For FY23, net profit grew 34.5% to ₹6,549 crore from ₹4,870 crore in FY22, thanks to higher volumes and cooling inflation. M&amp;M’s standalone revenue in Q4 grew 31% YoY to ₹22,571 crore, beating analyst estimates of ₹21,899 crore. For FY23, its revenue grew 47% to ₹84,960 crore. “Operational profits improved significantly, as a result of volume growth, timely pricing actions, easing commodity inflation and stringent control over fixed costs,” the company said in its exchange filing. However, the lower share of farm equipment in total volumes during FY23 resulted in a decline in net margins, which fell to 7.7% from 8.4% in FY22. "It has been a blockbuster year for the group. Auto led the way with record-breaking launches, as we regained the #1 position for SUV revenue market share. LCVs, farm equipment, and electric 3-wheelers continue to strengthen our leadership position," said M&amp;M chief executive officer and managing director Anish Shah. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Volumes surge across the board" comment="subhead" text="Volumes surge across the board">Volumes surge across the board</cmsannotation> M&amp;M’s volume growth during Q4 was driven by the farm equipment segment, with tractor sales recording a 24% YoY growth to 89,128 units. On a full-year basis, both the automotive as well as farm equipment segments hit their respective all-time highs at 6.98 lakh units and 4.04 lakh units, respectively. Overall, M&amp;M’s total volumes surged 35% in FY23 to 1.1 million units, from 8.17 lakh units in FY22. Driving the growth in the automotive segment were “successful mega launches”, the company said in a post-earnings press conference. M&amp;M also expanded its dominance in the sports utility vehicle (SUV) segment, increasing its revenue market share by 170 basis points YoY to 19.6%. It said that the open bookings of its SUVs stood at 2.92 lakh as on May 1, further underlining its leadership position in this segment and also the strong demand momentum. The company also declared a dividend of ₹16.25 per share. Its shares closed 0.3% higher on Friday, at ₹1,282 apiece.

Pad Pro 5G design</h2>Starting with the design, the <keyword id="22552327" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Redmi-Pad-Pro-5G-features" source="Orion">Redmi Pad Pro 5G features</keyword> a sleek design and comes with an aluminium unibody design, giving it a sturdy and premium feel. The tablet measures 7.52mm and weighs 568 grams. The tablet comes in two colour options - Quick Silver and Graphite Grey. I got the Graphite Grey colour variant, which comes with a dual-tone matte finish. The area around the rear camera setup has a long strip in a darker tone, while the rest of the back features a lighter tone. <div type="image" title="Back" msid="114583789" hostid="261" sizebytes="52882" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Redmi Pad Pro 5G rear design&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The tablet comes with a minimalistic design, featuring two circular modules at the back – one for the camera and one for the LED. It comes with Redmi branding at the bottom. Apart from this, there’s nothing at the back. Thanks to its metallic body, you don’t have to worry about fingerprint smudges. The volume rockers have been placed considering that the tablet will be used vertically and horizontally. The volume rockers are on the right when held vertically and on the top when used horizontally. <div type="image" title="Top" msid="114584038" hostid="261" sizebytes="25798" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Power button and speakers&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The power button is on the top when held vertically and on the left side when held horizontally. I had no issues using the volume rockers and the power button. The SIM tray has been placed on the right side, along with two microphones. The tablet is equipped with quad speakers – two at the top and two at the bottom. The speakers come with Dolby Atmos support. <div type="image" title="Bottom" msid="114584061" hostid="261" sizebytes="28208" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ports at the bottom&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> At the bottom, you also get the USB Type-C port and a 3.5mm audio jack. <h2>Redmi Pad Pro 5G display</h2>Coming to the display, it features a 12.1-inch 2.5K 2.5D LCD panel with a 16:10 aspect ratio and a 120Hz refresh rate. It offers up to 600 nits brightness. <div type="image" title="Display" msid="114583969" hostid="261" sizebytes="43918" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Redmi Pad Pro display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> While an AMOLED display would have offered better colours and contrast, the Redmi Pad Pro 5G’s display is bright and offers vibrant visuals. It works well both indoors and outdoors, so you won’t have to worry about using it in sunlight. The tablet’s high resolution and refresh make it an excellent option for watching your favourite movies and shows, gaming and more. <h2>Redmi Pad Pro 5G software and performance</h2>The Redmi Pad Pro 5G runs on Android 14 out of the box, with the company’s HyperOS on top. For those unaware, Xiaomi has replaced MIUI, the company’s custom skin with HyperOS. The tablet will get two years of Android updates and three years of security updates. The tablet comes with a host of connectivity features, including the Smartphone Link feature that allows you to transfer data from your Xiaomi smartphone and tablet easily. In addition to this, you also get a shared clipboard feature, which allows you to copy text and images from your smartphone and paste them onto your tablet. In terms of performance, the tablet is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset. It is available in two variants – 8GB RAM with 128GB of internal storage and 8GB RAM with 256GB of internal storage. I tested the 8GB RAM + 256GB internal storage variant. This is a mid-range chipset that offers decent performance and is enough to get you through your day-to-day activities. While it is not the most powerful chipset, I did not notice any stuttering or lags while gaming at default settings. The device does get slightly warm after an extended gaming session. The Redmi Pad Pro 5G comes with a huge 10,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. The battery on the tablet is good, offering two days of battery life with some gaming and steaming. Another important feature of the tablet is that it supports 5G connectivity, which is great to have, especially for data connectivity. <h2>Redmi Pad Pro 5G camera</h2>It features an 8MP primary camera with 4K recording support and comes with an 8MP selfie camera with 1080p video recording support. The cameras are not a highlight of the device and are just enough for video calls and casual shots. <div type="image" title="Rear camera" msid="114583942" hostid="261" sizebytes="41766" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Redmi Pad Pro rear camera&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The tablet performs decently in daylight conditions but struggles in low-light conditions. <h2>Verdict</h2>The Redmi Pad Pro 5G is a good value-for-money device that is aimed at users looking for a tablet to get some work done and also enjoy content on the go. The device offers a good display, good speakers, good battery life and a decent design. If you are in the market for a tablet around ₹25,000, the Redmi Pad Pro 5G is a good option.

<ul><li><keyword id="19906087" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="hyundai" source="keywords">Hyundai</keyword> Motor India Limited is set to debut in India's stock market.</li><li>The IPO will open on October 15, making it the first car company in over two decades to go public in India.</li><li>Here’s everything you need to know about the South Korean automaker ahead of its IPO.</li></ul> Hyundai Motor India Limited, the Indian arm of South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor Company is all set to make its stock market debut in India as its initial public offering (IPO) opens on October 15. This will be the first market outside South Kores where the country is listed. Hyundai, which entered the Indian market in 1996 is one of the top automakers in India, moving between the second and third spots. The company emerged as the second biggest automaker in Hyundai. Since it entered the Indian market, the company has sold over 80 lakh cars in the country. Hyundai intends to establish India as a global manufacturing and export hub for the company and this might be an initial step in this direction. KFin Technologies is the registrar for the public issue and advisors for the issue include Kotak Investment Banking, Citi, HSBC, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley. <h2>India’s biggest IPO</h2>Hyundai India is looking to raise ₹27,870 crore from the IPO, significantly higher than the ₹21,008 crore raised by the state-owned Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) in 2022, making it the biggest IPO in India’s history. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111690863" title="The biggest IPOs in India’s history – LIC to Paytm, companies that have raised the most funds" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> <h2>About the IPO</h2>The upcoming IPO from Hyundai is entirely an offer for sale (OFS), with the company looking to offload up to 17.5% of shares, which is 14.22 crore shares with a price band of ₹1865 to ₹1,960 per share. Bids can be made in a lot size of 7 shares or multiples of 7 shares. The IPO opens on October 15 and will close on October 18. While the allotment will be finalised on October 18, the shares will be listed on the stock exchange on October 22. At the upper end of the price band, Hyundai Motor India will be valued at $18 billion (approx. ₹1.6 lakh crore), which is around 40% of its parent company, Hyundai Global’s $45 billion valuation. As it is entirely an OFS, the company won’t receive any funds and all the funds raised will go to Hyundai Global. However, the company has said that part of the funds will be allocated towards research and development, especially in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid technologies. The company has reserved 7.78 lakh shares with a value of ₹131 to ₹138 crore for employees. Employees will get these shares at a discount of ₹186 per share. <h2>First carmaker in over two decades to go public</h2>In addition to being the biggest IPO in the country’s history, this will also make the company the first car maker to go public in India in over two decades. The last car maker to go public was Maruti Suzuki, which held its IPO in 2003. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="114120828" title="The Ola Electric Saga: Are surge in complaints and declining market share a wake-up call for Bhavish Aggarwal?" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> With the IPO, the company will join other car makers such as Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors and Mahindra &amp; Mahindra to be listed in the Indian stock market. <h2>Hyundai in India</h2>The Indian market contributes to around 15% of the company’s global sales and is the third biggest market for the company after the United States and South Korea. The company has already invested around $5 billion in the country and plans to invest an additional $4 billion over the next few years.

During the 3-month period from April to June 2024, the company earned a revenue of ₹17,567.98 crore. The company recorded a profit after tax (PAT) of ₹6,060.04 crore in FY24, up from ₹4,709.25 crore in FY23 and ₹2,901.59 crore in FY22. The company recorded a PAT of ₹1,489.65 crore from April to June 2024. “Hyundai Motor India is seeking a slightly higher premium to Maruti and lower to M&amp;M based on price earnings ratio while Hyundai stands to be expensive in terms of price to book value. Hyundai India justifies its premium ask considering its leadership in SUV sales, world-class brand image followed by better safety ratings, Multi-segment growth visibility largely been driven by its popular SUVs, particularly the Creta, Exter, and Venue models in the Indian market,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities. <h2>Hyundai paid ₹10,780 crore dividend in FY24</h2>Ahead of the IPO, Hyundai paid a ₹10,780 crore dividend in FY24, up from ₹4,653.42 crore dividend in FY23 and ₹1,493.45 crore dividend in FY22. With this, the company’s cash and bank balance has declined from ₹17,741.15 crore a year ago to ₹9,017.35 crore. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113925972" title="September Auto sales – Automakers report a decline, Mahindra and Mahindra overtakes Tata Motors" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> “As a result, our ability to utilise our internal accruals and cash and bank balances has been reduced. Any resultant insufficiency in our internal accruals and cash and bank balance may require us to borrow money to meet our growth requirements and incur borrowing costs, which may adversely impact our profitability, financial ratios and results of operations,” the company said in its Red Herring Prospectus (RHP). <h2>Declining grey market premium</h2>Grey market premium (GMP) is the premium at which IPO shares are traded in an unofficial market before they are listed on the stock exchanges. In essence, it is the premium above the issue price of a share. The GMP of Hyundai has been on a decline, from ₹570 around two weeks ago to ₹130. <h2>Key risks to remember</h2>Here are some of the key risks that the business faces: <h3>Rising part prices</h3>There has been an increase in prices of key vehicle parts over the years, especially chipsets. A further rise in price may impact the company’s profitability in the coming years. <h3>Production disruptions</h3>The company has said that any disruption to its Chennai plant will adversely impact the production and the company’s finances. <h3>Supplier dependency</h3>Another risk to keep in mind is the company’s dependency on its suppliers. Any disruption in its supply chain will adversely impact its production and profitability. <h3>Competition</h3>Hyundai alternates between the second and third position in the Indian car market. An increase in competition, with the increased sales of Mahindra and Mahindra, the company faces a new competitor.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Tech writer Shubham Agarwal spent over half a decade loyal to Apple's iPhone.</li><li>He grew tired of the lack of difference between iPhone upgrades and having to use multiple devices.</li></ul>I switched to an iPhone over half a decade ago. It was an easy decision: Apple's iPhone excelled at all the phone jobs I needed, from good pictures to running dozens of apps to lasting a busy workday.The $999 iPhone X I bought also felt groundbreaking at the time: The nearly edge-to-edge screen was a joy to use, and Face ID made it easy to log in and authenticate digital payments.In the years since, my screen time has shot up. I do everything on my phone: reading books, catching up on TV shows, doing the daily crossword. I was spending more time on my handheld than on my computer. And it was all giving me a headache, possibly worsening my myopia. The iPhone's screen size was too limiting for the smartphone's evolving role in my life.<h2 id="e5ecc015-7fe8-4ef1-85c5-0dcb4b8d8783">Apple upgrades were uninspiring </h2>My iPhone's cameras and performance improved with upgrades. I appreciate the iPhone 13's better photography system and the iPhone 15's universal USB-C port. But the model I own today is fundamentally the same device I used years ago. Such a lack of differentiation made me less inclined to invest another $1,000 to upgrade my iPhone, which I tend to do every two years.I had a Kindle and an iPad but couldn't carry them everywhere. Switching back and forth between devices was a chore, and I often ended up doing what I'd reserved the iPad for on my iPhone.I also considered the "max" iPhone, but it just seemed like an uncomfortably large screen without offering much in return. Apple's mobile software didn't have any special features for larger displays.<h2 id="ba359e63-6ae3-4c01-8894-d04d86b2c3cb">I was intrigued by foldable smartphones</h2><div type="image" title="iPhone 15 compared to the Honor Magic V3" height="2548" width="3395" msid="114583512" hostid="261" sizebytes="211792"></div>Unsurprisingly, I was tempted by phone makers' advancements with folding displays. A typical handheld folds out to reveal a tablet-sized screen. As someone who writes about phones for a living, I got to try a few, but the tech a couple of years ago wasn't convincing enough to replace my iPhone. Their designs were too thick, fragile, and heavy. That is until earlier this year, when Apple decided it wouldn't bring its latest AI features to its one-year-old iPhone 15 models, forcing me to look for alternatives. Honor, a China-based phone brand, released its Magic V3, the thinnest and lightest foldable phone on the market. Here's why I bought it, despite its astronomical <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.honor.com/uk/phones/honor-magic-v3/buy/?srsltid=AfmBOorLiqaY1v1P2O-KLIeGLobxGdd6Cy0g5G6Ixvsae9ARlCSPLbEJ">£1,699 price tag</a>, around $2,205 — more than double what I paid for my iPhone 15 in 2023.<h2 id="d0df618b-0b66-4623-9f84-8f4b0d620899">The thinness of the model sold me </h2>While it was over £500 more than what I had paid for a new phone in the past, the amount of time I now spend on my phone justified the investment. This phone is "book-style," unfolding horizontally like a book. It's not officially available in the US yet, but in Europe and the UK, it's sold in Three and Vodafone stores, in addition to the official Honor website. Honor has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.canalys.com/newsroom/europe-smartphone-market-Q1-2024">doubled</a> its market share in Europe this year.The thinness of the model sold me. I could take advantage of its folding form factor without compromising on ergonomics.Even with its two screen halves folded, it's 9.3mm thick — far slimmer than other foldables like the Samsung Galaxy Fold 6 at 12.1mm, and nearly the same as a traditional top-of-the-line phone, on average 8.4mm. Unfolded, the Magic V3 is 4.4mm thin, half the width of the latest iPhone 16. <div type="image" title="iPhone 13 Pro and the Honor Magic V3" height="2599" width="3110" msid="114583516" hostid="261" sizebytes="202092"></div>As with any other smartphone, the Honor Magic V3 has a tall 6.43-inch screen that dominates the front. This screen suffices for most tasks, like calling someone or responding to texts. But when I want extra room for reading an article or streaming Netflix, I can fold it out like a book to a wide 8-inch inner display. Whatever app or content I was browsing on the outer screen automatically expands to fill the extended space.The folding panel is crease-less. The company's Android-based software makes it possible to leverage the larger screen. If I'm researching for a vacation, I can stick my notes on one side and a web browser on another and work on them side-by-side.I can multitask like I would on my desktop computer or iPad. It even turns into a mini laptop, with the bottom screen working as a large touch keyboard.<h2 id="6b405e8c-37e3-4b71-b733-1095313e9cb1">It's eliminated my need for multiple devices</h2>It wasn't difficult to migrate my data onto an Android, and now iMessage is supported, I wasn't missing out on messaging capabilities. I was already using Google Photos to back up my mediaAfter a couple of weeks, the Magic V3 even replaced my Kindle. The phone has an e-book mode with eye-friendly tools, and a Do Not Disturb mode so I can disconnect from notifications while reading. Its inner screen is better for reading books, and the dedicated e-book mode applies a monochrome filter throughout the software. It even minimizes flickers, mitigating headaches caused by prolonged blue-light consumption.The Honor Magic V3 is the first of many folding phones that challenge the smartphone status quo and could win. It's not free of flaws yet. I'm concerned about the phone's long-term durability, given it packs far more moving parts than an average phone. While it is the slimmest foldable, it's still slightly more cumbersome than a typical smartphone for most users and their pockets. But since it replaces three devices, I've found the effort worth the trouble. As someone who struggled to justify carrying multiple screens for different purposes, I recommend consolidating them into one.

I was a loyal iPhone user but switched to a foldable smartphone not yet available in the US. It was worth it — even at double the price.

At the time of updating the story, the index is 1.6% in the red. Auto stocks had fallen sharply after Gadkari said he will seek a "<keyword id="2169429" type="General" weightage="60" keywordseo="pollution-tax" source="Orion">pollution tax</keyword>" in the form of additional <keyword id="6354679" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="gst" source="Orion">GST</keyword> of 10% on diesel vehicles and gensets in order to cut down on air pollution. This in turn has dragged the stocks down as most of the commercial vehicles in the country currently run on diesel. At the time of updating, Mahindra and Mahindra is down 1.7% but shown a recovery from the 3.48% slide. Ashok Leyland has now recovered slightly too and is down 2.4% while Tata Motors which had slipped 2.8% is now down 1.8%. The Road and Transport Minister has subsequently clarified his comment on X (formerly Twitter). He said that that there is no such proposal currently under active consideration by the government. <div type="twitter" handle="nitin_gadkari" handlename="nitin_gadkari" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1701501884324860043"></div> Earlier, speaking at the 63rd Annual SIAM convention Delhi, the Union Road Transport and Highways Minister said the rising level of pollution is a health hazard for citizens. "I am going to handover a letter to the Finance Minister this evening stating that an additional 10% GST be put on diesel-powered vehicles," Gadkari said. In the passenger vehicle segment, various carmakers including Maruti Suzuki India and Honda have already stopped manufacturing diesel cars. Gadkari said the contribution of diesel cars has already come down drastically in the country and the manufacturers need to stop selling them in the market. Terming diesel as a hazardous fuel, he noted that the country has to import the fuel to meet the demand. "Say goodbye to diesel... Please stop making them, otherwise we will just increase the tax so much that it would become difficult to sell diesel cars" Gadkari said. He said he will propose additional GST on diesel-powered generators as well. Automobiles are currently taxed at 28% GST, with additional cess ranging from 1% to 22% depending on the type of vehicle. SUVs attract the highest GST at the rate of 28% along with a compensation cess at 22%. Gadkari also asked the industry to focus on environment-friendly alternative fuels like ethanol. He also asked the industry to focus on green hydrogen.
