India's Transport Revolution: EVs, Micromobility, and Hyperloop Dreams Take the Wheel

India's transportation sector is undergoing a major shift, with innovative technologies and disruptive business models reshaping how people and goods move across the country. The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is on the rise, supported by government incentives and a growing local manufacturing ecosystem. Micromobility solutions like shared scooters and bikes are playing a crucial role in decongesting urban areas. The potential of hyperloop technology for intercity connections is being explored, although feasibility studies and environmental assessments are necessary. The transportation experience is also being redefined through ride-hailing apps, logistics automation, and AI-powered efficiencies. However, challenges remain in integrating new technologies with existing infrastructure, addressing affordability concerns, and building a skilled workforce. A collaborative effort involving government policies, private investments, research, and public awareness is needed to create an efficient and sustainable transportation system for India's future.

Final norms on non-fund credit a boost to infra companies

These changes aim to boost infrastructure financing and integrate more companies into the bond market.

RBI diktat to banks, credit card companies set to upend long-term integrations

The Reserve Bank of India's recent directive to banks and card schemes like Visa and Mastercard to avoid exclusive arrangements could pose a challenge to the long-standing partnerships between these institutions. Banks have relied on integrated partnerships with these card schemes to make their credit card operations profitable and appealing to customers. However, with the option for customers to choose other card schemes like RuPay, these partnerships may face disruption. Banks will need to educate customers on the differences between card schemes, and the regulatory push to make RuPay a significant player may further reduce reliance on international giants like Visa and Mastercard. Implementing this directive will be challenging for banks already grappling with regulatory changes and aiming to maintain a level playing field. In a rapidly growing Indian credit card market, these changes will affect lenders' financial plans and cobranded card partnerships.
