Rise of Type-2 Diabetes: A Growing Concern Worldwide

The good news is that many of these changes can be reversed with healthy habits like diet, exercise, and weight control. According to AIIMS professor Dr. Reema Dada, who conducted the research, type-2 diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseases in the world. It occurs when the body does not use insulin properly or does not make enough insulin. It can damage the kidneys, eyes, nerves, heart, and brain if left unchecked for a long time. Dr. Reema pointed out that the risk of diabetes does not depend only on the genes inherited from parents. There are also chemical changes in the body that determine how active a gene will be. These are called epigenetic changes. Research has found that these changes in the DNA of the body's fat, liver, muscle, and pancreas cells affect the genes that control insulin and blood sugar. It is estimated that more than 100 million people in India suffer from pre-diabetes.

Murder of Chemist Shop Cashier in Chandigarh: Planned Hit or Mistaken Identity?

The murder of a cashier at a Sector 11 chemist shop in Chandigarh last week was allegedly a planned hit and not a case of mistaken identity, with police sources claiming that the victim had been identified beforehand and surveilled before the attack. Police sources told The Indian Express that an absconding accused, Amit Kumar, had allegedly spent around Rs 25,000 on each of the two arrested accused — Sunny Mehra and Aryan Sharma — before the shooting, arranging clothes, shoes and other logistics. Police suspect the duo were recruited to execute the killing and had been promised additional payment after the job was completed. The fresh details emerged hours after Sunny and Aryan were injured in a police encounter on Thursday morning when they allegedly attempted to escape custody and opened fire at a police team while being brought to Chandigarh from Jammu, where they had been arrested a day earlier in connection with the June 13 murder of Janki Das, 45, a cashier at Shri Kumar Medicos in Sector 11. According to sources, police have found no indication that Janki Das was killed due to mistaken identity. Instead, investigators suspect the assailants conducted a recce of the victim before the attack. Sources said Sunny had allegedly been instructed to target the man seated at the counter wearing spectacles, while Amit allegedly entered the chemist shop with him and identified Janki Das moments before the shooting. Police sources believe Amit played a key role in the conspiracy. According to sources, he had allegedly been in touch with certain gangsters operating from Punjab through an intermediary based in Jammu and Kashmir. Investigators suspect he was tasked with arranging the killing and subsequently recruited Sunny and Aryan for the operation. Sources said the reconstructed sequence of events suggests that Amit and Sunny entered the chemist shop together on the afternoon of June 13, while Aryan remained outside near the motorcycle allegedly used in the crime. After the victim was identified, Sunny allegedly opened fire at close range before the trio fled. Janki Das sustained multiple gunshot injuries and later succumbed to them at PGIMER. The Special Investigation Team (SIT), comprising officers from the Crime Branch, Operations Cell, District Crime Cell and Sector 11 police station, subsequently launched a multi-state investigation involving CCTV analysis, technical surveillance, intelligence gathering and coordinated raids across Chandigarh, Punjab, Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir. According to police, the accused had arrived in Chandigarh on a stolen motorcycle bearing a Punjab registration number. After the murder, they allegedly fled towards Bougainvillea Garden and Kajheri before reaching ISBT Sector 43. Investigators said the accused later travelled to Delhi by bus and subsequently reached Jammu and Kashmir by train. Detailed scrutiny of CCTV footage, hotel records and technical evidence helped investigators identify the accused as Sunny Mehra, 22, and Aryan Sharma, 19, both residents of Jammu and Kashmir, along with Amit Kumar, who remains absconding. Police sources said Amit separated from Sunny and Aryan after they reached Kajheri. The latter two allegedly continued their journey to Delhi and later Jammu, where Chandigarh Police teams tracked and arrested them on Wednesday evening following raids at multiple locations. Meanwhile, the two accused sustained bullet injuries to their legs during an encounter with Chandigarh Police early Thursday. According to police, the incident occurred between 4.30 am and 5 am in the Panjab University area while the accused were being transported to Chandigarh. The police vehicle carrying them allegedly met with an accident after entering Chandigarh from the Punjab side, resulting in injuries to some police personnel. Police said a service weapon carried by one of the officials fell during the accident. According to Chandigarh Police IG Pushpendra Kumar, Sunny picked up the weapon and attempted to flee. Despite repeated warnings, he allegedly opened fire on the police party. Police said two rounds were fired by the accused, striking the police vehicle behind which personnel had taken cover. The police party initially fired a warning shot and subsequently retaliated when the accused allegedly continued trying to escape. During the exchange, four rounds were fired by the police team. Sunny sustained two bullet injuries to his left leg, while Aryan suffered a bullet injury to his right leg. The driver of the police vehicle was also injured. All three were shifted to Government Multi-Speciality Hospital, Sector 16, where they are undergoing treatment. Police said efforts were underway to arrest Amit Kumar and establish the full conspiracy behind the murder, including possible links to organised criminal networks and extortion activities. Officials indicated that further arrests and disclosures were likely as the investigation progresses.

New Hope for Severe Sickle Cell Disease Patients: Man Undergoes Successful Bone Marrow Transplant

Navi Mumbai, June 18: As the world observes World Sickle Cell Day on June 19, a 33-year-old man battling severe sickle cell disease (SCD) for more than three decades has found new hope after successfully undergoing a haploidentical bone marrow transplant at a Navi Mumbai hospital. The treatment, considered a potentially curative option for selected patients, has freed him from regular blood transfusions and significantly improved his quality of life. The procedure was performed at Apollo Hospitals Navi Mumbai, where the patient, Rahul (name changed), first sought treatment in October 2025 after years of enduring recurrent painful crises, repeated hospitalisations, multiple blood transfusions, chronic leg ulcers, recurrent infections and silent brain infarcts associated with advanced sickle cell disease. Following a detailed evaluation by the hospital's haematology and bone marrow transplant team, Rahul was identified as a suitable candidate for an allogeneic stem cell transplant. His sister was found to be a compatible haploidentical donor, making it possible to proceed with the transplant despite the absence of a fully matched donor. Advanced transplant procedure Before the transplant, doctors focused on controlling infections and improving the patient's overall health between October and November 2025. Once stabilised, he underwent a haploidentical stem cell transplant in December 2025 using an advanced protocol that included desensitisation for high donor-specific antibodies and post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), a technique designed to reduce transplant-related complications such as graft-versus-host disease. The month-long transplant process was followed by six months of intensive monitoring and recovery. According to the treating team, the patient has remained free from major infections, no longer requires regular blood transfusions and has shown a marked improvement in his overall functional status. "Sickle cell disease can be a lifelong struggle for many patients, particularly adults who have already developed recurrent painful crises, transfusion dependence and organ-related complications. Bone marrow transplantation remains the only established curative treatment for selected patients. In this case, a haploidentical transplant using his sister as the donor enabled us to offer a potentially curative option despite the absence of a fully matched donor. His recovery so far has been extremely encouraging," said Dr Punit Jain, Lead Consultant – Haematology, Haemato-Oncology, Bone Marrow Transplant and CAR T-cell Therapy at Apollo Hospitals Navi Mumbai. Hope for severe SCD patients Medical experts noted that while sickle cell disease is diagnosed at birth, its cumulative effects often become more pronounced during adulthood, leading to progressive organ damage, recurrent painful episodes and dependence on blood transfusions. India contributes a significant share of the global burden of sickle cell disease, making access to advanced treatment options increasingly important. Also Watch: Doctors said recent advances in transplant techniques, donor selection strategies and supportive care have expanded curative treatment possibilities for adult patients with severe sickle cell disease. While transplantation may not be necessary for every patient, carefully selected individuals with recurrent crises, transfusion dependence or progressive organ damage can benefit substantially from such interventions, the doctor said.

Fatigue Epidemic: Experts Blame Poor Lifestyle, Screen Time for Persistent Lack of Energy

New Delhi: Fatigue, lethargy, and lack of energy throughout the day, despite getting enough sleep, are becoming common nowadays. Health experts say that poor lifestyle, mental stress, increased screen time, and physical inactivity are the main reasons behind this. According to experts, frequent use of mobiles, laptops, and other digital devices affects the quality of sleep. Apart from this, irregular eating habits, lack of physical activity, and increased work pressure also do not allow the body to fully relax. In such a situation, a person feels tired even after sleeping all night. Dr. Praveen Kumar, Additional Medical Superintendent, Ad Guru Tegh Bahadur Hospital, said that frequent fatigue can also be a sign of lack of nutrition, stress, anemia, thyroid problems, or poor sleep quality. If this problem persists for a long time, a medical examination should be done. He said that regular exercise, a balanced diet, adequate water intake, and screen time can control this problem to a great extent.

Isabgol: A Natural Remedy for Stomach Troubles and Beyond

Isabgol Health Benefits go beyond just curing constipation. Known as ‘Ramabana’ in Ayurveda, psyllium husk is a fiber-rich home remedy that cools the stomach and tackles modern lifestyle problems like gas, acidity, high blood sugar, cholesterol, and weight gain without frequent medicines. Modern lifestyle and food habits are taking a toll on our health. Lack of fiber and poor nutrition have severely damaged our digestion. As a result, problems like constipation, gas, acidity and indigestion have become common. At the first sign of trouble, many of us reach for medicines. But frequent use of medication can be harmful. The good news: a simple, age-old home remedy can keep your stomach cool and solve many of these issues. What is Bhusi / Isabgol? Bhusi, also called Isabgol or psyllium husk, turns into a gel-like substance when soaked in water. Considered an Ayurvedic medicine, it’s rich in soluble fiber and has been recommended for constipation for generations. But its benefits go far beyond just relieving constipation. 6 Key Health Benefits of Isabgol: Isabgol has hygroscopic properties — it absorbs water from the digestive tract. The fiber adds bulk and softens stool, giving quick relief. How to use: Mix 2 teaspoons with warm milk at bedtime if you have stomach issues. It cleanses the intestines and helps stop infections that cause diarrhea. How to use: Mix Isabgol with curd. Both curd and Isabgol help bind stool and restore gut balance. Isabgol slows down glucose absorption in the gut. It contains gelatin which helps lower blood sugar, making it useful for people managing diabetes. It binds to bile acids and helps reduce LDL or “bad” cholesterol. At the same time, it can increase HDL or “good” cholesterol levels. By lowering triglycerides, improving lipid profiles, strengthening heart muscles, and reducing blood pressure, Isabgol supports overall heart health. Isabgol promotes a feeling of fullness. How to use: Mix it in a glass of water, juice, or lemon water and drink before meals. It keeps the stomach cool and helps control appetite. Important Note: While Isabgol is natural and generally safe, it may not suit everyone. People with intestinal blockages, difficulty swallowing, or those on certain medications should be cautious. Drink plenty of water with it to avoid choking or blockage. If you have chronic digestive issues, diabetes, or heart conditions, speak with a healthcare professional before adding it to your daily routine. Simple, affordable, and effective — Isabgol truly lives up to being called a ‘Ramabana’ for stomach troubles.

Rise in Heart Patients: Why Instant Oats Can Harm Your Health

Nowadays, the number of heart patients has increased rapidly in the country and the world. The reason behind heart-related diseases is the increasing level of bad cholesterol in the body. However, many people have also made changes in their diet and lifestyle for better heart health. Despite this, bad cholesterol in the body does not take the name of being low. In such a situation, well-known doctors are also explaining why bad cholesterol is not being controlled even after eating healthy. Oats rich in fiber is a healthy superfood. But, when buying oats, people often buy instant or spicy oats. Oats contain beta gluten fiber, but instant or spicy oats do not have these fibers because it uses a lot of sugar and salt, which harms heart health. So always buy plain oats. Do not put any sweetener in plain oats either. Eat oats instead of soaking it overnight.

Google Rolls Out Wear OS 7 to Pixel Watch Users with Redesigned Interface and AI-Powered Features

Google has begun rolling out Wear OS 7 to Pixel Watch users, bringing what could be the most significant software update yet to its smartwatch lineup. The update introduces a redesigned interface, deeper Gemini AI integration, new widget experiences and battery life improvements aimed at making the Pixel Watch smarter and more useful throughout the day. The update is currently available for the Pixel Watch 2, Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Watch 4, with availability expanding gradually over the coming days. Notably, the original Pixel Watch will not receive Wear OS 7, marking the first major platform update that skips Google’s first-generation smartwatch. One of the most noticeable changes in Wear OS 7 is the redesigned user interface. Google is replacing its traditional full-screen tiles with a new widget-based system that more closely resembles the widget experience on Android smartphones. The new design allows users to access information more efficiently while offering greater customization options. Wear OS 7 also introduces live notifications, enabling real-time updates directly on the watch face. Similar to Android’s Live Updates feature on smartphones, users can track ongoing activities and updates without needing to repeatedly open apps. Google says the update also focuses heavily on performance and efficiency. According to the company, Wear OS 7 can improve battery life by up to 10%, although actual gains will depend on individual usage patterns. The battery improvements come as smartwatch makers increasingly balance AI-powered features with power consumption concerns. The update further strengthens the Pixel Watch’s role within Google’s broader device ecosystem. Users will be able to interact more seamlessly with compatible devices and accessories. For example, photos captured using supported augmented reality glasses can be viewed directly on the watch. Google has also redesigned the audio controls interface, making it easier to switch playback between speakers, headphones and other connected devices. The biggest additions, however, revolve around Gemini Intelligence, Google’s rapidly expanding AI platform. A new feature called Create My Widget allows users to generate personalized widgets and dashboards using voice commands. Instead of manually configuring information panels, users can simply describe what they want and let Gemini create a customized layout. Google is also introducing Gemini-powered automations that can execute actions across multiple apps through a single request. These capabilities move the Pixel Watch closer to functioning as a proactive AI assistant rather than just a companion device. In addition, Gemini is gaining deeper access to personal information, including Gmail data and past interactions, enabling more contextual responses and smarter task completion. The expanded integration aims to make voice interactions more natural and useful by allowing Gemini to better understand user preferences and ongoing activities. The rollout reflects Google’s growing focus on bringing AI capabilities across its hardware ecosystem. While recent smartwatch updates have largely focused on health tracking and fitness features, Wear OS 7 places artificial intelligence at the center of the experience. With redesigned widgets, battery optimizations, enhanced device connectivity and a host of Gemini-powered features, Wear OS 7 represents a major evolution for the Pixel Watch platform. For users of supported models, the update could significantly change how they interact with Google’s smartwatch ecosystem in everyday use.

Nuvama Reiterates 'Buy' Rating on Hindustan Unilever Shares, Sees 40% Upside Potential

The shares of Hindustan Unilever are in the spotlight. It is also one of the most tracked consumer goods companies in India. The brokerage Nuvama has reiterated its ‘Buy’ rating on the stock and maintained a target price of Rs 3,090, implying an upside potential of around 40% from current levels. According to the Nuvama , growth trends at Hindustan Unilever (HUL) have improved steadily over the past few quarters. This is supported by premium product launches, rapid expansion in digital channels and the growing contribution of its direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands. Let’s take a look at the key reasons why the brokerage house is bullish on this stock – One of the key reasons behind Nuvama’s positive stance is the gradual acceleration in HUL’s revenue growth. Nuvama report noted that the revenue growth improved from 3% year-on-year in the first half of FY26 to 5.7% year-on-year in the third quarter, before reaching 7.6% year-on-year in the fourth quarter, the highest level seen in the last 12 quarters. Nuvama said, “We expect Q1FY27 to be strong with 9–10% YoY sales growth and volume growth of 6–7%.” The brokerage also expects HUL’s pricing growth ro be around 2-3%. As per the Nuvama report, HUL is increasingly focusing on premium categories to drive future growth. Over the past year, the company introduced several new products across beauty, wellness, nutrition and personal care categories. These include Dove’s Peptide range, Horlicks Protein Shake, Horlicks Pro Fitness, Closeup White Now and Lipton Metabolism Boost Effervescent Tablets. Nuvama believes premiumisation remains one of the most important growth levers for the company. Another important theme emerging within HUL’s business is the rapid growth of its D2C portfolio. Nuvama noted, “OZiva also scaled nearly 4x over the last three years.” The report further stated, “Minimalist grew in double-digit in the year of acquisition.” The brokerage believes these brands are helping HUL strengthen its presence in fast-growing consumer segments such as health, wellness and premium skincare. Consumer buying habits are changing rapidly, and HUL appears to be benefiting from this shift. During FY26, the online channels continued to grow strongly during FY26. Nuvama added “E-commerce revenue grew 25% YoY while quick commerce sales doubled in FY26.” The report also noted that modern trade channels continued to expand. HUL’s Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) margin stood at 23.6% in FY26. The brokerage noted, “EBITDA margin declined ~67bp YoY to 23.6% (at the upper end of guidance).” At the same time, return ratios improved. Return on Equity (RoE) rose to 22.1% in FY26 from 20.5% a year earlier, while Return on Capital Employed (RoCE) increased to 29.3%. HUL’s future growth will largely depend on the success of its premiumisation strategy. However, the report also highlighted one important risk. Nuvama cautioned that “ El Nino remains a risk for rural consumption”, which could affect demand trends in the second half of the year if weather conditions turn unfavourable.

Google's Fitbit Air: A Screenless Wearable for Health and Wellness

Google’s Fitbit Air has emerged as one of the most talked-about wearables of 2026. Unlike traditional smartwatches and fitness bands, the device takes a different approach by removing the screen altogether and focusing on continued health tracking,m recovery insights, and AI-powered caching. The wearable, which has already launched in markets including the US, UK, Europe and Australia, is also expected to arrive in India. Recent reports suggest the device has appeared in the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification database, signalling that an India launch could be getting closer. With Fitbit air, Google is targeting users who want health and fitness insights without the distractions of a display. The wearable resembles devices such as Whoop and is designed to be worn around the clock, tracking activity, sleep, recovery and heart health in the background. Google says the tracker weighs just 12g with the strap attached and 5.2g without the band, making it significantly smaller than existing Fitbit devices. The company has positioned it as an alternative for users who find smartwatches bulky or overly complex. A key feature of Fitbit Air is Google Health Coach, an AI-powered wellness assistant built using Gemini. Available through a Google Health Premium subscription, the feature is designed to offer personalised guidance based on activity levels, sleep patterns and recovery data. According to Google, the coach can help users create workout plans, analyse sleep trends, suggest recovery routines and provide recommendations tailored to individual health goals. Google has placed a strong emphasis on sleep and recovery tracking with Fitbit Air. The device includes a Smart Wake feature that uses sleep movement and heart-rate data to wake users during lighter sleep stages through gentle vibrations. Other health features include 24/7 heart-rate monitoring, resting heart-rate analysis, heart-rate variability (HRV) tracking, blood oxygen monitoring and heart rhythm monitoring with atrial fibrillation (AFib) alerts. Fitbit Air also tracks sleep stages and generates a sleep score designed to provide a cleaner picture of overall sleep quality. For fitness enthusiasts, Fitbit Air supports automatic workout detection and tracks a range of daily activities. The wearable includes features such as Active Zone Minutes, Cardio Load and Workout Intensity Maps to help users better understand exercise performance and recovery needs. Google says the device can learn user habits over time and deliver increasingly personalised recommendations. Live heart-rate data can also be shared with compatible gym equipment for real-time workout monitoring. Battery life is another major focus. Google claims the FitBit Air can last up to seven days on a single charge, while a five-minute fast charge can provide enough power for a full day of use. The wearable is water-resistant up to 50 metres and is available with multiple interchangeable bands. These include a recycled-material Performance Loop Band, a workout-focused Active Band and an Elevated Leather Band designed for formal occasions. Google is positioning Fitbit Air as a companion to the Pixel Watch ecosystem. Users can switch between a Pixel Watch and Fitbit Air while keeping their health data synced through Google Health. The company says the setup process is simplified through Fast Pair on Android devices, while support is also available for iPhone running on iOS 16.4 or newer. While Google has not announced an official India launch date, recent developments indicate that the wearable could arrive in the country soon. A BIS certification listing reportedly linked to Fitbit Air’s model number has fuelled speculation that regulatory approvals are underway. Google Health has also acknowledged interest from Indian consumers, stating that it does not have a launch timeline to share but encouraging users to watch for updates through its online store. According to reports, Fitbit Air could be priced between Rs 12,000 and Rs 14,000 in India. The device currently retails for $99.99 in global markets. Despite revealing many of its headline features, Google has yet to confirm India pricing, availability and subscription costs for Google Health Premium. Fitbit Air represents Google’s latest effort to expand its health and wellness ecosystem through a simpler, screenless wearable experience. With signs pointing towards an India launch, the device could soon enter one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing wearable markets.

Chronic Kidney Disease Can Disrupt Blood Sugar Control in People with Diabetes

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can disrupt blood sugar control in several ways. While healthy kidneys help maintain glucose balance by breaking down insulin and producing glucose when needed, a decline in kidney function contributes to prolonged insulin in the bloodstream , which can lower blood sugar levels more than expected. “This is especially important for people with diabetes who are on insulin or certain glucose-lowering drugs,” said Dr Sumiran Mahajan, consultant nephrologist, interventional nephrology and transplant services, KIMS Hospitals, Thane. DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to. Always consult your health practitioner before starting any routine. It can happen, particularly in the later stages of kidney disease, continued Dr Mahajan. “Reduced appetite, dietary restrictions, nausea, and unintentional weight loss are common issues for many CKD patients and can lead to lower blood sugar levels. Sometimes, patients continue taking the same doses of diabetes medications even when their body’s insulin needs change, increasing the risk of hypoglycemia,” said Dr Mahajan. Low blood sugar can cause sweating, shakiness, dizziness, weakness, hunger, headache, confusion, blurred vision, or trouble concentrating. “In severe cases, it may result in loss of consciousness if not treated quickly. Since some symptoms can be mild, regular monitoring is especially important for people dealing with both diabetes and kidney disease,” said Dr Mahajan. Not necessarily, clarified Dr Mahajan. “A decrease in blood sugar levels should not be seen as a good sign. Often, it indicates changes in how the body processes insulin and medications as kidney function worsens. Any unexpected drop in blood sugar should be discussed with a healthcare professional to identify the cause,” said Dr Mahajan. Dr Mahajan advised regular blood sugar monitoring, timely meals, reviewing medications, and routine check-ups. “Patients should never change their diabetes medications without consulting a doctor. As kidney disease advances, treatment plans often need adjustments to keep blood sugar in a safe range. Early recognition of symptoms and active management can help prevent complications and enhance overall quality of life ,” said Dr Mahajan.

MINI Launches Countryman C Petrol SUV in India; Aims to Double Sales Volumes This Year

British heritage brand MINI on Wednesday launched the Countryman C, a locally assembled petrol-powered SUV, at an introductory price of ₹47.50 lakh (ex-showroom). In a media interaction, Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO, BMW Group India , spoke to Narayanan V about MINI’s growth ambitions, localisation strategy, electric vehicle adoption in the luxury car market, and the company’s outlook for FY27. Edited excerpts: From an overall BMW portfolio perspective, MINI is very crucial because we have never crossed 1,000 units in sales. The best we have done is about 700-800 units. Last year, MINI sold 730 units, and this year we want to double those volumes. So, you can understand what it means to really double MINI volumes in India. India is an SUV country. A lot of people are shifting to SUVs, and earlier we only had the electric vehicle in that segment. Our portfolio now has the MINI Hatch and Convertible (Cooper) and Countryman SUV. The second factor was pricing. When you have an electric vehicle priced at around ₹62 lakh, it becomes prohibitive. Somewhere beyond ₹50 lakh, people start feeling it is too much. We wanted better pricing, and that could only be achieved through localisation. That is why we localised the Countryman and arrived at this pricing. The MINI network will double by the end of this year. We are adding 10 new touchpoints across eight new cities. By the end of 2026, MINI will be present in 21 outlets across 19 cities. Yes, absolutely. A lot of diesel customers are now switching to electric vehicles. What diesel customers wanted was better fuel efficiency for long-distance driving and strong torque for highway overtaking. Electric vehicles are a very good replacement for diesel because our EVs offer a range of over 500 km and deliver very good torque. So, electric vehicles are slowly and gradually replacing diesel cars, which is why we are also increasing our EV supplies this year. However, 70-75% of luxury vehicle demand is still petrol, which is why we have brought the Countryman (petrol SUV) here. We are going with customer demand. For MINI, EVs already account for about 30% of sales. We were wondering whether that share would come down because petrol demand could increase following this launch. For BMW , EVs accounted for 21% of sales last year. This year, that has already increased to 26%. We are following the trend. Nobody anticipated demand would move to these levels so quickly. Demand has already gone to around 30%, but supplies cannot change overnight. So now we are looking at how we can increase supplies. Some completely built units (CBUs) and certain components are stuck around the Strait of Hormuz, which is delaying supplies. We receive a lot of CKD and SKD kits through that route, and some of our fully imported M series cars are also affected. However, we work with lead times of around six months, which is why we tend to stock up slightly more. So, for now, we are sorted. Had the disruption continued beyond two or three weeks, it would have had an impact. The India-EU FTA is still about a year-and-a-half away from implementation, which means it could come into effect around the beginning of 2028. Even then, it will start with a 40% import duty. Most of the cars we produce here are already at a 15% duty structure. The duty will gradually come down from 40% to 30%, then 20%. So it will be another five years before we really start seeing meaningful benefits. From where we are today, significant changes will probably be visible only by 2031. We will relook at our strategy as the agreement progresses. Two years ago, we sold around 15,000 cars. Last year, we sold 18,000 cars. This year, we are looking to cross 20,000 units. We grew 17% in the first quarter, and the trend looks very similar in the second quarter. If we end the first half with around 15% growth, then on last year’s base of 18,000 cars, we will definitely cross 20,000 units. At present, we have manufacturing capacity for up to 50,000 vehicles, so there is sufficient headroom for growth. This year, we plan to launch 26 models. In the first half alone, we are launching about 12 models. Out of the 26, around 10 are major updates or significant model changes. We have already launched the X6 and the M440i. Practically every month, we are introducing one or two products, and we will continue with this pace through the rest of the year.

Heat Wave Woes: Blood Pressure Complaints Soar as Temperature Rises

Temperature rise and continuous hot winds have led to an increase in the number of patients with blood pressure-related complaints. CHC is receiving such patients every day. Medical Superintendent Dr. Harvinder Singh said that in hot weather, excessive sweating from the body leads to a lack of water and essential minerals. This can lead to fluctuating blood pressure. Many people are also complaining of dizziness and restlessness with a sudden feeling of weakness. Between 40 and 50 such patients are reaching CHC every day. He said that one should avoid going out of the house unnecessarily in the afternoon. If it is necessary to go out, cover the head and keep consuming water, lemon water, buttermilk, ORS or other liquids from time to time.

Heatwave Woes: Hospital Admissions Surge as Temperatures Soar

A total of 173 patients were admitted to the emergency ward of the district hospital in critical condition in the morning and evening. Of these, 126 patients were admitted in critical condition. Severe heat and heat wave conditions are increasing in the district. Humidity and heat are affecting people's sleep, which has led to a rapid increase in complaints of insomnia and headache. The situation is such that coolers and ACs installed in homes and offices are also proving ineffective in the face of heat, while fans are throwing hot air. Health problems are also increasing due to heat. More patients are arriving in the emergency than in the OPD at the hospital. The patients are not available for beds in the emergency ward after 11 am. In such a situation, the patients have to be shifted to the orthopaedic and surgical wards. There is also a dispute between the doctors regarding the admission to the wards with AC. A total of 1319 patients arrived at the OPD of the district hospital on Wednesday for treatment. Physicians, pediatricians, ophthalmologists and ophthalmologists, according to the OPD, have seen a large number of patients with ophthalmology symptoms.
