big moves.
Three bold signals.
All of them — pure disruption.
