Tata Motors brings Kerala together this Onam with exciting products and great benefits
MUMBAI: Tata Motors launched its exclusive Onam offers campaign for the state of Kerala. Valid from 25 July to 30 September 2025, the Company is offering special benefits up to 2, 00,000 on Passenger and Electric vehicles with priority deliveries as a part of Onam bookings. Enhancing the festive spirit, Tata Motors has also introduced flexible and value-rich financial plans in partnership with leading institutions. Customers can now avail Balloon Schemes – enabling low initial EMIs for easier upgrades, Step-Up Schemes that provide progressive EMIs tuned to income raises for ease of payment and Low EMI Scheme offering just ₹100 per lakh EMI for the first 3 months. Moreover, EV customers can also avail 6-month financing for accessories, extended warranty, AMC, and servicing, making EV ownership even more accessible.
Celebrating the festivities across the state, the Company launched a new regional campaign – “Kerala comes together with Tata Motors’. Deeply rooted in local sentiment and cultural understanding, the campaign thoughtfully portrays the meaningful moments that culminate in the Onam festivities. Central to this narrative is the iconic Malayalam track “Nada Nada” by Avial— an enduring and cherished song in Kerala, whose uplifting melody and message to “keep moving forward” resonate deeply with the spirit of Onam.
Enhancing the festive fervor in Kerala, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd., chief commercial officer, Vivek Srivatsa said, “Kerala has always been a vital market for Tata Motors and holds special significance for the Tata Group. Onam is the most important festival for our customers here, and we are committed to making this celebration even more meaningful. This year’s festive campaign is designed to enhance the overall buying experience with attractive cash offers, easy financing options, and priority deliveries—ensuring a delightful journey for our customers.
In line with our commitment to seamless ownership, Tata Motors has expanded its service network across Kerala, now boasting 622 passenger vehicle bays in 83 workshops, a dedicated EV battery repair centre, training facilities, and 5 Tata.ev stores. We believe these initiatives, coupled with our heartfelt campaign, will bring added joy to the season and strengthen our emotional bond with our customers.”

Samsung India mobile chief quits after 18 years
Raju Antony Pullan’s exit leaves a gaping hole at the top as Chinese rivals tighten their grip
GURGAON: Raju Antony Pullan has had enough. The senior vice-president and head of Samsung India’s mobile phone business has put in his papers after 18 years at the Korean giant, a tenure long enough to have watched the company stride to the top of India’s smartphone market and then stumble, badly, as Chinese upstarts muscled in.
Pullan, who ran sales, marketing and every last function of the smartphone business, tendered his resignation on Thursday and is currently serving out his notice period. Samsung has not named a successor. It has a second line of leadership waiting in the wings, Aditya Babbar and Hiren Rathod among them, but no decision has been made on who steps up.
The timing is awkward. Samsung has been haemorrhaging market share to Chinese brands and now clings to a top-two position only in the premium segment, where it scraps it out with Apple. Losing the man who stewarded the mobile business through its best and worst years hardly helps steady the ship.
A company that once owned India’s smartphone market is now fighting to stay relevant in it. Pullan’s departure is less a footnote than a flashing red light.
