‘New' Toyota Hilux spied again as reported 2026 debuts gets closer
Based on the latest and previous images, the Hilux won't be an all-new model, but reportedly the most extensive update handed to the current generation. 'Next generation' Toyota Hilux has been spied, once again, ahead of its reported world debut in 2026. Image: Toyota With little having emerged since the uncovering of first spy images back in January, the incoming 'next generation' Toyota Hilux has made its second appearance ahead of its supposed unveiling in 2026. Not entire new Spotted undergoing testing in Thailand where principle production takes place, the series of images, posted on social media on Wednesday (25 June), shows the still heavily disguised Hilux sporting what appears to be new headlights and a restyled grille, as well as a new front bumper. ALSO READ: This is it: 'New' Toyota Hilux emerges in first spy images At the rear, new vertical taillights clusters, seemingly identical to those of the Volkswagen Amarok, feature, along with what appears to be a new bumper with an integrated step. Same same Set to adopt the Hilux Travo name in Thailand based on the discovery of a trademark submission at the beginning of the year, the latest images by the Kurdistan_Automotive_Blog on Instagram, doesn't provide any technical details of what is believed to be another facelift of the current AN110 Hilux than a completely new model. Sporting the same silhouette as the AN110 that debuted a decade ago, the apparent most extensive refresh in its prolonged lifecycle is unlikely to result in any new powertrains, meaning the retention of the venerable 2.8 GD-6 turbodiesel engine possibly with and without the 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Set to remain on the IMV platform rather than moving to the TNGA-F that underpins the Land Cruiser Prado, Land Cruiser 300, Tacoma, Tundra, Sequoia, Lexus GX and LX, reports from Australia have, however, alleged that the Hilux could possibly receive the eight-speed automatic from the former, though this remains unconfirmed at present. Possible changes Its foundation, currently also used by the Fortuner and Hilux Champ/Rangga likely to be updated, the Hilux's interior will suggestively also undergo a series of revisions to offset its age, of which the exact extent remains unclear. Current AN110 generation Hilux has been on-sale globally since 2015. Image: Toyota Speculatively, these are likely to consist of upgraded materials, a new dashboard housing a bigger infotainment display, and possibly a fully digital instrument cluster on higher-end derivatives. More before 2026? '[Hilux] is extremely important to us as a business and a company. It is the most important vehicle we manufacture and sell… it is our core model,' Toyota South Africa Motors President and CEO, Andrew Kirby, told The Citizen on the sidelines of the Land Cruiser Prado's launch in Mozambique last year. '[The next generation] will have exciting features and upgrades I think our customers will enjoy,'. Rumoured back in 2023 as being inline for unveiling in 2025, expectations are that the Hilux will possibly debut early next year before arriving in key markets throughout 2026. Despite no clear details being known at present, expect more, and additional spy images, to emerge throughout the remainder of the year.

ICMR's NIIH develops simple point of care test for haemophilia A, Von Willebrand Disease
A simple and affordable point-of-care test kit has been indigenously developed by the National Institute of Immunohaematology for early diagnosis of genetic bleeding disorders haemophilia A and Von Willebrand Disease . The test offers a promising alternative to the current standard of care which relies on complex and costly diagnostic procedures limited to very few tertiary facilities in India, Dr Rucha Patil, scientist at the National Institute of Immunohaematology ( NIIH ) in Mumbai, said. Bleeding disorders such as haemophilia A and Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) represent significant public health challenges in India due to underdiagnosis and limited access to diagnostic facilities. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nunca use o saca-rolhas para abrir um vinho. O motivo vai te surpreender Blog Amo Vinhos Undo The point-of-care (PoC) test costs just Rs 582 while the current lab-based tests cost around Rs 2,086, Dr Bipin Kulkarni, scientist, at NIIH, said. The test kit was invented by former scientist Dr Shrimati Shetty and former ICMR postdoctoral fellow from NIIH Dr. Priyanka Kasatkar. Live Events The World Federation for Haemophilia has shown interest in procuring these tests for deployment in countries where the disease is prevalent, Dr Manisha Madkaikar, director of NIIH, Mumbai and Centre for Research Management and Control of Haemoglobinopathies (CRHCM) in Nagpur under the ICMR, said. "For India, this new rapid, visual card testing device has made testing possible even at primary health centres bringing diagnosis closer to the people who need it most. By using these PoC kits at PHCs and other local health centres, India can find and treat these bleeding disorders early, improve patient outcomes, and cut healthcare costs dramatically. This is a major step toward improving care for one of the country's most neglected health issues", Dr Madkaikar said. The Health Technology Assessment (HTA) analysis team of ICMR and Department of Health Research (DHR) recommended that the PoC kits for haemophilia A and VWD are suitable for primary facility-based screening and suggested integration of the test into the national health programs at primary healthcare level. This is currently being implemented in different states, Dr Kulkarni said. "This kit could help detect over 83,000 undiagnosed cases", he said, adding, "It would save the health system about Rs 42 crore, which is three times cheaper than the current method". Haemophilia A and VWD are the two most common inherited bleeding disorders. People with these conditions often suffer from joint swelling, easy bruising, muscle bleeding, and in women, heavy menstrual bleeding or complications during childbirth. "India is estimated to have 1.5 lakh people with haemophilia, but only about 27,000 are officially diagnosed," Dr Patil said. "Incidence of haemophilia A is 1 in 5,000 male births. VWD is known to affect 1 per cent of general population," she said. "Haemophilia A is passed down in families through the X chromosome (X linked recessive disorder)", Dr Patil explained. "Boys are usually the ones who have the disease, because they have only one X chromosome. If that X has the faulty gene, they don't have a 'backup' and will show symptoms. Girls usually have two X chromosomes, so if one X has the faulty gene, the other X can often make up for it. These girls are called 'carriers'," he said. "The VWD is an autosomal disease. This means both males and females can get it equally. It is not linked to gender like haemophilia," Dr Patil added.

RBI MPC Meet June 2025: When and where to watch rate decision live
Live broadcast of RBI MPC policy outcome at 10 am today The Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), which began deliberations on June 4, concludes its meeting today, June 6. RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra will announce the committee's policy outcome at 10 am, which will be streamed live on the RBI's YouTube channel, X (formerly Twitter) account, and its official website. A press conference is expected around noon on the same platforms. You can follow live reports of the RBI's policy announcement on Business Standard's RBI MPC Live Blog. Markets eye another repo rate cut This is the second monetary policy review for FY2025–26. In April, the MPC cut the repo rate by 25 basis points to 6 per cent, shifting its stance from neutral to accommodative. Another 25 bps cut is widely expected today, which would bring the repo rate down to 5.75 per cent. Why the RBI MPC meeting matters The MPC meets six times a year to decide on interest rates, inflation management, and overall monetary direction. Its decisions are shaped by consumer price index (CPI) inflation, liquidity levels, economic growth trends, and global financial cues. According to VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, 'The RBI is likely to cut policy rates by 25 bp. This is already factored in by the market. More important will be the RBI commentary on growth and inflation projections for FY26. If the inflation forecast is cut from 4 per cent, the market would respond positively.' So far this year, the RBI has cut rates by 50 basis points, citing low inflation and sluggish growth. What is the repo rate and why is it important? The repo rate is the rate at which the RBI lends short-term funds to commercial banks against government securities. A cut in this rate reduces borrowing costs for banks, making loans cheaper for businesses and consumers, which in turn can stimulate the economy. April MPC recap: Rate cut and CPI revision The previous MPC meet held from April 7–9 saw the repo rate cut to 6 per cent and a change in stance to accommodative. The RBI also lowered the standing deposit facility (SDF) rate to 5.75 per cent, and revised the CPI inflation forecast from 4.2 per cent to 4 per cent.
