  • Increasing commodity prices and overall inflation have been cited as the reasons for the price hike.

  • Maruti’s current lineup includes 17 models sold via the Arena and Nexa showrooms.

It’s a common practice for carmakers to announce price hikes towards the end of a calendar year which become effective from the next year. With 2024 around the corner, Maruti has announced a price hike across the range, effective from January 2024. The price revision will vary for different models and variants.

Reason For The Hike

Maruti has stated that rising commodity prices and overall inflation have resulted in increased input costs, thus leading to the price increment. However, the quantum of the price increase is yet to be announced. For your reference, here’s the current model-wise pricing of Maruti’s existing lineup:

LED Vs. Incandescent Bulbs: Which Impacts Your Electric Bill More?

The main factor that determines how much LEDs impact your electric bill is time. Energy Star-rated LEDs are approximately 75% more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs. For example, while a 60-watt incandescent bulb uses 60 watts, a comparable LED bulb only uses around 10 to 15 watts. This difference becomes significant when you consider the usage over a three-hour period per day. It means that a single incandescent bulb would consume 65,700 watts per year, compared to approximately 16,425 watts per year for an LED bulb (using the example of a 15-watt LED bulb).

Considering the estimated monthly cost of $0.52 for an incandescent bulb and $0.09 for an LED bulb, the yearly cost per incandescent bulb comes to around $6.22, while for an LED bulb, it is approximately $1.04. It’s important to note that these calculations are based on the usage of a single bulb. When you take into account multiple bulbs in a house, the savings can be quite considerable.

So, in conclusion, LED bulbs will indeed save you a significant amount on your electric bill, despite their higher initial cost. However, it is worth mentioning that the price difference between LED and incandescent bulbs may not be as significant nowadays, as LED bulbs can often be found at comparable prices. Additionally, LEDs have a significantly longer lifespan, often lasting up to 30 times longer than incandescent bulbs. This also means that even if LED bulbs are slightly more expensive, you won’t need to replace them as frequently.

Twitter’s Latest Experiment Requires New Users to Pay for Full Access

In a recent trial, Twitter has introduced a new policy that will only affect new accounts created after October 17, 2023. Existing accounts will not be affected. This move is part of Twitter’s ongoing efforts to combat the presence of bots on their platform, a concern that even Elon Musk has raised in the past. The intention behind this program is to safeguard the user experience by preventing bots and spammers from manipulating the platform, as explained in a support document provided by the company.

Under this trial, new users in the Philippines and New Zealand will be required to verify their phone numbers when signing up, regardless of whether they intend to pay the associated fee. After this initial step, each new user will be presented with several options: pay an annual fee of $1 for access to basic features, subscribe to the $8 per month X Premium service for additional features, or qualify as a verified organization. It is important to note that any fees paid during the beta testing phase will not be refundable. As this is still a beta test, Twitter may ultimately choose to halt or expand the program into other markets in the future.
