NEW DELHI, May 21: Car market leader Maruti Suzuki India on Thursday said it will hike prices of its vehicles across models by up to Rs 30,000 from June 2026, citing inflationary pressures and an adverse cost environment.

The company has decided to increase prices of its models across its portfolio by up to Rs 30,000 with effect from June 2026, Maruti Suzuki India said in a regulatory filing.

The exact quantum of change will vary from model to model, it added.

“For the past few months, the company has been making continuous efforts to mitigate the cost impact to the extent possible through cost reduction measures,” the company said.

Office space, one floor of a newly constructed multistorey RCC building, located at a peaceful noncongested area of Shillong, less than a km from Meghalaya Secretariat, having 5,500 sqft of built up area, adequate parking space and 24×7 water, is available for a long-term lease. Interested parties, including corporate bodies, PSUs and commercial firms, may write to Box No: 338 C/o The Shillong Times within 27th May 2026.

MUMBAI, May 21: The rupee rebounded 50 paise from its all-time closing low to settle at 96.36 against the US dollar on Thursday after crude oil prices retreated from elevated levels amid signs of easing geopolitical friction, alongside likely central bank intervention.

Forex traders said the rupee had gained after the recent geopolitical developments, but investors are still gauging the geopolitical risk and oil price sensitivity in the background. (PTI)

SHILLONG, May 21: Justice (retd) Tinilangthang Vaiphei, who was heading the Commission of Inquiry into the three-day violence in Garo Hills in March, has quit the Commission, days after it was constituted.

Sources said that Justice Vaiphei resigned from the Commission on health grounds as the inquiry involves multiple trips to Tura.

The state government had instituted the Commission to probe into the three-day violence in Garo Hills in March relating to the filing of nomination papers for the now-postponed GHADC election.

SHILLONG, May 21: Con- tinuing his war of words against Voice of the People Party (VPP) supremo Ardent Miller Basaiawmoit, Deputy Chief Minister Sniawbhalang Dhar on Thursday reminded the former that unlike Non- gkrem, where voters change their MLA every five years, the people of Nartiang have reposed faith in him by elect- ing him four times.

“The people of Nartiang have principle as they have elected me as their MLA for four times whereas voters in Nongkrem change their MLA every five years,” Dhar said.

Basaiawmoit had earlier stated that he might contest from Nartiang in 2028 if formally invited by the sitting MLA and Deputy Chief Min- ister, describing the potential contest as a battle between “the rich and the poor”.

Dhar dismissed the idea of any invitation, saying, “Why should we invite anyone to come to Nartiang and contest the election in 2028? Every body is free to contest. I am not the owner of Nartiang but only an MLA.”

Dhar also downplayed the attendance at a recent VPP public meeting held at Iewpynsing, Wahiajer — one of the biggest markets in the area — claiming only 200- 250 people turned up.

Meanwhile, Dhar asserted that the NPP is working hard to ensure victory for its candidate D.R.L. Nonglait in the upcoming Shillong Parliamentary By-election. He said party workers are actively campaigning in all 36 constituencies.

Dismissing any talk of anti-incumbency, Dhar de- scribed Nonglait as “a new face in Meghalaya politics” and welcomed the participa- tion of more candidates in the by-election, calling it a “good sign” for democracy.
