The compact car segment witnessed the most significant growth, with popular models like the Baleno, Celerio, Dzire, and Swift experiencing increasing demand. Consequently, the company produced 93,301 units in this segment, a considerable rise from the 68,413 units produced in September of the previous year. This increase underscores the continued preference for hatchbacks and compact sedans among consumers.

Production of SUVs and MUVs also saw a substantial rise, reflecting growing customer interest in these segments. Vehicles such as the Brezza, Ertiga, and Fronx saw a 27% increase in production, reaching 79,496 units, up from 62,752 units in the prior year.

Entry-level and other models, including the Alto and S-Presso, saw a slight increase in production, with 12,318 units produced compared to 12,155 units the previous year. Production of the Eeco van also increased to 13,201 units, up from 11,702 units a year earlier. Maruti’s light commercial vehicle, the Super Carry, also performed well, with 3,599 units produced, surpassing the 3,034 units from September 2024.

Notably, the company did not produce its premium sedan, the Ciaz, during this period, in contrast to the 1,687 units produced in the same month the previous year.

Maruti Suzuki recently released its sales report, revealing total sales of 1,89,665 units in September 2025. However, domestic passenger vehicle sales saw an 8% decline, reaching 1,32,820 units. The company attributes this decrease to inventory management and preparations for the festive season.

In the 350cc and below category, the company sold 1,07,478 units in September 2025, a 43% increase from the previous year. Total sales for April-September 2025 reached 5,09,610 units, representing a 32% increase. The premium segment, comprising motorcycles above 350cc, saw sales of 16,850 units, a 45% increase compared to the previous year. The total sales for this category from April to September reached 82,293 units, reflecting a 22% growth.

The domestic market witnessed the sale of 1,13,573 motorcycles, a 43% increase compared to the previous year. Export performance was also strong, with sales of 10,755 units in September, representing a 41% increase. A total of 70,421 units were exported from April-September 2025, signifying a significant 60% jump. With the implementation of GST 2.0, motorcycles up to 350cc became more affordable, with the tax rate on these motorcycles being reduced to 18 percent. As a result, Royal Enfield reduced the prices of its 350cc models starting September 22. Previously, these motorcycles were subject to a 28% GST. Consequently, prices of Royal Enfield 350cc models decreased by up to 20,000 rupees.

A solar eclipse occurs during a new moon when the Moon aligns between the Earth and the Sun. A partial solar eclipse happens when the Moon partially obscures the Sun’s disc. NASA explains that this occurs when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are not perfectly aligned, causing only a portion of the Sun to be covered, resulting in a crescent shape.

This particular solar eclipse will not be visible from India, as it will occur during the night. The regions that will witness the partial solar eclipse include Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, and several Pacific Ocean islands. The eclipse will begin at 17:29 UTC (22:59 IST), reach its maximum at 19:41 UTC (01:11 IST on September 22), and conclude at 21:53 UTC (03:23 IST on September 22).

This temple, situated in the scenic valleys of Bastar, is considered a remarkable center of religious faith. Maa Lingeshwari is enshrined here in the form of a Shivling. It is believed that the wishes of devotees who come to the temple to pray are fulfilled.

Every year, thousands of devotees arrive here, not only from Chhattisgarh but also from other states. Couples without children especially come to seek the blessings of the Mother for offspring. According to tradition, cucumbers are offered at the temple. Afterward, the priest cuts the cucumber into equal parts and gives it as a prasad to both the husband and wife. It is believed that by doing so, the wishes of the couple are fulfilled.

Priest Nandlal Diwan (village Aalor Jhatiban) of the Maa Lingeshwari Seva Samiti, announced in a press conference that the temple doors will be opened on the morning of September 3, following the previous tradition, and thousands of devotees will witness this auspicious occasion.

People eagerly await the Maa Lingeshwari fair throughout the year. Devotees start arriving a day in advance so that they can have the first opportunity to see the Mother.

The lunar eclipse is scheduled to begin at 9:57 pm on September 7th, Indian Standard Time (IST), and will conclude at 1:26 am on September 8th. The period of totality, when the Moon will be completely within Earth’s shadow, will span from 11:42 pm to 12:47 am. During this phase, the Moon will exhibit a reddish hue, a phenomenon observable for approximately 65 minutes.

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth positions itself directly between the Sun and the Moon. This alignment casts Earth’s darkest shadow (umbra) onto the lunar surface. Sunlight, as it passes through Earth’s atmosphere, is filtered, with blue light being scattered away, leaving the red-orange wavelengths to illuminate the Moon. The most visually striking aspect of the eclipse is the Moon’s transformation into a crimson color during totality.

In India, the eclipse will be clearly observable in 15 cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Lucknow, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Patna, Bhopal, and Bhubaneswar. However, the clarity of the viewing experience may be affected by local weather conditions.

For cities in eastern India, such as Kolkata and Guwahati, the commencement of the eclipse will be readily apparent due to the earlier moonrise. In contrast, western cities like Mumbai and Ahmedabad will also witness the eclipse, but the moonrise will occur later.

According to Hindu beliefs, the Sutak Kaal, a period of impurity, will commence nine hours before the eclipse. Temples will remain closed during this time. This implies that the Sutak Kaal will begin at 12:57 pm on September 7th and continue until the eclipse concludes on September 8th at 1:26 am. Many individuals in India refrain from cooking, eating, and performing auspicious activities during this period. Temple doors will be reopened on the morning of September 8th, after purification rituals following the eclipse.
