An additional 380,000 public service workers will be informed that they qualify to have their loans forgiven over the next 2 years. The Biden Administration has now forgiven $143.6 Billion in student loan debt for 4 million Americans since the Supreme Court struck down the original student loan forgiveness plan last year.

Currently America only manufactures 10% of the world's chips and none of the most advanced next generation of chips. The deal with Intel will open 4 factories across 4 states (Arizona, Ohio, New Mexico, and Oregon) and create 30,000 new jobs. The Administration hopes that by 2030 America will make 20% of the world's leading-edge chips.

The order will direct $200 million into women's health across the government including comprehensive studies of menopause health by the Department of Defense and new outreach by the Indian Health Service to better meet the needs of American Indian and Alaska Native Women.

Before working at SEIU she was a staff attorney at Planned Parenthood. Berner's name was listed by the liberal group Demand Justice as someone they'd like to see on the Supreme Court. Berner becomes one of just 5 LGBT federal appeals court judges, 3 appointed by Biden. The Senate also confirmed Edward Kiel and Eumi Lee to be district judges in New Jersey and Northern California respectively, bring the number of federal judges appointed by Biden to 188.

Investment Opportunities in Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland: How to Balance Your Portfolio with Auto Stocks

The automotive sector plays a significant role in the Indian economy, and investing in this sector can offer long-term growth potential. Two of the most prominent companies in this space are Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland, both known for their contributions to the commercial and passenger vehicle markets. Understanding how these companies' stocks perform can help investors balance their portfolios effectively. The Tata Motors stock price has seen consistent growth due to its expansion into electric vehicles (EVs) and its strong presence in the passenger vehicle segment, making it a key player in the Indian automotive industry.

On the other hand, the Ashok Leyland share price reflects its dominant position in the commercial vehicle sector, particularly in trucks and buses. As one of the largest manufacturers of heavy-duty vehicles, Ashok Leyland benefits from government infrastructure projects and increasing demand for transportation services. Both companies are integral to the Indian auto industry, but they operate in slightly different markets, providing a balanced investment opportunity for those looking to diversify within the sector.

Why Invest in Tata Motors?

Tata Motors, a leading Indian automaker, makes the Nexon EV and other passenger cars. The company has successfully entered the electric vehicle market, positioning itself as a sustainable transportation leader. This has raised Tata Motors' stock price and investor interest in recent years.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), its global subsidiary, gives the company a strong luxury vehicle presence. Tata Motors is poised for long-term growth with electric vehicle demand and technology advancements. This makes it a valuable addition to any automotive portfolio. Tata Motors' strong financials and EV innovation provide stability and stock value potential.

Why Invest in Ashok Leyland?

Truck and bus manufacturer Ashok Leyland is a major player in commercial vehicles. The company is strong in public transport and logistics. As India invests in infrastructure, commercial vehicle demand will rise, boosting Ashok Leyland's share price.

Ashok Leyland has also been adding electric buses to meet urban demand for cleaner transportation. Diversifying into electric mobility strengthens its commercial vehicle market position. Ashok Leyland offers investors a more stable and sector-focused investment, benefiting from government initiatives and the importance of logistics and transport in a growing economy.

Balancing Your Portfolio with Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland

With exposure to different automotive sectors, investing in Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland can balance a portfolio. Tata Motors' electric vehicle leadership and luxury car presence offer growth potential. Innovation and sustainability position it well for the future, making it appealing to long-term investors.

However, Ashok Leyland's commercial vehicle market dominance provides stability. Electric buses and large infrastructure projects generate steady returns for the company. Ashok Leyland is a safer auto investment, especially for those seeking lower volatility.

By investing in Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland stocks, investors can capitalise on electric vehicle growth while maintaining stability through commercial vehicle investments. This balance lets investors profit from automotive industry shifts without overexposing them to any single segment.

The Evolution and Growth of the Indian Bus Industry

The Indian bus industry plays a crucial role in the country's transportation system, serving millions of passengers daily. As one of the most affordable and accessible modes of transport, it connects rural areas to urban centers, facilitates intercity travel, and supports the logistics of public transport within cities. The significance of the Indian bus industry cannot be overstated, especially given India’s vast geography and diverse population. In this article, we will delve into the history, development, challenges, and future of the Indian bus industry.

A Brief History of the Indian Bus Industry

The Indian bus industry has a rich history, tracing back to the early 20th century when buses began to operate in major cities like Mumbai (then Bombay) and Kolkata (then Calcutta). Over time, as industrialization picked up, the demand for reliable public transport increased, leading to the expansion of the Indian bus industry across various states. State governments began setting up their own transportation corporations to manage and regulate

Current Status of the Indian Bus Industry

Today, the Indian bus industry comprises both public and private players, offering a wide variety of services. From city buses and long-distance coaches to luxury buses and mini-buses, the industry caters to a diverse set of travelers. State-run bus services continue to dominate the market, but private bus operators have also made significant inroads, particularly in the intercity and luxury bus segments.

Types of Buses in the Indian Bus Industry

The Indian bus industry includes a wide variety of bus types to cater to different needs. City buses: These buses operate within cities, connecting residential areas to business hubs, schools, hospitals, and shopping areas.

Intercity buses: Operating between cities and towns, these buses provide affordable travel options for those who prefer road travel. Intercity buses in the Indian bus industry range from basic non-AC buses to luxury sleeper coaches.

Luxury and tourist buses: The demand for luxury buses in the Indian bus industry has grown significantly in recent years. These buses cater to tourists and business travelers who prefer comfortable and premium services.

Key Players in the Indian Bus Industry

The Indian bus industry is characterized by a mix of government-operated and private companies. Some of the prominent players include:

State-run corporations: These include the likes of MSRTC, KSRTC (Karnataka), APSRTC (Andhra Pradesh), and TNSTC, among others. They operate an extensive network of buses that cater to both intra-state and inter-state travel needs.

Private bus operators: Many private bus operators have carved out a niche for themselves in the luxury and tourist bus segments. Companies like VRL Travels, SRS Travels, and RedBus have become household names, offering online booking services and comfortable travel experiences.

Challenges Faced by the Indian Bus Industry

Despite its growth, the Indian bus industry faces several challenges that need to be addressed to ensure its continued success. Some of these challenges include:

Traffic congestion: In cities, traffic congestion is a major issue that affects the efficiency of bus services. Long delays and unpredictable travel times can deter people from using buses.

Poor infrastructure: In many parts of India, the road infrastructure is inadequate, especially in rural areas. This affects the smooth operation of buses and limits the reach of the Indian bus industry.

Competition from other modes of transport: With the expansion of the Indian Railways and the rise of affordable air travel, the Indian bus industry faces stiff competition, particularly for long-distance travel.

Environmental concerns: The environmental impact of diesel-powered buses is a growing concern. While electric buses have been introduced in some cities, the transition to greener alternatives in the Indian bus industry has been slow.

Regulation and coordination: There is a need for better regulation and coordination between state-run and private bus operators to ensure consistent service standards across the country.

The Future of the Indian Bus Industry

The Indian bus industry is at a crossroads, where it can either continue with the status quo or embrace innovation to ensure future growth. There are several trends and developments that could shape the future of the Indian bus industry:

Electric buses: Several state governments have already launched pilot projects to introduce electric buses into their fleets. These eco-friendly alternatives can help reduce the carbon footprint of the Indian bus industry.

Smart ticketing and digitalization: As India embraces digitalization, the Indian bus industry is not far behind. Several bus operators have introduced online ticketing services, GPS tracking, and real-time updates to improve the passenger experience.

Private sector growth: The involvement of private companies is likely to increase in the coming years, especially in the luxury and long-distance travel segments. With better services, competitive pricing, and the use of technology, private operators could transform the Indian bus industry.

Government initiatives: The government has launched several initiatives to improve public transportation in India. The National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) and the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme are aimed at promoting the use of electric vehicles, including buses. These initiatives could provide the necessary boost for the modernization of the Indian bus industry.

Conclusion

The Indian bus industry is an integral part of the country’s transport ecosystem, providing affordable and accessible travel to millions of people. Despite facing challenges like infrastructure issues and environmental concerns, the industry is poised for growth, thanks to advancements in technology and increasing private sector participation. The future of the Indian bus industry lies in its ability to adapt to changing trends and embrace sustainable practices.

As India continues to develop, the Indian bus industry will remain a critical player in ensuring that people can move efficiently and affordably across the country.

Indian-Canadian businessman Ram Tumuluri fails to raise funds for India buses deal

The  Mumbai authority fears that  Ram Tumuluri may defraud his investors and business partners as Causis does not have a manufacturing or technical capabilities and his German partner, an alleged KGB / FSB agent has no track record in electrical vehicles.

A UK and European electrical vehicles partnership company is struggling to raise funds of around $8 billion to implement an Rs. 2,800-crore electric  buses deal with the  Mumbai authorities, Indian govt sources told a US publication.

The American Daily Post reported that Indian-Canadian businessman Sri  Ram Tumuluri’s England & Wales registered Causis Group Ltd won in October 2021 a tender for supplying The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) with 1,400 electric vehicles but nearly two years later the company is struggling to raise funds and the whole deal is under threat, according to Indian sources familiar with the backdoor discussions around the deal.

UK-based Causis is wholly owned by Tumuluri. Its operating entity is India-registered Causis E-Mobility Pvt Ltd. While on paper it is owned by its directors Marudur Subramanyam Chandrasekar and Ravi Kumar Panga, Causis E-Mobility is in reality controlled by Tumuluri, said the Post.

An Indian government source told The American Daily website: “Causis is using the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Maharashtra Government as a security but banks are demanding sovereign guarantee from the state government, which has not been approved by the government. Causis is struggling to arrange debt and their efforts are ongoing but it is evident Causis has so far failed to find any credible lenders. On paper, there are lots of promises but there is zero delivery so far.”

A source at Causis E-Mobility Pvt Ltd said that  Ram Tumuluri has personally invested in his new Electrical Vehicles (EV) venture Causis and is looking for funding but so far his efforts have not succeeded.

The  Mumbai authority fears that  Ram Tumuluri may defraud his investors and business partners as Causis does not have a manufacturing or technical capabilities and his German partner, an alleged KGB / FSB agent has no track record in electrical vehicles.

Ram Tumuluri lives often in UK’s Sunningdale area in Ascot in a six-bedroom detached house purchased by his wife Sonya Sarah Tumuluri on 25 February 2021 for £2,550,000 with a mortgage with West One Loan Limited, said the paper.

In 2021, Tumuluri entered the electric vehicle (“EV”) sector in the UK, India, and Germany using the brand Causis. Tumuluri is heavily involved in its fund-raising activities and is looking to raise $6-8 billion in India through Causis E-Mobility which was incorporated on 04 June 2021 in New Delhi, India, under company number U34102DL2021PTC381936. Its statutory Directors and Shareholders are Marudur Subramanyam Chandrasekar and Ravi Kumar Panga.

Causis executives told Indian news outlet The Economic Times that through its impact investment fund, the company is looking for an investment of $ 6-8 billion in India with 30% of it coming from equity funding and the rest through debt financing locally. They also said the company has already invested around Rs 300 crore in India towards the acquisition of a bus body manufacturer in  Jaipur and a 75-acre plot near Pune for its second plant.

Causis is using the MoU with Maharashtra Government as a security, but banks are demanding sovereign guarantees from the state government, which has not been approved by the government. This is the biggest obstacle Causis is facing, according to government insiders, the American Daily Post reported.

According to an article by Indian news outlet The Indian Express, Causis won a tender for supplying The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) with 1,400 electric  buses. In October 2021, the Maharashtra state government, in the presence of environment minister Aaditya Thackeray and industry minister Subhash Desai, signed the contract for Rs 2,800 crore ($370,000).

Aaditya’s father is Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, who is also the Chief of Shiv Sena, a regional political party. Subhash Desai is described as “the Thackeray family loyalist” by the Indian press.

Maltese news outlet The Shift News reported Tumuluri’s Electrical Vehicles venture in an article titled “Ram Tumuluri suspected of replicating ‘fraudulent’ Malta VGH model in Mumbai” – a reference to a big health scare scandal in Malta.

Indian authorities have said they have asked Causis to update with the progress but received no response in three months. The deal stands to be annulled if the funding proofs are not provided to the Indian authorities soon, the Post said.
