Uno Minda Limited plans to invest ₹1,415 crore in four manufacturing projects across Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Maharashtra.

TVS Motor Company aims to expand its annual two-wheeler capacity to 83 lakh units and reported a record revenue of ₹17,103 crore, alongside significant growth in electric vehicle sales.
