"Is there going to be a challenge to Royal Enfield? It sold fewer than 30,000 motorcycles - less than the number of bikes Royal Enfield sells each month. Triumph said it has received orders for over 14,000 Speed 400 bikes, exceeding its total India sales of the past decade. Still, the frenzy over the new models is reflected in the surge in Google searches about Harley-Davidson and Triumph in India. Improved financing options is also encouraging lower-income buyers to consider premium bikes, said HDFC Securities analyst Aniket Mhatre.

☆ Southeast Asia's 5G outlook remains 'bleak' in short term despite tech giant partnership, report says
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-09 | by ( Sheila Chiang | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

The Tech Mahindra-Axiata Group Berhad partnership may help accelerate 5G in Southeast Asia but the short-term outlook for the industry is "bleak," Fitch Solutions said in a country risk and industry research report. Last week, Indian IT and consulting giant Tech Mahindra and Malaysian telco conglomerate Axiata Group Berhad inked an agreement to jointly develop and commercialize 5G enterprise solutions in Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and Cambodia. "We believe that this is a promising partnership as it combines the capabilities of Tech Mahindra's 5G enterprise solutions with Axiata's expertise in mobile connectivity, network infrastructure and product services," said Fitch Solutions. While 5G has many benefits, the report said it is still in a nascent stage for many Southeast Asian countries. 5G is the fifth generation of cellular networks and is up to 100 times faster than 4G.

BENGALURU, Nov 1 (Reuters) - Indian IT services provider Tech Mahindra (TEML.NS) reported better-than-expected quarterly profit and revenue on Tuesday, helped by strong demand and the company also declared a special dividend. The Pune-based company's revenue from operations increased nearly 21% to 131.3 billion Indian rupees ($1.59 billion) in the July-September quarter, but a 27% jump in expenses pulled net profit down 4% to 12.85 billion rupees. Analysts on average were expecting a profit of 12.04 billion rupees on revenue of 129.9 billion rupees, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. Tech Mahindra's stock closed up 0.7% on Tuesday, but did little to affect its roughly 39% slide this year.

REUTERS/Danish SiddiquiBENGALURU, Sept 23 (Reuters) - India's Mahindra and Mahindra Financial Services (MMFSL) (MMFS.NS) said on Friday its monthly vehicle recovery would temporarily fall by about 75%, a day after the country's central bank directed the company to stop using third-party services for repossessions. The company's shares tumbled as much as 10% to 201.35 rupees as of 0414 GMT, their biggest intra-day percentage slide in 17 months. The Reserve Bank of India late on Thursday directed the company to stop using third-party services for recoveries until further orders, citing "material supervisory concerns." The halt on vehicle recovery by the third-party agencies is not expected to have any material impact on its financials, the company said.
