Welcome to the latest edition of " Inside India " — your one-stop destination for stories and developments from the world's fastest growing large economy. Indian consumers' desire to shift away from gasoline-based cars should have been Tesla and BYD's moment to shine in the world's third-largest auto market.

The big story The demand for electric vehicles is surging worldwide, but Indian consumers are choosing a different ride — hybrid cars that don't need external charging. Hybrid cars are expected to reach 10% of total car sales in India in the financial year ending March 2027, while EVs are expected to account for 5%, according to a report by Indian research firm Care Ratings.

(Alex Brandon/AP) Undersecretary of the Navy Hung Cao has been elevated to Acting Secretary of the Navy. The announcement, issued by Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell (Assistant to the Secretary of War for Public Affairs), offered no explanation for the move and simply thanked Phelan for his service “on behalf of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and the Deputy.” STATEMENT: Secretary of the Navy John C.

We wish… — Sean Parnell (@SeanParnellASW) April 22, 2026 The timing of the firing could hardly be more dramatic. The United States remains engaged in active military operations against Iran following the launch of Operation Epic Fury on February 28 - a joint U.S.-Israel campaign targeting Iranian missile stockpiles, naval assets, and defense infrastructure. Although a ceasefire took effect around April 8, tensions remain extremely high.
