NEW DELHI, January 20 – BUSINESS STANDARD – General Motors Co reclaimed its title as the world's top selling automaker for the first time since 2007, after sales of more than 9 million vehicles globally in 2011. In 2011, Toyota's sales were hurt by severe production cuts following an earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis in Japan as well as severe flooding in Thailand. That places Toyota in the No. 3 slot in 2011 worldwide sales, just behind Volkswagen AG, which sold 8.16 million vehicles last year. – BUSINESS STANDARD – US-based coffee giant Starbucks is fine tuning its plans to set up stores in the country in partnership with Tata Coffee.

Starbucks’ arch-rival in the US, Dunkin’ Donuts, will launch operations in India in tie-up with Jubilant Foodworks.
