No... again, groups are a way to organize your site's users — not content.

- You would need to use categories.
- One category (ekart) for pages about electric vehicles
- Another category (festival) for the yearly festival.
- Then have a group that corresponds to each category.
- Then grant each group permission to its respective category.
Or, for example, if the ekart pages are visible to all site visitors, then you wouldn't need a group specific for it.
I have (what I believe to be) a pretty good example showing how groups, categories, and permissions all work together here: http://twbasics.keycontent.org/How+Permissions+Work
