VinFast Showcases Premium Electric SUVs VF 6 and VF 7 in Pune for the First Time
Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer VinFast is bringing its premium electric SUV models — VF 6 and VF 7 — to Pune for the first time, as part of a nationwide showcase across 11 Indian cities. The vehicles will be on display at Phoenix Mall, Viman Nagar, on July 5 and 6, offering Punekars a firsthand look at the company's cutting-edge EV technology and futuristic design.
The showcase follows successful exhibitions in Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Thiruvananthapuram, and Vijayawada, and is part of VinFast's broader strategy to expand its presence in India, one of the world's fastest-growing EV markets.
VinFast's VF 6 and VF 7 models made their India debut at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo earlier this year. Both SUVs are equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), panoramic sunroofs, large touchscreens, and the brand's signature V-shaped LED light strip.
The VF 7 is designed with the 'Asymmetric Aerospace' aesthetic, while the VF 6 follows a 'Dualities in Nature' design philosophy — reflecting the brand's emphasis on modern styling and sustainable innovation. Targeted at tech-savvy and environmentally conscious buyers, the models aim to set new standards in the premium EV segment.
Speaking on the Pune showcase, Pham Sanh Chau, CEO of VinFast Asia, said, 'Showcasing at high-footfall locations like Phoenix Mall is an opportunity to connect directly with Indian consumers and demonstrate our commitment to sustainable mobility.'
VinFast, a subsidiary of Vietnam's Vingroup, is also building a manufacturing plant in Tamil Nadu and forming strategic partnerships to strengthen its EV ecosystem in India. The ongoing mall showcase is part of that outreach, with upcoming stops in Delhi, Ahmedabad, Gurugram, Kochi, Lucknow, and more.

Jefferies initiates buy on Siemens Energy stock, sees 17% upside on strong earnings and margin outlook
By News Desk Published on July 8, 2025, 08:47 IST Jefferies has initiated coverage on Siemens Energy with a Buy rating and a target price of ₹3,500, implying a potential upside of nearly 17% from the current market price of ₹3,001.10. The brokerage expects robust earnings growth and margin expansion over the next three years, supported by operating leverage and sector tailwinds. Jefferies projects a 50% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in earnings per share (EPS) and a 30% revenue CAGR over FY24–27, driven by a strong order pipeline and capacity expansions in the transmission and distribution (T&D) segment. Operating leverage is expected to drive a 460 basis points improvement in margins by FY27, making Siemens Energy one of the most profitable players in the Indian energy equipment space. The target price is based on a 65x price-to-earnings (PE) multiple on March 2027 earnings—representing a 5% discount to Hitachi, reflecting relative valuation comfort. Jefferies sees Siemens Energy as well-positioned to capitalise on India's growing investments in grid infrastructure and green energy.

Jefferies maintains buy on Zydus Lifesciences, sees 15.5% upside on resilient FY26 growth outlook
By News Desk Published on July 8, 2025, 08:50 IST Jefferies has reaffirmed its Buy rating on Zydus Lifesciences with a target price of ₹1,150, implying a potential upside of 15.5% from the current market price of ₹996.00. The brokerage expressed confidence in the company's FY26 performance, supported by a strong growth outlook across both U.S. and ex-U.S. markets. Management has reiterated guidance for double-digit revenue growth and operating margins above 26% in FY26. Jefferies noted that despite a high base in FY25, the company expects its U.S. business to continue expanding in the current fiscal year. Additionally, markets outside the U.S. are also projected to deliver double-digit growth, helping to diversify earnings and reduce dependency on a single geography. Importantly, the brokerage believes that the decline in Revlimid sales—a headwind for many Indian pharmaceutical exporters—will have a comparatively lower impact on Zydus than on its peers, positioning the company more favourably in the near-to-medium term.

Wall Street falls as Trump pressures trading partners with new tariffs
Stocks fell on Wall Street as the Trump administration stepped up pressure on trading partners to make deals before punishing tariffs imposed by the U.S. take effect. The S&P 500 lost 0.8% Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gave back 0.9%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.9%. Tesla tumbled as the feud between CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump reignited over the weekend. Musk, once a top donor and ally of Trump, said he would form a third political party in protest over the Republican spending bill that passed last week. The selling accelerated after the Trump administration released letters informing Japan and South Korea that their goods will be taxed at 25% starting on Aug. 1, citing persistent trade imbalances with the two crucial U.S. allies in Asia. 'If for any reason you decide to raise your Tariffs, then, whatever the number you choose to raise them by, will be added onto the 25% that we charge,' Trump wrote in the letters to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung. Trump told reporters over the weekend that his administration would send letters to several foreign governments as early as Monday spelling out their tariff rates if they don't reach a deal before Wednesday — the culmination of a 90-day negotiating period set by the White House during which goods from most countries have been taxed at a baseline 10%. He also said on Sunday that he would impose an additional 10% in tariffs against the BRICS bloc of developing nations, which had condemned tariffs increases at its summit in Brazil. In addition to Brazil, the BRICS countries also include Russia, India, China and South Africa. With the 90-day pause in U.S. tariffs against a long list of nations set to expire, the threat of more severe tariffs hangs over the global economy once again. 'Just bringing back that meaty topic back into focus, after a strong week last week, has given a little bit of a pause in the market,' said Bill Northey, senior investment director at U.S. Bank Asset Management. The near-term outlook will likely hinge on several key factors like the extent to which trading partners are included in Trump letters, the rate of tariffs, and the effective date of such tariffs, according to analysts at Nomura. Last week, the Trump administration announced that it reached a deal with Vietnam that would allow U.S. goods to enter the country duty-free, while Vietnamese exports to the U.S. would face a 20% levy. That was a decline from the 46% tax on Vietnamese imports he proposed in April. 'The type of deal struck with Vietnam may be a blueprint for similar countries in the region with economies heavily reliant on large trade deficits with the U.S.,' said Jason Pride, chief of investment strategy and research at Glenmede. All of the sectors in the S&P 500 index were in the red, with technology, financial and consumer-related stocks among the biggest weights on the market. Apple fell 2.2%, JPMorgan Chase dropped 2% and Home Depot slid 1.7%. Molina Healthcare fell 3.5% after the insurer lowered its profit guidance due to rapidly accelerating costs. UnitedHealth Group also recently reported a spike in costs that forced it to cut its forecast, sending its stock tumbling in April. In deal news, software company CoreWeave agreed to acquire cryptocurrency mining company Core Scientific in an all-stock transaction valued at about $9 billion. Shares in Core Scientific sank 18.1%, while CoreWeave fell 4.8%. Bond yields mostly rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.39% from 4.34% late Thursday. The downbeat start to the week follows a strong run for stocks, which pushed further into record heights last week after a better-than-expected U.S. jobs report. Stock indexes in Europe were mostly higher. Asian markets closed mostly lower. Oil prices fluctuated after OPEC+ agreed on Saturday to raise production in August by 548,000 barrels per day. U.S. benchmark crude was up 0.6%, while Brent crude, the international standard, was up 1.2%. This week will be relatively light on economic data. On Wednesday the Federal Reserve will release minutes from its policymaking committee's meeting last month. The Fed's chair, Jerome Powell, has been insisting that the central bank wants to wait and see how Trump's tariffs affect the economy and inflation before making its next move on interest rates. While lower rates give a boost to the economy by making it easier to borrow money, they can also give inflation more fuel. That could be dangerous if the Trump' administration's tariffs send inflation higher. Veiga writes for the Associated Press.
