</div></div><div>MoEFCC Minister Bhupender Yadav inaugurates 25th World Sustainable Development Summit; Him-CONNECT and WSDS Archival Pocketbook launched at TerraZone</div><div><br></div><div>Mumbai: The Silver Jubilee edition of the World Sustainable Development Summit (WSDS) 2026, the annual flagship platform of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), commenced today at the Taj Palace, bringing together global leaders, policymakers, industry captains, researchers, and civil society to advance the agenda of transformative climate and development action.</div><div><br></div><div>Held under the umbrella theme “Transformations: Vision, Voices and Values for Sustainable Development”, the 25th edition of WSDS marks a significant milestone in the Summit’s legacy as the only independently convened international platform on sustainable development based in the Global South.</div><div>Delivering the Welcome Address, Nitin Desai, Chairman, TERI, said, “Today, the world is completely different. Our challenge is not awareness. Our challenge is action. The whole transition of the World Sustainable Development Summit has been away from just talking about awareness, to better understanding of what needs to be done to promote sustainability. We have a very serious problem of actual implementation.”</div><div><br></div><div>Dr Vibha Dhawan, Director General, TERI, in her Theme Address, highlighted, “Over 25 editions, WSDS has evolved into the only independently convened platform shaping discourse on climate change and sustainable development for the global south. We have done enough of talk show in what we require today’s action both at India’s level and at global level.”</div><div><br></div><div>Before signing off, Dr Dhawan read out a Special Message shared by Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India. One of the pertinent remarks shared, “Our approach is guided by Antyodaya, the rise of even the most disempowered. Climate action must first protect the vulnerable, the poor, and the disadvantaged. The Global South bears a disproportionate burden of climate change. Yet for them, development is imperative. Climate justice is therefore essential. Developing nations must eradicate poverty and hunger, while safeguarding the planet. This requires technology transfer, financing options and partnerships. Developed countries bear a special responsibility to move faster, live sustainably, and deliver finance and technology at scale. Let this conference strengthen resolve, deepen cooperation and secure a sustainable future for our planet. I extend my best wishes for productive and forward-looking deliberations at the Silver Jubilee edition of WSDS.”</div><div><br></div><div>In the Special Address, Siddharth Sharma, CEO, Tata Trusts, underscored, “This is a time for action, it’s important that we democratize the language of climate change, it is not something which has to be restricted to conferences, to drawing room discussions, to boardrooms, it has to go to the masses, they have to understand how it impacts them and then we have to work on solutions which are rooted in the local context with equal emphasis given to adaptation as we give to mitigation.”</div><div><br></div><div>Ministerial Inaugural: A Call for Vision-Led Climate Leadership</div><div>The Summit was formally inaugurated by Bhupender Yadav, Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India. In his Keynote Address, the Minister underscored India’s commitment to climate ambition anchored in equity, resilience, and sustainable growth. On how WSDS has grown into a unique forum from the Global South that brings together governments, industry, academia, civil society, and communities to translate the science of sustainability into policy, partnerships, and practical action, Shri Yadav said, “Today is not merely a celebration of legacy, it is a defining moment for humanity and for the planet. The umbrella theme of this Summit — Transformations: Vision, Voices, and Values for Sustainable Development — is a strategic necessity. But leadership demands resolve and vision. The Theory of Change highlighted in the Summit — Constructivism, Learning, Transformation — reminds us that norms evolve through dialogue. But the next 25 years must be about execution. We must move: From pledges to performance. From targets to trajectories. From ambition to accountability. Let this be remembered as the Summit where: Vision became actionable. Voices became inclusive. Values became institutional. Let परिवर्तन not remain a theme. Let it become a global movement.”</div><div><br></div><div>In the Inaugural Address, H.E. Dr Bharrat Jagdeo, Vice President, Cooperative Republic of Guyana remarked, “When this Summit began twenty-five years ago, the focus was on raising awareness of climate and sustainability issues. Today, the challenge is no longer awareness, but resolute action and higher ambition to meet our goals. With major economies stepping back, achieving climate targets, especially in carbon pricing, multilateral regimes, and sectors like aviation and shipping, becomes far more difficult. Yet strong national leadership can drive progress. In Guyana, our 2009 Low Carbon Development Strategy has proven that standing forests provide high-quality, cost-effective mitigation. We have sold forest carbon credits worth hundreds of millions into voluntary and compliance markets, even as we responsibly develop oil resources, showing that sustainability delivers real economic value”.</div><div><br></div><div>Launch of HIM-CONNECT and WSDS Silver Jubilee Archival Pocketbook</div><div>A major highlight of the inaugural day was the launch of Him-CONNECT– An Innovation Mela from and on the Himalayas, an initiative of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC). The platform aims to connect technologies developed for the Himalayan region under the National Mission for Himalayan Studies with start-ups, entrepreneurs, and investors to accelerate sustainable mountain development. </div><div><br></div><div>The launch signals a renewed policy thrust on safeguarding fragile mountain ecosystems while fostering green livelihoods and innovation-led growth across the Indian Himalayan Region.</div><div><br></div><div>TERI unveiled the WSDS Silver Jubilee Commemorative publication titled: World Sustainable Development Summit (2001–2026): 25 Editions of Driving Ambition and Action on Sustainable Development – An Archival Pocketbook. The publication chronicles 25 years of global dialogue, leadership, and partnerships shaped through WSDS, documenting its journey of convening Heads of State, Ministers, Nobel Laureates, business leaders, and change-makers from across the world. About the Silver Jubilee Archival Pocketbook, Dr Shailly Kedia, Curator, World Sustainable Development Summit, said, “The archival book documents the 25 editions of our collective journey. It traces the Summit’s evolution f…</div>

This campaign blends sharp cultural insight with innovative marketing to reinforce our leadership while shaping the future of the category.” Abhishek Jugran, Executive Vice President, Marketing, Dabur India Ltd.</div><div><br></div><div>"We see skincare as a powerful tool for self-expression and a core pillar of self-love.

Virat Khanna, Head of Skin Care, Dabur India Ltd.said</div><div><br></div><div>“Our objective was to create culturally resonant content that sparks conversation.

</div><br></div><div>Integrated trade fairs bring global logistics decision-makers together to advance India’s supply chain competitiveness</div><div><br></div><div>Mumbai: The 11th edition of air cargo India opened today alongside the inaugural edition of transport logistic India 2026 at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai, reinforcing its position as a focused B2B marketplace for the air cargo and multimodal logistics industry. AB de Villiers has been announced as the Brand Ambassador for transport logistic India 2026. Known for his discipline, adaptability and high-performance mindset, his association reinforces the event’s focus on operational excellence, precision and execution — qualities that define both elite sport and world-class logistics.</div><div><br></div><div>Organised by Messe Muenchen India, the co-located trade fairs are designed exclusively for business engagement — connecting airlines, airport operators, freight forwarders, shipping lines, rail operators, logistics park developers, cold chain specialists and supply chain technology providers with buyers, partners and policymakers.</div><div><br></div><div>The launch of transport logistic India alongside the established air cargo India brand signals a deliberate shift toward integrated logistics thinking. Air freight, surface transport and warehousing are increasingly interdependent, particularly for sectors such as pharmaceuticals, automotive components, engineering goods, electronics and perishables.</div><div>This year’s combined platform features over 230 brands from more than 38 countries. The exhibition floor reflects the full value chain of cargo and transport logistics, from aircraft capacity and ground handling to warehousing infrastructure, automation systems and digital documentation solutions.</div><div>The German Pavilion is presenting a strong mix of logistics and technology companies, underlining Germany’s established capabilities in engineering and supply chain systems. Alongside it, the AITWA Pavilion, led by the All India Transporter’s Welfare Association, brings India’s road transport community into sharp focus, reinforcing its central role in both domestic and cross-border trade.</div><div><br></div><div>Furthermore, the Future Tech Pavilion, powered by SmartKargo, adds a forward-looking layer, centred on digital cargo management, automation and real-time visibility. Organisers have also elevated bulk liquid logistics onto the main agenda, recognising its critical importance to chemicals, energy and process industries.</div><div><br></div><div>In parallel, the conference program is framing the wider industry conversation featuring 123 industry leaders. transport logistic India is examining “Powering Vision 2030 with Logistics Performance Excellence,” while air cargo India is addressing “Global Air Cargo – Booming but Bumpy,” unpacking growth and volatility in international markets.</div><div><br></div><div>Pradyumn Kumar Tripathi, Commissioner General – Mumbai Customs Zone-I, Ministry of Finance, Government of India, stated “India’s trade growth depends on how efficiently we move goods across borders. Our focus is clear — faster clearances, smarter systems and close coordination with industry. Platforms like air cargo India and transport logistic India help us listen, align and improve together.”</div><div><br></div><div>Christoph Rendtorff, Deputy Consul General, Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany, said, “Germany and India share a strong partnership in engineering, manufacturing and logistics innovation. The presence of the German Pavilion at this platform reflects the depth of that cooperation. Integrated logistics solutions, automation and sustainable transport systems are areas where Indo-German collaboration can deliver tangible results. Events like air cargo India and transport logistic India enable companies from both countries to build practical, long-term partnerships.”</div><div><br></div><div>Ashok Goyal, National President, All India Transporters’ Welfare Association (AITWA) mentioned, “Road transport remains the backbone of India’s supply chain, connecting ports, airports, industrial clusters and consumption centres. As trade volumes grow, integration between air cargo, surface transport and warehousing becomes critical. The participation of AITWA at this platform highlights the importance of unified logistics planning. When transporters, freight forwarders, airlines and policymakers sit together, we move closer to reducing transit time, improving reliability and lowering overall logistics costs for Indian industry. Today at the event, AITWA delegation has committed to creating driver dedicated facilities in 5 zones covering medical support, safety training, healthy food and other benefits. An investment of approx Rs 75 crores is expected to be spent on this in the next 3 years.”</div><div><br></div><div>Bhupinder Singh, President – IMEA, Messe München & CEO of Messe Muenchen India, highlighted the strategic intent behind the platform. “This is a focused B2B marketplace,” he said. “Participants arrive with clear objectives — expanding route networks, securing infrastructure partnerships, onboarding technology solutions, or strengthening regional trade corridors. The discussions here are purposeful and commercially relevant. The real value lies in the quality of engagement and the ability to turn meaningful handshakes into tangible business outcomes.”</div><div><br></div><div>With India working to reduce logistics costs and improve global trade integration, platforms such as air cargo India and transport logistic India serve as structured B2B environments where operational challenges meet practical solutions.</div><div><br></div><div>The trade fairs will continue in Mumbai until 26 February 2026, facilitating targeted business meetings and industry dialogue across the logistics ecosystem.</div>

</div><br></div><div>·   Crosses 6 lakh sales milestone, reflecting sustained customer trust and strong market acceptance since launch</div><div><br></div><div>·  29% contribution from top variants underscores growing preference for premium features and advanced safety technologies</div><div><br></div><div>·  Redefined mid-SUV segment with bold design, multiple powertrains and segment-first features</div><div><br></div><div>·   Spacious, practical and safety-focused, Seltos continues to resonate strongly with modern Indian families</div><div><br></div><div>·   New Seltos strengthens this proposition further, accelerating Kia India’s next growth chapter with refreshed design and enhanced features</div><div><br></div><div>Mumbai: Kia India, one of country’s leading mass-premium automaker, announced that the Seltos has crossed 6 lakh cumulative sales in India since its launch in 2019. The milestone reflects sustained customer acceptance across variants and markets, establishing the model as one of the most consistent performers in the mid-SUV segment.</div><div><br></div><div>From the outset, Seltos entered the market with a clear product proposition. It combined a distinctive global design, multiple powertrain options including petrol and diesel choices, automatic transmissions across fuel types, and a feature-rich cabin that offered large-format infotainment, connected car technology and premium interior finishes. At a time when the segment largely prioritised utility, Seltos introduced a stronger focus on in-cabin experience, technology integration and visual presence.</div><div><br></div><div>Safety and technology played a central role in driving acceptance. Over successive updates, the model expanded its offering to include advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), enhanced connectivity solutions and a broader safety package. The continued 29% contribution from top trims indicates that customers are increasingly opting for higher levels of safety, comfort and digital integration, while sustained demand across entry and mid variants reflects the model’s balanced value proposition.</div><div><br></div><div>Seltos also broadened expectations within its price band by offering features typically associated with higher segments. This allowed buyers upgrading from hatchbacks, sedans and compact SUVs to access a more premium ownership experience without moving into a larger category. Its wide variant mix ensured relevance for both value-focused and feature-focused customers.</div><div><br></div><div>Commenting on the milestone, Sunhack Park, Chief Sales Officer, Kia India, said, “Crossing 6 lakh sales reflects sustained customer preference for a product that delivers strong fundamentals in design, safety, technology and performance. Seltos expanded expectations in the mid-SUV segment by offering features and configurations that were not widely available at the time of its launch. The consistent uptake across variants, including strong demand for top trims, indicates growing customer confidence in advanced safety systems and connected technologies.”</div><div><br></div><div>The new-generation Seltos builds on this strong legacy and widespread customer trust, while advancing Kia’s core product pillars of bigger presence, bolder design and progressive safety & technology. With segment-leading length at 4,460mm and enhanced width at 1,830 mm, along with a longer wheelbase at 2,690 mm, it offers unmatched interior space and a road presence. The new Seltos offers uncompromising comfort, an expanded digital interface, an upgraded ADAS suite and enhanced safety architecture. Improvements in cabin refinement and feature integration further strengthen its everyday usability, while retaining the multiple powertrain and transmission combinations that customers value.</div><div><br></div><div>As Kia India enters its next phase of growth, Seltos continues to anchor the company’s mid-SUV strategy by offering a clear, well-rounded value proposition. The milestone of 6 lakh sales serves as evidence of sustained acceptance, while the updated model is positioned to drive fresh demand among both repeat buyers and new customers seeking a practical yet aspirational SUV.</div>
