- Ajay Kapur, CEO - Aluminium and Power Business, Vedanta Aluminium believes there is ample scope for Indian OEMs and component makers to use aluminium.

- Chandigarh-based start-up EVage has created India’s first exoskeleton structure which will serve as an affordable common platform for EVs.
- Altair recognises the best lightweighting initiatives with its Enlighten Awards.
Strategy talk
- Steffen Knapp, Director of Volkswagen Passenger Cars India, details the 2.0 revival story in India on the back of the Taigun compact SUV.
- Even as the general market trend is biased heavily towards petrol, Hyundai is keen on a contrarian call by betting on diesel.
- Meanwhile Ashok Leyland is revving up its EV strategy.
