Tata Power Commissions Fast-Charging Station At Salem–Omalur Highway Junction

* New fast-charging facility strengthens EV access along key intercity routes in Tamil Nadu

Tata Power has commissioned a 60-kW DC fast-charging station at True Sai, an authorised Tata Motors showroom at the Salem–Omalur highway junction in Narasothipatti, expanding convenient EV charging access at a key transit point in Tamil Nadu.

Strategically located at the intersection of NH 44 and NH 544, the facility is well positioned to serve EV users travelling between Bengaluru, Coimbatore, Kerala, Tiruchirappalli and Madurai. Its highway-facing location allows travellers to charge their vehicles without making a significant detour into the city, making it a convenient stop for intercity and long-distance journeys.

Equipped with dual-gun CCS-2 connectors, the station supports a broad range of compatible passenger and light commercial EVs. Its location within an authorised Tata Motors dealership offers drivers a secure and accessible environment while charging, with the surrounding highway area providing access to essential travel amenities.

The new facility is part of Tata Power’s EZ Charge network, which has scaled to over 6,700 public and captive charging points, 2.5 lakh+ home EV chargers and 1,200+ e-bus charging points, with a footprint spanning 700+ cities and towns nationwide. The expansion reflects Tata Power’s continued efforts to improve charging accessibility and support the growing adoption of electric mobility across urban and intercity travel routes.

EV users can locate the station, check real-time availability, and initiate charging sessions through the Tata Power EZ Charge mobile app or RFID cards, enabling a seamless charging experience for travellers on the move.

* Flights, hotels, activities and transfers in one itinerary, with the flexibility to customize and a destination expert on standby

* Holiday Packages currently span across all popular destinations in India and international markets, with the selection set to grow

* Launch offerings include: Child Flies Free (Thailand, Bali and Kerala)* and Partner @ 50% (Thailand, Bali and Andaman)

Cleartrip, a Flipkart company and one of India’s leading online travel platforms, today announced its entry into the Holiday Packages category. This brings together flights, hotels, activities and transfers in a single, expert-curated itinerary that travellers can customise to suit their preferences.

The launch is part of Cleartrip’s broader growth strategy to evolve into a full-stack, multimodal travel platform, expanding beyond individual travel bookings to offer travellers a more connected way to plan and experience their journeys.

Most holiday packages hand you a plan and ask you to fit into it. Cleartrip Holiday Packages work the other way. Travellers start with an expert-curated itinerary and shape it around their own needs, swapping hotels, adjusting activities, changing flights, without losing the structure that makes a package worth booking in the first place.

Gaurav Patwari, Chief Business Officer - Air, said, “Holiday planning in India has always been an either-or: either you get a rigid package, or you spend hours building it yourself. We think there's a better way. Expert-built, traveller-controlled, and with someone available when you need them. That's what we've launched across all the popular destinations today, and it changes how Indian travellers will plan their next trip.”

The offering also brings human assistance into the holiday planning experience. Travellers can speak to an expert for guidance while planning their trip, helping them navigate destination choices, itineraries and the different elements that go into putting a holiday together. Once the trip is planned, travellers have access to a live itinerary with details such as driver information, vouchers and day plans, alongside 24×7 support during their journey.

Cleartrip's scale as one of India's leading travel platforms, and its position within the Flipkart Group, has enabled it to negotiate pricing and secure inventory with suppliers across flights, hotels and experience providers that individual travellers simply cannot access on their own, on top of an unmatched delivery experience. That value is passed on directly through Holiday Packages, in the price, curation, and flexibility built into every itinerary. And for travellers who still want that extra assurance, Cleartrip's Price Beat Offer* is simple: find the same itinerary cheaper elsewhere, and Cleartrip will beat it.

SKINN – House Of Titan Eyes ₹1,000 Crore Annual Revenue By FY30 As It Enters Its Next Phase Of Growth

* With Ayushmann Khurrana and Sobhita Dhulipala as brand ambassadors, the fragrance brand is strengthening its position in the category.

House of Titan, one of India’s leading fine fragrance brands, is charting its next phase of growth as it looks to strengthen its position in India’s rapidly evolving fragrance market. SKINN has an ambition of reaching ₹1,000 crore in annual revenue and 8 million customers by FY30, as it builds on the constantly evolving consumer behaviour and trends shaping the fragrance category in recent years.

The move comes at a time when India’s fragrance market is witnessing strong growth and evolving consumer behaviour. The Indian fragrance market is currently estimated at around ₹4,500 crore and is projected to reach approximately ₹7,000 crore by FY30, representing an expected growth of 13–15% over the next four years. The category is increasingly moving beyond traditional, occasion-led consumption, with fragrance becoming a part of everyday grooming, personal expression and lifestyle. Consumers are also becoming more discerning, exploring fragrance not only for how it smells, but also for how it makes them feel.

As SKINN Fragrances enters this next chapter, the brand is broadening its consumer proposition and strengthening its cultural relevance through its association with celebrated Bollywood actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Sobhita Dhulipala as brand ambassadors. The association marks a strategic step towards connecting SKINN with a new generation of consumers and making fragrance more relevant to everyday life and personal expression, rather than something reserved for special occasions.

Manish Gupta, CEO, Fragrances and Accessories Division, Titan Company Limited, said, “SKINN has been able to build strong momentum in the fragrance category, which is undergoing significant transformation, through its focus on product innovation. With a focus on launching new fragrances and enhancing consumer relevance, we see an opportunity to deepen SKINN’s relationship with consumers. Ayushmann and Sobhita, as brand ambassadors for SKINN, bring individuality, cultural relevance and an ability to connect with consumers in a contemporary way. Their association with the brand will help us in building an aspirational expression of the brand.”

At the heart of SKINN’s next phase is a dual focus on premiumisation and expanding the role of fragrance in everyday life. The brand’s expertise has always been rooted in launching fragrances created in collaboration with globally acclaimed perfumers and developing distinctive compositions for the Indian market. The association with Ayushmann Khurrana and Sobhita Dhulipala as brand ambassadors further supports this evolution, helping SKINN connect its expanding fragrance proposition with a new generation of consumers and reinforce fragrance as an expression of individuality, rather than something reserved for special occasions.

As SKINN scales its business, the brand is looking to strengthen its position as a key player in India’s fine fragrance market, combining global fragrance expertise with a deeper understanding of the Indian consumer and their evolving preferences. 

6,000+ Bengalureans Come Together Ahead Of World Heart Day To Support Surgery For 50 Underprivileged Children

Kauvery BEATS 2026 supports Kauvery Sankalpa 2.0, which aims to provide surgical care for 25 children with congenital heart conditions and 25 children requiring complex spine surgery

More than 6,000 Bengalureans’ came together in Electronic City this morning to run, walk and cycle as part of the sixth edition of Kauvery BEATS, the annual community heart-health initiative of Kauvery Hospitals, Bengaluru. held ahead of World Heart Day on September 29.

The 5 km event brought together children, families, working professionals, recreational runners, cyclists and fitness enthusiasts, with participants encouraged to move at their own pace rather than compete for timings. In one of the morning's most striking moments, participants came together to create a large human-heart formation, turning the gathering into a visual expression of collective responsibility towards heart health.

The event was flagged off in the presence of Dr B. Dinesh, Director and Professor of Cardiology, Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, and Sri Narayana M, IPS, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Electronic City Division, Bengaluru.

Speaking at the event, Dr B. Dinesh said “Physical activity remains fundamental to cardiovascular health, but prevention cannot begin only when symptoms appear. People should also know their blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol, understand their family history and seek medical advice when risk factors are present. Community initiatives such as this help make heart health part of everyday conversation.”

The 2026 edition of BEATS focused on consistency in heart-healthy behaviour, encouraging people to stay physically active while also paying greater attention to cardiovascular risk factors.

Dr Vivek G, Director, Institute of Cardiology, Kauvery Hospitals, Electronic City, said “What makes this initiative meaningful is that it goes beyond bringing people together for a morning of fitness. Through Kauvery Sankalpa 2.0, the community also has an opportunity to support children who need specialised surgery but may not have the means to access it. Bringing together 6,000-plus people for heart health, while creating awareness and support for 50 children in need of surgery, shows how collective community action can make a meaningful difference.”

Moving for a larger purpose

This year, Kauvery BEATS also carried a larger social-impact message through Kauvery Sankalpa 2.0, an initiative aimed at enabling surgical care for 50 children from economically disadvantaged families in Karnataka. The programme aims to support 25 children requiring surgery for congenital heart conditions and 25 children requiring complex spine surgery, subject to clinical and socioeconomic eligibility.

Participants and supporters at BEATS were given the opportunity to make voluntary contributions towards the congenital-heart-surgery initiative, allowing the World Heart Day campaign to connect the message of heart health with the need for access to specialised cardiac care.

Six years of a growing community movement

Kauvery BEATS began in 2021 with around 600 participants and has grown steadily over six editions, crossing 1,200 participants in 2022, 2,800 in 2023, 3,500 in 2024 and more than 5,000 in 2025. Last year's event similarly used mass participation and a human-heart formation to build awareness around cardiac health.

The 2026 campaign continues October 2 with Kauvery BEATS Circuit, a new functional-fitness format aimed at regular gym-goers, runners, cyclists and fitness enthusiasts. The format will combine short running intervals with functional exercises, extending the campaign's message from community participation to fitness and cardiovascular-risk awareness.
