Retail sales were flat at about 328,000 vehicles last month. At the country's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki, wholesale volumes were largely unchanged at 137,776 vehicles last month. Partho Banerjee, senior executive officer (marketing and sales) said while Maruti has seen an uptick in bookings ahead of the festive season, starting with Onam in Kerala, conversions are slow. 'Growth in rural markets which stood at about 10% last year, has now come down to 2-3%. In urban areas, with layoffs in the IT sector, buyers are cautious,' Banerjee said, adding, 'We have, however, seen an increase in bookings which is a positive sign.' 'With the advent of the festive season, as things stabilise, we expect the demand momentum to pick up,' said Banerjee. Maruti Suzuki has so far recorded a 10% increase in bookings in Kerala. Korean rival Hyundai Motor India too saw sales dip by 10% to 43,973 vehicles in July. Tarun Garg, chief operating officer, said, 'While the overall auto industry has seen some softness in recent months, we remain optimistic with the onset of the festive season and are fully geared up with robust supply and product offerings.'Meanwhile, Tata Motors saw passenger vehicle sales decline by 12% to 39,521 units last month.

While sales at Mahindra climbed 20% to 49,871 vehicles, JSW MG posted a 46% surge to 6,678 vehicles. Nalinikanth Gollagunta, CEO (automotive division) at M&M said, 'Our SUV growth has been supported by the recent launch of XUV 3XO 'REVX' Series & the commencement of deliveries for Pack two variants of the BE 6 and XUV 9E models.' In the commercial vehicle segment, market leader Tata Motors posted a 4% sales growth at 26,432 units in July. Chennai-based Ashok Leyland recorded a similar 4% rise to 13,501 units while VE Commercial Vehicles' sales of Eicher branded trucks and buses grew 6% to 6,410 units.

Royal Enfield reported a 25% growth at 76,254 units. In the farm equipment segment, market leader M&M sold 26,990 tractors last month, a 5% increase from a year earlier.'This performance was driven by sustained land preparation activities, supported by robust cash flows in rural markets following the conclusion of Rabi crop harvesting," said Veejay Nakra, president (farm equipment business) at M&M.

Supper clubs are having a moment, and it's not just about the food

It's a lazy Sunday evening, and you're craving a good meal. But instead of heading to your usual cafe, imagine walking into a stranger's home and sharing a meal with people you've never met. That's the new food scene — supper clubs are taking off across the country. Food enthusiasts are turning their homes into pop-up dining spaces, inviting guests in for a unique and close-knit culinary Sethi, who hosts supper clubs in Jaipur, tells India Today, "Supper clubs are intimate dining experiences often hosted in homes, where food and conversations take centre stage. Unlike restaurants, there is no rush or fixed menu. The focus is on storytelling, seasonal flavours, and meeting new people. They revive the joy of eating together and connecting over shared tables."Further, Prachi Gupta, co-founder, House of Mala, a supper club in Mumbai, adds, "Imagine being at a dinner party but with people you've never met, in a cosy home, and food that makes you pause and go 'wait, what is this?!' That's a supper club. It's not just dinner, it's a vibe. The charm lies in how personal and immersive it feels, very different from your usual dinner outing."The rise of supper clubs Let's be honest, plain old restaurant menus just don't cut it any more. People want food with a backstory, a twist, maybe even a secret recipe. And yes, social media has a lot to do with it. Everyone's chasing that one-of-a-kind experience they can post about. Plus, in a world full of dating apps and solo lunches, we're all secretly craving a real connection, and what brings people together better than food?Kaushalya Patil, chef and founder of AMPLE, a Pune-based supper club, shares, "This culinary format is definitely gaining popularity amongst diners who want to eat food that is chef-driven and freshly curated. A family-style communal table where diners are seated at the same table also adds to the charm, because everyone meets strangers but eventually ends up talking about food — and who has ever complained about that?" It's not just about the food at supper clubs | Photo: Toonika Guha The exclusivity is part of the charm. Saloni Gupta, co-founder, House of Mala, feels that people today want more than just a meal; they want a story, something they can be a part of, and supper clubs feel like being let in on a secret. That sense of 'not everyone gets to do this' makes it Sethi agrees that exclusivity is one of the strongest factors attracting people to supper clubs, as there is no structured menu. "It's crafted for that particular evening only. The experience is personal, seasonal, and unique," she Toonika Guha, founder of Toontooni's Table, a modern Bengali supper club in Gurugram, it's the in-person connection that's driving this craze. She shares, "I think the covid-19 era has something to do with it since we spent a couple of years isolated and cooped up at home. Now that the world is back to normal, people want to make the most of human connections."She adds that in India, most supper clubs are in cities like Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, places that have a high number of young people who have migrated to study or to work. These people have left behind their homes and families for better prospects in these big cities. So, supper clubs have become a great way for them to meet new people.A silent revolution in the dining sceneadvertisementThere's a quiet shift happening in the food scene. While flashy restaurants still draw crowds, supper clubs are stealing hearts, one intimate gathering at a Patil mentions that supper clubs are a great addition to the dining-out scene. "Intimate supper clubs are a wildly different experience from restaurants and bars. People in cities want to eat good food and have a good experience," she adds, "The perfect meal has always been more about the experience than just the taste of the food on the plate. You'll always remember the service and the people. Communal dining has been a tradition in so many different cultures. Each gathering brings with it an exchange of ideas and a peek into different customs and cultures." Supper clubs are reshaping how we eat | Photo: House of Mala Meanwhile, Prachi Gupta says that supper clubs are rewriting the rules. "While we may have a set menu for a few months, no two evenings ever feel the same. It's not just about food; it's about storytelling, the people who gather, the energy around the table. Each night brings a new mix of conversations, connections, and surprises. That's the magic restaurants often miss."advertisementStrangers at first, a community by dessertFor Seema Sethi, the concept of supper clubs is about rediscovering the human side of dining, as people walk in curiously, drawn by the promise of new flavours and faces, and leave with more than a shared tables and open conversations, strangers find connection, belonging, and a sense of community that lingers long after the night ends."In an age where connections often feel digital and fleeting, supper clubs offer something rare, the warmth of community built around a table," she her experience, Kaushalya Patil narrates, "When we host a group of six at home, we're having an interactive dinner where everyone starts off slightly awkwardly, not going beyond what they do and how much traffic they encountered to get here, but by course two, there's a lukewarm debate about where one can find the best mutton thali in the city! Food really is always the common denominator."Toonika Guha also states that community is central to the experience. Unlike a restaurant, where you come with your own group, eat your meal and leave, at a supper club, you're seated beside strangers and are encouraged to engage. View this post on Instagram A post shared by S U P P E R C L U B | Chef Kaush (@amplebykaush)advertisementA startup?If you put your business mind to it, a supper club can totally work as a startup, especially now, when people are craving experiences that go beyond just eating low on overhead (no fancy restaurant space needed), high on uniqueness, and perfect for the kind of social media buzz that sells itself. And there's room to scale. It can be started locally and eventually build a network of hosts across cities."Supper clubs can be a wonderful second revenue stream because they do more than generate income. They build your personal brand and community," shares Seema gathering becomes a story you can share through content and social media, organically marketing what you do. It allows you to host on your own terms. More importantly, it creates a circle of guests who return not just for food, but for the connection, opening doors to future opportunities like workshops, collaborations, and even culinary travel Patil, who runs AMPLE supper clubs full-time, mentions that a lot of work goes into curating the menus and making sure the experience is more than what people expect."Having been in the industry for eight years, I can safely say that it's like running any other food business," she concernPrachi Gupta feels that safety concern is a valid point, but they are mindful of who joins the table, and they do set boundaries, keeping things safe. But the trust people bring with them is what makes a supper club Toonika Guha has had safety concerns cross her mind. But since she has hosted very small groups at home, so far she has had good for Kaushalya Patil, safety is not a concern. "We always try to get in touch with the diners before the dinner on a call to understand what kind of food they like and why they chose to book a seat at our supper club dinner table. This gives us a better idea of the group at the table," she it for you?Supper clubs are perfect for anyone who loves discovering new food stories and meeting people in warm, welcoming you enjoy meals that are cooked with heart, don't mind a fluid menu, and value meaningful experiences over fancy setups, this kind of dining can be incredibly rewarding. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Seema (@foodexperienceswithseema)Just know, it's not your typical night out. But if that excites you, it might just be your new favourite way to eat."Just book a seat! We've had so many diners come in and tell us that they're introverts, but end up having such a great time at the dinners. We've had multiple guests book a seat for one just so they can meet new people over great food," says not just a meal, it's a whole new way to experience food and connect with like-minded people.- EndsTrending Reel

ED raids against Bengaluru group in homebuyers ‘fraud' case

Bengaluru: The Enforcement Directorate on Friday conducted searches against a Bengaluru-based real estate company and its promoters who are accused of duping home buyers worth crores of rupees in the name of selling them flats in their residential project, official sources said. At least ten premises of Ozone Urbana Developers Pvt. Ltd. and its key management personnel were raided in Bangalore and Mumbai under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the sources said. The main promoter of the group is Satyamoorthi Vasudevan. The company and its promoters were booked by the ED after taking cognisance of multiple police FIRs registered against them related to a residential project named Ozone Urbana in Devanahalli Taluk of Bengaluru. The integrated township project was to be handed over to buyers in 2018. However, till 2024, only 49 per cent of the project was completed, the sources said. The company 'failed' to hand over the project and has neither returned the money to the buyers, they claimed. It is alleged that the accused company and its key management personnel 'cheated' gullible home buyers by promising to pay their bank EMIs (taken for purchase of homes) until completion of the project. The company also promised many buyers 'huge' discounts, if they pay full amount in advance against the bookings and it also allegedly lured them with a 'buyback scheme'. It is alleged that the directors of the said company cheated its buyers collectively to the tune of hundreds of crores and misappropriated the funds, the ED sources said.
