Mahindra to pursue engineering actions to address rare earth magnet shortage issue: Group CFO
Mahindra & Mahindra plans to manage rare earth magnet supplies through alternative sourcing channels for the next nine months and will pursue 'engineering efforts' to address the raw material shortage situation amid growing product portfolio, according to a senior company executive. The imposition of export restrictions by China on key rare earth magnets has resulted in supply chain bottlenecks, impacting the user industries, including the auto and electronics sectors.

We have to now work on some medium and long term actions," Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) Group Chief Financial Officer Amarjyoti Barua told PTI in an interaction. The company has taken steps to build inventory through alternative sources to take care of the problem, he stated. Live Events "It has panned out well for us so far and we do not foresee any major risk for the next nine months," Barua said. "But considering the growth plans we have, we have to think about a much bigger play than what the tactical plays we have done, and that is going to require a lot more engineering effort," he added. The company's engineers are working on various solutions to work out a solution, Barua said. Last week, Maruti Suzuki stated that its engineers are working to mitigate the rare earth magnet shortage issue, noting that there has been no impact on its production so far. Hyundai Motor India has also stated that it is not facing any production issues due to the shortage of rare earth magnets. In June, rating agency Icra had stated that inventories of rare-earth magnets used in critical automotive components, particularly electric vehicle (EV) traction motors and power steering systems, could run dry by mid-July this year. Crisil, another rating agency, had also flagged it as a significant risk to automotive supply chains. The magnets in question, neodymium-iron-boron, are known for their strength and efficiency, used for high-performance automotive applications such as traction motors in electric vehicles and power steering in both electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles.

Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms: Majority of new iPhones sold in the US are 'made' in India; while Vietnam is the location for ...
Apple CEO Tim Cook said that most iPhones sold in the US during last quarter i.e. Q2 were made in India, despite President Donald Trump's repeated criticism of Apple's manufacturing shift. Speaking after Apple's quarterly results on July 31, Cook said India has now become the main hub for iPhone production for the US market, while China is focusing more on non-US regions. 'In terms of the country of origin, it's the same as I referenced last quarter. There hasn't been a change to that, which is the vast majority of the iPhone sold in the US or the majority, I should say, have a country of origin of India,' Tim Cook told analysts. For other Apple products like MacBooks, iPads, and Apple Watches, Vietnam has become the primary manufacturing base for US demand. 'The products for other international countries, the vast majority of them are coming from China,' the Apple CEO stated Trump's objection to iPhone manufacturing in India Donald Trump has been vocal in his opposition to Apple making iPhones in India for American consumers. During his visit to Doha in May this year, Trump said, 'I had a little problem with Tim Cook… I said to him, my friend, I am treating you very good… but now I hear you are building all over India. I don't want you building in India.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo Last week, he announced a 25% tariff on imports from India. While smartphones, computers and other electronics devices are exempted from the reciprocal tariffs for now, experts say this may not remain same in the future. Apple sees record revenue iPhone growth in India Tim Cook's comments underline Apple's strong focus on India, not just as a production base but also as a growing market. He said that Apple is seeing record revenue growth in India, especially from iPhone sales. 'We saw iPhone growth in every geographic segment and double-digit growth in emerging markets including India, the Middle East, South Asia, and Brazil,' Cook said. Globally, Apple reported a 10% increase in quarterly revenues, reaching $94 billion. Cook said India was among more than two dozen countries where Apple achieved record revenues in the June quarter. During the analyst call, Tim Cook revealed Apple's plans to expand its retail footprint in India by opening more physical stores. Apple CEO Tim Cook on tariff impact Commenting on the global impact of US tariffs, Tim Cook said the situation is still evolving. 'For the June quarter, we incurred approximately $800 million of tariff-related costs. For the September quarter, assuming the current global tariff rates, policies, and applications do not change for the balance of the quarter, and no new tariffs are added, we estimate the impact to add about $1.1 billion to our costs,' Cook explained. He added that these estimates could change depending on future tariff policies.

Who is Jeanine Pirro? Trump loyalist and ex-Fox News host confirmed as top US attorney; wins Senate approval
The US Senate on Saturday confirmed Jeanine Pirro, a well-known Fox News personality and President Donald Trump loyalist, to a high-profile federal prosecutor role in Washington, DC. With a vote count of 50-45, Pirro secured confirmation as the US Attorney for the District of Columbia. Trump encouraged the Republican-controlled Senate to process his nominations during weekend sessions, following his return to the White House six months prior. Trump provisionally appointed Pirro to the role in May, continuing his pattern of selecting hosts from the conservative television network and steadfast supporters for influential governmental positions. Trump previously praised the outspoken 74-year-old former Westchester County district attorney when he nominated her, as being "in a class by herself." Who is Jeanine Pirro? Jeanine Pirro is a former judge, prosecutor, and prominent conservative television personality, best known for her outspoken commentary on Fox News. Before rising to national media fame, Pirro built a lengthy legal career in New York. She served as the district attorney of Westchester County from 1994 to 2005, becoming the first woman to hold that position. During her tenure, she established the nation's first domestic violence prosecution unit, according to the US Justice Department. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Earlier in her career, she also served as a county judge. Pirro transitioned to television in the 2000s, hosting shows like Judge Jeanine Pirro (2008–2011) and Justice with Judge Jeanine on Fox News, which ran for over a decade. She later became a co-host on Fox's popular roundtable show The Five. Her on-air segments often included inflammatory rhetoric and conspiracy theories—particularly surrounding the 2020 election—which at times led to temporary removals from the network lineup. She joins a growing list of cable news figures with political roles, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, both of whom had careers at Fox. Pirro is also a published author. Her 2018 book, Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy, was described by The Washington Post as overly loyal to Donald Trump. Her personal life has not been without controversy. Her ex-husband, Albert Pirro, was convicted of tax evasion during her time as district attorney and later received a pardon from Trump during his presidency. Earlier, the Senate Judiciary Committee's leading Democrat, Dick Durbin, opposed Pirro's permanent appointment as US Attorney, describing her selection as a "rubber stamp for Donald Trump." Durbin referenced her role in spreading conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, which Trump lost to Biden, AP reported. Pirro was sued by Dominion Voting Systems after she promoted false claims of election fraud on Fox News. The company accused Fox of airing defamatory statements about its role in the vote count. Fox later settled the lawsuit for around $800 million.
