A combined company of London's OneWeb and French satellite firm Eutelsat Communications SA is set to list on the London Stock Exchange this year, a move that could help recover Britain's status as a hotspot for tech listings, The Times reported on Tuesday (28).

A secondary listing was a commitment negotiated by ministers as part of plans for OneWeb to merge with Eutelsat, the newspaper reported, quoting Indian billionaire investor and OneWeb's executive chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal.

The companies had announced a deal to merge last year, when OneWeb was valued at $3.4 billion (£2.75 bn).

London is facing the risk of losing its appeal for stock-market listings. Earlier this month, UK chip designer Arm announced its decision to list only in New York, triggering calls for faster reforms to help the capital's financial district compete better in global tech listings.

Eutelsat and OneWeb did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

UK motor industry warns EV discounts 'unsustainable' as car sales exceed two million

Highlights

  • Over 2 million new cars registered in UK for first time since pandemic; 23.4 per cent were electric vehicles, below 28 per cent government target.
  • Manufacturers offered £11,000 average discount per EV, totalling over £5bn, to meet Zero Emission Vehicles Mandate requirements.
  • Industry calls for early review of ZEV Mandate as stricter 33 per cent target looms for 2026 amid rising costs and market challenges.

The UK motor industry has warned that massive discounts on electric vehicles are "unsustainable" despite new car registrations exceeding two million for the first time since the pandemic, with concerns growing over the widening gap between consumer demand and government targets.

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) reported 2,020,373 new cars were registered in 2025, marking the third consecutive year of growth. However, the figure remains significantly below the 2.3 m vehicles sold in 2019.
