HCBS Developments Limited has announced the appointment of Jindal Stainless as the stainless steel supply partner for its upcoming residential project, Twin Horizon, located in Sector 102, Gurugram. The collaboration comes at a critical stage of construction, as the project advances in a phased manner through key structural milestones with a focus on durability, precision, and long-term performance.

HCBS Developments partners with Jindal Stainless in pioneering use of ‘Jindal Infinity Stainless Steel Rebars’ for its project ‘Twin Horizon’ in Gurugram

As part of the construction process, HCBS Developments evaluated Rebars of various raw material for reinforcement in the critical diaphragm wall (D-wall) applications, post which HCBS has decided to go for ‘Jindal Infinity’ Stainless Steel Rebars. The stringent manufacturing process through which ‘Jindal Infinity’ Stainless Steel Rebars are produced make them particularly suited for high groundwater conditions due to their superior corrosion resistance and lifecycle performance. The developer has also used these Rebars for the raft foundation, becoming one of the prompt implementers of this application in high-rise residential construction.

By partnering with trusted and established manufacturers such as Jindal Stainless, the developer is ensuring that the project benefits from high-quality material and technical reliability, while also reflecting a progressive shift in how foundational structures are being constructed with longevity in consideration. This positions HCBS among the early adopters exploring stainless steel applications at this stage of development.

Spanning 5.2902 acres, Twin Horizon will comprise two high-rise towers with 268 residences, along with seven commercial spaces. The project is being designed by Morphogenesis, known for its contemporary and context-driven architectural approach, bringing together modern aesthetics with functional planning. Construction is being undertaken by Krishna Buildestates Private Limited (KBE), which has been engaged as the project’s construction partner, supporting on-ground execution and delivery timelines.

Commenting on the development, Saurab Saharan, Group Managing Director, HCBS Developments Limited, said, “At this stage of construction, the quality and reliability of core materials become absolutely critical. Steel, in particular, plays a defining role in how a structure performs over time. Bringing JSL on board is a considered decision, driven by our focus on building with consistency and ensuring that there are no compromises at the foundational level. With work progressing steadily on site, we are focused on maintaining this pace while keeping quality firmly in check.”

Tarun Khulbe, CEO, Jindal Stainless, added, “The increasing adoption of stainless steel rebars in critical structural applications reflects a broader shift in the construction sector towards materials that offer higher durability, lower maintenance, and stronger lifecycle value. Projects such as this demonstrate how developers are beginning to integrate long-term structural performance into foundational and eventually into the full building design decisions. We are pleased to partner with HCBS Developments Limited in this journey and extend both material strength and application expertise to the project.”

On the construction front, the project is witnessing steady progress. Excavation and diaphragm wall (D-Wall) work for Tower West has been completed, while the same is currently in progress for Tower East, indicating a calibrated pace of execution as the development moves into its next stages.

Catch Salt and Spices, a popular brand of Dharampal Satyapal Group (DS Group), a leading FMCG conglomerate and multi business corporation, has announced the expansion of its Sprinkler portfolio with the launch of new-age seasonings and regionally inspired flavours. Marking a key step in evolving a legacy range that has long been synonymous with salt and pepper in Indian households, the expanded Catch Sprinkler range includes contemporary variants such as pizza pasta seasoning, chilli flakes, oregano, magic masala and mixed herbs along with regional offerings like Jeeravan (Poha Masala) and Podi Masala. With this move, the company is extending the sprinkler format into a wider seasoning platform designed for today’s increasingly experimental and convenience-seeking consumer pan India.
 

DS Group Expands its Catch Sprinkler Portfolio
 

The expanded Catch Sprinkler range is now available across general trade, modern retail and leading e-commerce and quick commerce platforms. The Sprinklers are available in unique HIPS containers that keep the salt/seasoning moisture-free, and the easy dispensing technique ensures a free flow of the seasoning on to the dishes. The bottles are easy to store and easy to use as table top dispensers. Catch is ambitiously strategizing to dominate the Indian Kitchen space with differentiated products that bring purity, taste and convenience as key drivers. The brand is making substantial investments in brand building (marketing), technology, innovation and R&D which will help the brand evolve to the needs of the consumer.

Speaking on the expansion, Mr Sandeep Ghosh, Business Head, Catch Salt & Spices, DS Group said, “At DS Group, we continuously track the evolving consumer behaviour to deliver products that combine convenience, quality and flavour innovation across major cities extending upto tier 3 markets. The expansion of the Catch Sprinkler range is a step towards building a more contemporary and versatile seasoning portfolio that blends national trends with strong regional relevance. As demand grows, DS Group is focused on scaling accessible formats that enhance everyday cooking experiences, strengthening Catch Salt & Spices’ market leadership across India and reinforcing DS Group’s focus on premium, value-added offerings.”

India’s food consumption landscape is witnessing a clear shift toward hygienic, packaged solutions and convenient formats. At the same time, consumers across metros as well as Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets are increasingly experimenting with global cuisines while also embracing the regional flavours. The premiumisation trend in the category has further strengthened the growing demand for high-quality, easy-to-use food enhancers, positioning the Catch Sprinkler range as a relevant and scalable solution in the evolving market.

The Catch brand was introduced by DS Group in 1987 with the launch of a revolutionary table-top Salt sprinkler and the brand has since grown to encapsulate the very essence of cooking which ranges from straight spices to myriad blends and pastes and wholes; across nine categories with more than 140 variants and 330 SKUs. Today Catch products are available in more than 7 lakh retail touchpoints through more than 1500 distributors nationwide. With the changing consumer buying behaviour, Catch Spices has thoroughly studied and capitalized on the evolving trends in modern trade, e-commerce including quick commerce to its advantage. Leveraging these platforms, the company has demonstrated exceptional growth, outperforming industry standards.

With a prominent brand ambassador such as Akshay Kumar, the brand has garnered widespread acclaim for its campaign “Kyunki Khana Sirf Khana Nahi Hota.” This positioning of “Khana Sirf Khana Nahi Hota” highlights the thought that food encompasses many emotions – memories, bonds, tradition, and values, bringing the brand closer to a consumer’s daily life – beyond merely functional to an emotional connection. Leveraging the trends in the market, Catch Spices has increased its focus on digital marketing to cater to its consumers. The brand has also forged successful partnerships and initiatives to enhance market penetration, including co-promotion initiatives with consumer brands and trade loyalty programs.

At a time when retail is steadily moving beyond the predictable, Group 108 marked a commanding presence at the Phygital Retail Convention 2026, held on May 13–14 at the Jio Convention Center, Mumbai. The participation emerged as a layered reflection of the group’s larger retail philosophy, anchored through its flagship developments – ONE FNG and Grandthum.

Group 108 showcases the future of experience-led retail at PRC 2026 through ONE FNG and Grandthum

As one of the country’s most influential retail platforms, PRC served as a convergence point for prominent retailers, franchise networks, developers, and consumer brands engaging in conversations around the future trajectory of physical and phygital commerce. The two-day convention brought together more than 3,000 attendees representing over 1,000 brands, alongside celebrated retail leaders, global brands, technology innovators, and industry experts. With over 30 conference sessions and an expansive exhibition extending across 100,000+ sq. ft., the event highlighted advancements across retail technology, retail design, commercial real estate, and customer experience solutions. Against this backdrop, Group 108’s showcase aligned strongly with the convention’s larger discourse around experience-led retail environments and evolving consumer engagement.

Rather than positioning retail as a static proposition, Group 108 presented a more progressive perspective where spatial planning, movement dynamics, and consumer behaviour converge to create enduring engagement. The discussions emerging during the convention reflected this transition, shifting distinctly beyond transactional thinking toward environments that actively influence how brands are perceived and experienced.

At the center of attention stood Grandthum, envisioned as a high-energy commercial destination rather than a conventional retail address. Its expansive high-street format, uninterrupted frontages, and fluid pedestrian movement were highlighted as defining elements capable of transforming footfall into meaningful consumer interaction.

Alongside this, ONE FNG introduced a distinct yet equally compelling narrative. The development showcased a retail ecosystem shaped around sustained engagement, premium audiences, and continuous consumer circulation, strengthening both visibility and long-term brand value.

Across the two-day engagement, Group 108’s presence evolved into a focal point for strategic industry conversations, attracting retailers, franchise operators, and expansion leaders evaluating the next evolution of physical retail.

Sharing his perspective, Sanchit Bhutani, Managing Director, Group 108, said, “Retail is no longer defined by location alone; it is shaped by the experience it delivers. What we are building at Grandthum and ONE FNG is not just retail space, but environments that encourage engagement, strengthen brand presence, and create long-term value. PRC has been an important platform to engage with brands that share this forward-looking outlook.”

Group 108’s participation at PRC 2026 underscores a clear direction toward creating immersive retail environments aligned with evolving consumer and brand expectations.

Cars24 has announced that its recently launched all-women automotive hub in Saket, Delhi NCR, has emerged as the top-performing hub across the company’s Delhi NCR network within its very first month of operations.

Cars24’s first all-women automotive hub in Saket, Delhi NCR, has delivered a strong debut performance, prompting the company to expand the women-led hub model to Mumbai and Bengaluru

Launched at DLF South Court, Saket, the initiative was designed as a full-scale operational pilot where every role across the hub, including Car Advisors, Operations Managers and Hub Leadership, is led entirely by women. The hub operates under the same targets, performance benchmarks and accountability standards as every other Cars24 hub across the country.

Within the first month, the Saket hub recorded the highest overall performance in the Delhi NCR region, selling over 100 cars with a financing penetration of 55%.

Commenting on the development, Vikram Chopra said, “For decades, the automotive industry has largely been built and operated by men. This initiative was our attempt to challenge that norm through action, not conversation. What the Saket hub has proven is that capability was never the barrier. Opportunity was.”

The company said the experiment was aimed at understanding how customer interactions and dealership dynamics evolve when women lead the entire automotive retail experience, from sales and financing to delivery and operations.

According to Cars24, the results reflected a noticeable shift in customer engagement, trust and overall buying experience.

“The women in this hub were not selected to fulfil a quota. They were chosen because they were fully capable of running high-performance operations. The only thing we changed was ensuring they were no longer the exception on the floor, but the norm,” Chopra added.

The company also highlighted that the initiative received strong internal backing from male leaders and teams across the organisation, who played a key role in identifying the representation gap and building the model.

Cars24 currently employs over 6,800 people, of which 951 are women. The company says the Saket pilot is part of a larger long-term effort to improve women’s participation and leadership across automotive retail and operations.

Following the success of the Delhi NCR hub, Cars24 confirmed plans to expand the women-led hub model to Mumbai and Bengaluru. The company is also exploring the inclusion of women mechanics and service professionals as part of future expansion plans.

“The real success will be when women leading automotive hubs is no longer considered groundbreaking but business as usual,” Chopra said.

Cars24 has invited women interested in building careers in automotive retail and operations to reach out via women@cars24.com.

• The 30,000 sq. ft. facility brings together 34 beds, including 12 NICU beds, to offer integrated, life-stage care for women under one roof.

• With 10 dedicated life-stage clinics, 3 modular OTs and 3 labour delivery suites, TWH is designed to support women from menarche to menopause and beyond.

• The hospital offers 16 key specialities across preventive care, diagnostics, treatment, NICU care, holistic wellness, aesthetics and long-term health support.

• Designed with a Zero Indoor AQI environment, advanced air purification systems, continuous monitoring, infection-control protocols, privacy-led layouts and calming interiors, TWH brings patient-first details into every part of care.
   

The Women’s Hospital, city’s first multispeciality hospital dedicated exclusively to women, is now open at R-1, Nehru Enclave, Outer Ring Road, New Delhi. Founded by Ms. Anika Parashar and her founding team, the hospital has been established with an investment by The Select Group, and other investors, with The Select Group being the principal investor. The Women’s Hospital (TWH) has been created to address one of the biggest gaps in Indian healthcare: the absence of one trusted, judgment-free, multispeciality space that understands women’s health as a lifelong journey.

Key dignitaries at the launch of The Women’s Hospital (TWH) in Nehru Enclave, New Delhi
 

The launch was graced by Chief Guests Mrs. Jyotsana Sharma, Mrs. Saroj Singh and Mrs. Mala Baijal. Spread across 30,000 sq. ft., this state-of-the-art facility brings together clinical care, preventive health, diagnostics, holistic wellness, aesthetics and life-stage clinics under one roof. The hospital has been designed for girls and women across every phase of life, from a teenager trying to understand her first period, to a woman navigating PCOD, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, menopause, cancer screening, metabolic health, ageing, emotional wellbeing or cosmetic care.
 

The need for such a model is urgent because women’s healthcare in India can no longer be viewed through one or two touchpoints alone. With approximately 355 million menstruating women, around 23 million girls dropping out of school due to lack of menstrual hygiene, nearly 60,000 cervical cancer deaths reported annually, 25% of Indian women estimated to be affected by PCOD/PCOS, and 1 in 6 Indian couples affected by infertility, the gaps are visible across every life stage. These are not isolated concerns. They point to the need for dedicated clinics that can support women through all stages.
 

TWH addresses these concerns and aims to move women’s healthcare beyond delayed, episodic and fragmented treatment. Its model is rooted in care from menarche to menopause and beyond, with dedicated clinics for Menarche & Adolescence; Reproductive Years & Fertility; Pregnancy, Birth & Newborn Care; Early Motherhood & Postpartum; Midlife & Menopause; Chronic & Metabolic Health; Cancer Screening, Treatment & Survivorship; Cosmetic and Aesthetic Care; Care for Golden Women; and Mental Health, Nutrition & Functional Medicine.
 

Speaking on the launch, Anika Parashar, Founder & CEO, The Women’s Hospital, said, “TWH comes from a gap I have seen in over 25 years of working closely with women, families, doctors and healthcare teams. Women are often expected to care for everyone else, but when it comes to their own health, they are left to navigate fragmented systems, repeat their stories, delay care, or feel unheard. TWH has been built to change that. We want to create a healthcare home where a girl, a mother, a working woman, a woman in menopause, or an elderly woman can access specialised, preventive and holistic care without judgment. Every detail, from our clinical blueprint and life-stage clinics to the doctors, privacy, air quality and patient experience, has been designed to make women feel safer, supported and more in control of their health.”
 

Mr. Arjun Sharma, Chairman, The Select Group, shared, “Throughout our journey in hospitality and retail, we have always believed that the businesses that endure are those that genuinely serve people at their most human moments. The Women’s Hospital is our most purposeful investment to date – not just because of the scale of the unmet need, but because of the vision Anika and her team have brought to addressing it. India has world-class hospitals, but very few spaces that truly centre the woman as a whole person across her entire life. TWH does exactly that, and I am delighted to back it.”
 

The leadership team includes Ms. Anika Parashar, Founder & CEO, Mr. Gaurav Singh, Chief Operating Officer; Mr. Veneet Garg, Chief Financial Officer; Mr. Harjeet Singh, Head – Chief Administration and Projects Officer; and Ms. Shruti Saxena, Chief Experience and People Officer.
 

The hospital brings together a distinguished clinical team, including Dr. Raghuram Mallaiah, Executive Director – Neonatology; Dr. Anjila Aneja, Executive Director – Obstetrics, Gynaecology, Minimal Access and Robotic Surgery; Dr. Neena Bahl, Executive Director – Obstetrics, Gynaecology, Minimal Access and Robotic Surgery; Dr. Vijay Murthy, Executive Director – Functional Medicine; Dr. Karishma Thariani, Director – Urogynecology; Dr. Debashish Chaudhary, Director – Oncology; Dr. Surakshith TK, Director – Gastroenterology; and Dr. Gaurika Sahi, Director – Radiology.
 

The hospital’s clinical offering spans gynecology, obstetrics, neonatology and milk bank, urogynecology, IVF and reproductive medicine, mental health and counselling, breast surgery and oncology, functional medicine, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, general surgery, gastroenterology, endocrinology, internal medicine with a women-focused approach, dermatology and aesthetics, nutrition and dietetics, and physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
 

With 34 total beds, including 12 NICU beds, TWH is equipped with 3 modular operation theatres, 3 labour delivery suites, 1 recovery room and 1 emergency bed. The hospital has also been built with deeply intentional patient-first details, including a Zero Indoor AQI environment supported by advanced air purification systems and continuous monitoring, infection-control protocols, privacy-led layouts, calming interiors and premium patient rooms.
 

TWH also brings advanced technology and care-led innovation into its clinical infrastructure, including robotic-assisted surgery, next-generation operating theatres, India’s first Korean-designed operating suite, advanced fetal medicine and high-resolution prenatal imaging, the 1788 laparoscopic platform, premium Hillrom LDR beds and India’s first fully integrated NICU powered by the GE satellite monitoring system.
 

Nutrition has also been designed as part of clinical care, with hospital menus created by clinical nutritionist Dr. Lovneet Batra and curated in collaboration with chefs. The kitchen philosophy includes therapeutic meal plans tailored to pregnancy, recovery and metabolic health, no Teflon cookware, no palm oil in food preparation and organic ingredient options wherever possible.
 

Every detail, from the clinical blueprint to the way a woman enters, waits, consults, recovers and follows up, has been designed to make care feel safer, warmer and more human.
 

Located close to Greater Kailash, Kalkaji, Saket, Panchsheel Park, Defence Colony, Swami Nagar and Hauz Khas, The Women’s Hospital aims to become a trusted healthcare home for women and families, not only in moments of illness, but through awareness, prevention, treatment, recovery and lifelong wellbeing.

For many Indian consumers, electric vehicles are increasingly becoming a practical solution that combines lower running costs, quieter urban mobility, improved driving comfort and long-term sustainability.

VinFast is also supporting EV adoption in India through a wide range of ownership incentives

The momentum for EVs in India is getting stronger as more and more buyers are embracing electric vehicles. India’s EV market surged in 2025, with E4W sales rising 86% year over year to more than 187,000 units. Momentum has continued into 2026: Electric passenger vehicle sales jumped 75.14% in April to 23,506 units, up from 13,421 a year earlier, according to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations.

There are several reasons that could explain this surge.

Cleaner air for Indian cities

Air pollution remains one of the most pressing public health challenges in India. Cities such as Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru frequently record unhealthy AQI levels, especially during peak traffic hours and winter months. The health impact is significant. According to the World Health Organization, air pollution is associated with around 7 million premature deaths annually worldwide.

As a result, the transition to electric mobility is increasingly viewed as part of the solution. Unlike internal combustion engine vehicles, EVs produce no tailpipe emissions, helping reduce pollutants such as CO2, nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide that are linked to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

Beyond exhaust emissions, EVs can also help reduce brake particulate pollution thanks to regenerative braking systems. Research and policy discussions published by the OECD highlight that regenerative braking significantly lowers brake wear emissions.

For Indian consumers increasingly concerned about urban air quality, this shift has become more than just an environmental issue. It is increasingly tied to daily health and quality of life.

Reducing urban noise pollution

Traffic noise is another growing concern in major Indian cities. Constant exposure to engine noise, honking and congested roads has been linked to stress, sleep disorders and cardiovascular risks.

Electric vehicles operate with significantly less powertrain noise at low speeds compared with gasoline or diesel vehicles. One experiment found that EVs can produce 4-5 dB lower noise levels in urban driving conditions, especially below 30 km/h.

The difference becomes especially noticeable in dense residential areas, school zones and urban streets where stop-and-go traffic dominates.

Lower running and maintenance costs

For many Indian households, economics remain one of the biggest drivers behind EV adoption.

Charging an electric vehicle in India typically costs far less than refueling with petrol or diesel. EVs also eliminate several routine maintenance items associated with ICE vehicles, including engine oil, spark plugs and exhaust system servicing. For VinFast customers in India, the savings can become even more significant thanks to the company’s free charging programme at V-GREEN charging stations until March 31, 2029.

This long-term durability advantage is increasingly supported by research. A study presented at the ICMPT 2026 international conference by researchers from Hanoi University of Science and Technology found that EVs tend to show lower long-term mechanical wear than ICE vehicles thanks to their simpler drivetrain architecture. The research analyzed theoretical reliability models alongside maintenance data from nearly 5,700 vehicles.

The same study referenced analysis of more than 300 million vehicle inspection records in the UK, showing that newer generation EVs could achieve an average lifespan of up to 18.4 years.

Encouraging healthier travel habits

EV ownership can also subtly encourage healthier routines. Fast charging stops often create short breaks during longer journeys, giving drivers opportunities to stretch, walk around and reduce fatigue associated with prolonged sitting.

Rahul, a VinFast VF 6 owner in Bengaluru, said: “Earlier, I would drive for hours without stopping during family trips. Now, while charging, we naturally take short breaks for coffee or a quick walk. Surprisingly, everyone feels less tired by the end of the journey.”

Supporting greener communities

The growth of EV adoption is also influencing how cities and infrastructure evolve. Across India, governments and private players are accelerating investments in charging infrastructure, renewable energy integration and cleaner public transport systems.

VinFast is among the companies contributing to this shift. In India, the company is building a broader EV ecosystem that includes manufacturing, dealerships, charging partnerships, after-sales services and financing solutions. The company’s Thoothukudi plant in Tamil Nadu is positioned as a key production hub for the region.

The company currently offers the VF 6 and VF 7 electric SUVs in India. Both models have earned strong safety credentials, including 5-star Bharat NCAP ratings, while also boasting multiple advanced features. They have already gained strong recognition in the Indian market, including the “EV SUV of the Year – Editor’s Choice” award for the VF 7 at the BBC TopGear India Awards 2026, and “Value for Money Car of the Year” for the VF 6 at the Autocar India Awards 2026.

The momentum is now extending into the MPV segment with the recently introduced VF MPV 7. Designed specifically around family comfort and long-distance practicality, the premium electric MPV offers a spacious three-row cabin, a 517 km MIDC-certified range, fast charging capability and connected smart features.

VinFast is also supporting EV adoption in India through a wide range of ownership incentives. The company currently offers free charging at V-GREEN charging stations until March 31, 2029, along with 3 years of free maintenance, a 10-year battery warranty, a 7-year vehicle warranty, a 5-year suspension warranty, a 7-year paint warranty, and 7 years of roadside assistance, creating what the company describes as a best-in-segment assurance package for customers. VinFast is also offering up to 75% assured buyback value for its electric MPV.

About VinFast

VinFast (NASDAQ: VFS), a subsidiary of Vingroup JSC, one of Vietnam’s largest conglomerates, is a pure-play electric vehicle manufacturer with the mission of making EVs accessible to everyone.
