Ahead of the upcoming launch, the car manufacturer is currently in the process of strengthening its retail network across the country, as well as its after-sales service and EV charging network. Also, the auto company has announced that it will officially commence accepting pre-bookings for the VF6 and VF7 electric SUVs from July 15.
Interestingly, on the very same day, Tesla will launch its first retail outlet in India in Mumbai. Adding more zing to the Indian electric passenger vehicle market, on the very same day, Kia will launch its Carens Clavis EV, which is a fully electric version of the Kia Carens Clavis MPV.

The EV sources power from a 59.6 kWh battery pack that promises a range of up to 440 km on a full charge.
The VinFast VF7 will slot above the VF6 in the auto company's product lineup. The VF7 will come as a mid-size electric SUV. Powering this EV will be a larger 75.3 kWh battery pack, with an estimated range of over 450 km on a full charge. Upon launch, the VinFast VF7 electric SUV will lock horns with rivals such as the BYD Atto 3.

Landmark Cars stock jumps 6% as B&K Sec initiates coverage, 60% upside seen

Landmark Cars share price: Shares of premium automotive retailer Landmark Cars were in focus on Monday, July 14, 2025, rising as much as 6 per cent to hit an intraday high of ₹539.65 after domestic brokerage B&K Securities initiated coverage on the stock with a bullish outlook, driven by strong growth potential and improving profitability over the next two years. The brokerage initiated coverage on Landmark Cars with a 'Buy' rating and a target price of ₹820 per share, implying a 60 per cent upside from Friday's closing levels. At 3 PM, the stock was trading at ₹531, up 4.5 per cent from its previous day's close of ₹507.85. In comparison, the benchmark NSE Nifty50 was trading lower by 73.55 points or 0.3 per cent at 25,080.3 levels. According to analysts at B& Securities, while Landmark Cars' proforma and reported revenues grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11 per cent and 9 per cent, respectively, from FY23 to FY25, the company's Ebitda, PBT, and PAT declined by 3 per cent, 20 per cent, and 55 per cent, respectively. However, the company's sales growth of 11 per cent was double the Indian passenger vehicle sales CAGR of 5 per cent over FY23 to FY25. During FY25, the older outlets and workshops contributed ₹70 crore to PBT, and the newly opened ones incurred PBT-level losses of ₹40 crore. As these facilities ramp up, they are expected to break even starting Q1FY26, with most turning profitable by the end of FY26, the brokerage said. The company has also tied up with three new brands - Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), Kia and MG Motors - over the past two years. Landmark Cars is the first multi-brand, multi-location auto dealer operating in the premium and luxury car segment in India with 70 showrooms and 61 workshops as of FY25. "While the after-sales mix for old brands is 17 per cent for the new brands, it is 9 per cent. As the after-sales mix improves for these new brands and new outlets scale up, we expect the margin of the company to improve from 5.5 per cent to 7.5 per cent over FY25-27E," B&K Securities said. Analysts at B&K Securities believe that Landmark Cars remains a highly moated business with pan-India reach, high switching costs for OEMs, and market leadership with many OEMs, including Mercedes Benz, BYD, Jeep, Volkswagen, Honda and MG Motors. While the high capital requirements prevent smaller players from entering this segment, the intricate nature of the business is driving consolidation in the industry.

Arjun Erigaisi lashes out at British Airways for 'downgrade' service; Indian chess GM says ‘worse part is I've to fly…'

Indian chess grandmaster Arjun Erigaisi has blasted British Airways mercilessly, calling his experience with the airline 'worst' ever. The 21-year-old complained about zero communication from the British Airways authority while his bag being delayed for more than two days and also alleged rude behavior from the airline staff. Taking to X, Erigaisi expressed his displeasure. 'Worst experience flying with the British Airways. Involuntarily downgrade, rude employees, no communication, bags delayed for over 48 hours,' Erigaisi said in his post. 'This is frustrating. Messages, emails, forms everything done & submitted. It's been over 2 days and still no word. I don't know how an airline can afford to treat its customer in this way. Even worse part is I've to fly back with you,' added Erigaisi, ranked third in the world. However, British Airways is yet to respond on the issue. It is also unknown Erigaisi's travel and source destination. Erigaisi's post went viral in no time with several users complaining the same. Erigaisi was also suggested to take a Qatar Airways or an Emirates flight. "British Airways is one of the worst airlines in the world. If you ever travel to Europe, you should take Qatar Airways or Emirates. If you travel to Asia, you should pick Singapore Airlines or Cathay Pacific. If you go to US, you should take Qarar Airways, Singapore Airlines or United. If you go to Canada, you should take Singapore Airlines or Air Canada," am X user wrote. Erigaisi will compete in one of most important tournaments in September - FIDE Grand Swiss 2025 in Uzbekistan from September 3 to 16. He will be a top seed in the competition, which is a qualifier for the 2026 Candidates. Erigaisi will have the company of R Praggnanandhaa in the tournament which will also have global superstars like Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Alireza Firouzja, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Levon Aronian, and Anish Giri.
