September 2025 Archive: What You Need to Know
September was a busy month at Tech Formation Hub. We broke down three stories that matter to everyday readers – a fair lottery for liquor shops, the financial twist behind India’s flagship trains, and a big price cut on a popular SUV. Here’s the quick rundown.
Transparent Liquor Shop Lottery in Simdega
The Simdega district administration ran a fully open lottery on August 22, 2025, to allocate 1,343 retail excise liquor shops. All 560 shop groups submitted applications, and the results were posted online by August 31 under the watchful eye of the Superintendent of Excise. The goal? Shut down favoritism and give every applicant a real shot. Winners now have to finish paperwork and meet licensing requirements, but the core win is that the process was publicly verified, so anyone can see who got what and why.
Vande Bharat Lease Model and Mahindra Scorpio Price Cut
Indian Railways says it owns the Vande Bharat fleet, yet it still pays crores each year that look a lot like rent. The secret lies in a finance structure that routes money through IRFC. IRFC funds the manufacturing of the trains, then recovers its investment through long‑term lease payments from the railways. In practice, the railways pay a lease fee that mirrors a rent charge, even though the trains sit on their own tracks. This model helped speed up production when demand spiked, but it also means the railways carry a hidden cost that shows up on balance sheets as “lease expense.” On the automotive side, Mahindra announced a hefty price reduction for the Scorpio Classic after the GST rate fell from 48 % to 40 %. Starting September 6, 2025, buyers can see discounts up to ₹1.20 lakh, roughly a 5.7 % cut across most variants. The biggest saving hits the S11 7‑seater captain seats diesel‑manual model. Dealerships have already updated their listings, and the new prices are live online, giving shoppers a clear window to snag a deal before the official GST change on September 22.
Both stories show how financial tweaks—whether a transparent lottery, a lease‑back arrangement, or a tax‑driven discount—can reshape what consumers see on the ground. For the liquor shop owners, it’s about fairness. For railfans, it’s a reminder to look beyond headline ownership claims. And for car buyers, it’s a nudge to act fast when tax changes translate into real‑world savings. Stay tuned to Tech Formation Hub for more updates that turn complex finance and policy into everyday benefits.

Vande Bharat trains: who really owns them and why Indian Railways pays 'rent'
Indian Railways says it owns the Vande Bharat fleet, yet pays crores every year that look like rent. The reason: a finance model routed through IRFC, which funds manufacturing and recovers costs via long-term lease payments. We unpack how this works, what the trains deliver on speed and acceleration, and why supply chain shocks forced a rethink on critical parts like wheels.
Mahindra Scorpio Classic price cut: Up to ₹1.20 lakh off after GST rate revision
Mahindra has slashed Scorpio Classic prices by up to ₹1.20 lakh after the GST rate dropped from 48% to 40%. The new pricing is live from September 6, 2025—two weeks before the official GST change on September 22. Most variants see about a 5.7% cut, with the biggest saving on the S11 7-seater captain seats diesel-manual. Prices have been updated across dealerships and online.
