This Monsoon Season Drive Worry Free with SBI General's Motor Insurance
As the monsoon season brings much-needed relief through refreshing showers, it also presents a range of challenges for vehicle owners. Waterlogged streets, unexpected flooding, slippery roads and reduced visibility significantly increase driving risks. SBI General Insurance recognises the unique concerns associated with this season and urges vehicle owners to proactively secure the right motor insurance coverage. A comprehensive motor insurance policy not only protects your vehicle from potential damage but also gives you the confidence to navigate rain-soaked roads with peace of mind.

To keep you safe and worry-free on the road this monsoon, SBI General Insurance offers the following recommendations to ensure your vehicle stays well-protected.
Comprehensive Coverage for Water Damage to engine
Ensure that your motor insurance includes comprehensive coverage that takes care of water-related damage like flooding, waterlogging, or engine trouble when vehicle is parked. These issues often arise during the monsoon when rain can affect your vehicle's electrical and vital parts. Timely preparation can significantly help prevent major challenges in the future. We recommend avoiding driving in waterlogged areas to prevent any damage to engine.
If you own an electric vehicle (EV), consider purchasing an 'add-on' or 'rider' feature for battery coverage, as most insurance policies do not include battery coverage. These features can extend the policys coverage for an additional cost.
Regular Vehicle Maintenance
Monsoon can prove harsh on your vehicle, but a little extra care during this season can ensure seamless travel. Regular checks on your brakes, tyres, wipers, and exhaust system can help you stay safe on slick roads. Continue to check water availability for wiper cleaning so as visibility does not get impacted. A well-maintained vehicle isn't just safer; it can also help you avoid insurance claims for problems that could have been prevented.
Precautions for Hazardous Conditions
Even the best insurance can't replace being cautious. Avoid venturing into flooded streets to avoid serious harm to your vehicle. Before every drive, ensure your lights, brakes, and tyres are in top shape. Remember, your safety and the safety of others matter most, insurance or not.
Mr. Udayan Joshi, Chief Operating Officer, SBI General Insurance, added, 'Monsoons can be tough on vehicles, but with the right coverage and some thoughtful precautions, it's possible to stay protected and enjoy the monsoon without worries. We urge all vehicle owners to review their insurance and make sure it's ready to handle monsoon-specific risks like water damage.'

Car maker Lotus says it has no plans to close English factory
LONDON, June 28 (Reuters) - British-based sportscar company Lotus said it has no plans to close a factory in eastern England, following a report in the Financial Times which said manufacturing there could end with the loss of 1,300 jobs. "Lotus Cars is continuing normal operations, and there are no plans to close the factory," Lotus said in an emailed statement on Saturday. "We are actively exploring strategic options to enhance efficiency and ensure global competitiveness in the evolving market." Lotus is owned by China's Geely ( and Malaysia's Etika Automotive and the brand produces cars in Britain and China. Any closure of the factory in Hethel, Norfolk, would have been a blow for Britain's auto industry which is suffering as a result of tariffs imposed by the United States. Britain's vehicle production dropped 32.8% from a year ago industry data showed on Friday. The Financial Times said the government had intervened to signal it would offer Lotus support after news emerged that the factory could shut, but the Department for Business and Trade did not confirm that. "The government does not comment on speculation or the commercial affairs of private companies," a spokesperson for the department said on Saturday. While Britain has negotiated a trade deal with the U.S. which will reduce the tariffs for a quota of exported vehicles, it does not come into force until the end of June. Meanwhile, car makers have reported lower output and exports to both the U.S. and the European Union, according to economic data.

Jim Cramer on NVIDIA Stock: 'I Don't See It Tripling From Here'
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the 11 stocks Jim Cramer put under the microscope recently. The company was mentioned during the episode, and here's what Mad Money's host had to say: 'If the semis became like the oils in 1980, then tech would… account for about 60% of the S&P 500. I think that's unrealistic… I just think we gotta curb our enthusiasm a little bit, and everyone knows I love the sector. It's hard to accept that a stock like NVIDIA, currently the largest company in the world, could double or even triple if Reitzes' (Ben Reitzes, Managing Director and Head of Technology Research at Melius Research) bullish forecast comes to life. A close-up of a colorful high-end graphics card being plugged in to a gaming computer. NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) develops advanced computing, graphics, and networking technologies. The company provides a wide range of products and software that support data centers, AI, robotics, gaming, virtual computing, and automotive systems, including cloud services and digital twin applications tailored for enterprise AI use.
