Mahindra XUV700 facelift is being tested, with the first big update since 2021

The initial significant leap since its 2021 launch is provided with renewed styling and an additional number of technology features.

The XUV700 has been in the market since the end of 2021, but Mahindra is working on the first massive update of this amazing car.

The first glimpse of a test model of the facelifted SUV has now been noticed and it is covered in camouflage and has gone out to test in a rural area with hilly terrain.

What’s Changing on the Outside?

While the overall design remains familiar, some clear changes can be seen:

·     New LED Headlamps: The present smooth lights were taken over by the round-shaped LED light.

·     Daytime Running Lights (DRLs): The previous C-shaped DRLs are a thing of the past. The round headlights have now LED rings, that will possibly act as DRLs.

·     Modernised Grille: The newly designed grille has additional slats.

·     Sharper Air Dam: The bottom bumper looks to receive a thinner air intake.

alike appearance: There is probable that alloy wheels, tail lights and side profile will remain the same.

Financial Express adds that two of the strangely-looking auxiliary lights captured in the spy shots are probably only meant as testing purposes and will not be part of the final product.

Tech and Feature Upgrades on the Cards

Mahindra can do little to improve the features, but it can include more creature comforts to remain ahead.

·     Rear and front ventilated seats

·      Three screens throughout the dashboard

·      Dolby Atmos sound system by Harman upgraded

·     NFC Tech digital key

The most likely scenario with engine possibilities is that nothing will change.

There will be no significant mechanical modifications underneath the bonnet. The facelifted XUV700 is going to most likely carry on with the same engine options:

·     2.0-litre turbo petrol (mStallion)

·     2.2-litre diesel (mHawk)

They will both have 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission. The high-performance diesel model will still have an all-wheel drive (AWD).

Launch Timeline

While Mahindra hasn’t confirmed an official launch date yet, the testing phase suggests the facelifted XUV700 could arrive in showrooms later this year.

TCS New Bench Policy will limit the annual bench period to 35 days:What TCS Grade Changes Mean to Employees

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has come up with a new associate deployment policy under which bench time is limited to 35 business days

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has also implemented an improved associate deployment policy thus limited to bench 35 days in a year and employees must be deployed in at least 225 billed days every year. The new rule stipulates that, effective June 12, it seeks to improve the use of workforce and match individual effort with organisational objectives

Discussed by Chandrasekaran Ramkumar, the global head of the TCS Resource Management Group (RMG), the update states that extended unassigned stints may have adverse impact on compensation, career developments, overseas assignment, and even eligibility in the employment of the firm.

Other associates who are not assigned on current projects are supposed to approach RMG actively in search of alternatives. They should spend 4-6 hours daily during the bench period with the upskilling program like iEvolve, Fresco Play, VLS, and LinkedIn, go through mandatory training, and polish up by utilizing the Gen AI interview coaching bot that the company provides.

Physical office presence has become a communal requirement in order to deploy faster. Work-at-home or flexible works are not welcome in general to be done, but it must be exceptional case subject to RMG approval

The change affected Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which, earlier in January, changed its work-from-office (WFO) policy to include harsher rules regarding the exception requests. As a company communication, referenced by The Times of India, reveals, the situation is now different with workers in India able to invoke personal emergencies to support up to six WFO exceptions every quarter. Unused exception days can however not be transferred to the next following quarter however

To handle similar logistic problems, such as space limitations, TCS has also enabled employees to request as many 30 exception days in a row (or as many as 90 days in total) at once, which enables a more flexible approach to short-term remote work arrangement planning.

Moreover, TCS has cautioned against recurring short term projects allotment where it mentions that HR inquiry and disciplinary action may be involved.
