The latest model joins the i30 N and i30 Fastback N among Hyundai’s high-performance line-up in Europe to satisfy performance-oriented enthusiasts. The all-new i20 N has its roots in motorsport.

This time, we decided to develop a model inspired by our i20 Coupe WRC, which last year led us to success in the World Rally Championship.

Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav, who has made unemployment in Bihar a major poll issue, released the party’s poll manifesto today reiterating his promise of 10 lakh jobs and better health infrastructure. He also hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party for trying to “fool people”. “Employment and job are different. We’re talking about 10 lakh government jobs… Our promise for 10 lakh jobs is genuine. We could have also made fake promises of 50 lakh jobs like the NDA government,” said Mr Yadav inflating the BJP’s poll promise of 19 lakh jobs in Bihar. The promise was made in BJP’s poll manifesto a day after Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi questioned how the Grand Alliance Chief Ministerial candidate plans to pay the salary. “The Bihar government can easily provide 4 lakh jobs… The state has a budget of ₹ 2.13 lakh crore of which only 60 per cent has been spent. Nitish Kumar has not been able to spend the remaining 40 per cent, which is ₹ 80,000 crore,” the leader of Oppos

Health insurance can be tricky to understand for most people in India. Hence, many a time, people avoid buying the policy altogether. However, considering the urgency of the product with the on-going situation, every individual needs to have a health insurance plan in place. From October 2020, there are several changes implemented by the Government of India that are bound to affect your finances. In simple words, these changes will impact your regular expenses in many ways. Health insurance plans in India is one such section that will change entirely from this month.

India’s richest state Maharashtra has invited US electric-car maker Tesla, weeks after its Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk suggested entering the country next year. In a tweet on Thursday, state tourism and environment minister Aaditya Thackeray said he and industries minister Subhash Desai held a video call with Tesla executives earlier in the day to invite them to the state. Last month, Tesla’s market value dropped $50 billion (roughly Rs. 3,68,300 crores) despite CEO Elon Musk’s promise to cut electric vehicle costs so radically that a $25,000 (roughly Rs. 18.4 lakhs) car that drives itself will be possible, but not for at least three years. Musk and other Tesla executives presented their new battery and manufacturing strategies in the company’s “Battery Day” event in September. “Nothing Musk discussed about batteries is a done deal,” said Roth Capital Partners analyst Craig Irwin. “There was nothing tangible.” Investors had expected two significant announcements at Musk’s oft-tou

Domestic share markets rose on Friday, driven by gains in financials and IT stocks, with investors focused on talks for another US stimulus package and earnings reports from domestic blue-chip companies due later in the day. At 9:53 am, the S&P BSE Sensex index traded 40.65 points – or 0.34 per cent – higher at 40,694.80 while the broader NSE Nifty 50 benchmark was up 136.31 points – or 0.34 per cent – at 11,937.10. Both indices were headed for weekly gains of more than 1 per cent each. Equity markets elsewhere in Asia were little changed as the final debate between US President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden offered little to impress investors, with the focus remaining on signs of progress in US stimulus talks.

India has seen a marginal improvement in its COVID-19 numbers in the past 24 hours, with both the number of positive cases as well as fatalities falling a little. It remained second in the global ranking of total cases, though, with over 7.7 lakh cases, behind the US’s 8.4 lakh. Over 1.1 lakh people have died of the disease across the country since the first case was reported in Kerala in January. The government of India on Thursday said it had earmarked ₹ 50,000 crore to inoculate the entire population once a vaccine is ready.
