A surge in gold prices has triggered a wave of selling among Indian households looking to cash in on their holdings of old jewellery. The trend is emerging at a time when India remains heavily reliant on imported gold. During FY26, India imported gold worth approximately $72.4 billion. Meanwhile, recycled gold is estimated to have contributed between 125 and 150 tonnes in 2025, reflecting the scale of domestic sell-offs.
Ireland defeated India by one run in the second T20I on Sunday to complete a 2-0 series sweep. This marks Ireland's first-ever series victory over India across any cricket format. The Irish side had earlier won the opening match by 34 runs against the reigning T20 World Champions. Shortly after this landmark achievement, Ireland's head coach announced his resignation from the role.
India's pursuit of aerospace self-reliance in jet engine technology dates back to 1986, when DRDO's Gas Turbine Research Establishment was tasked with developing the indigenous Kaveri engine for the Tejas fighter aircraft. After four decades of development, nine prototypes, and over 3,200 hours of testing, the project fell short of its goals. The Kaveri engine achieved only 70.4 kilonewtons of wet thrust, well below the required 81 kilonewtons. The programme also suffered a massive budget overrun of 642 percent, highlighting the scale of challenges India faces in developing homegrown propulsion technology. With the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft programme now underway, foreign players Safran and Rolls-Royce are vying to fill the engine gap that Kaveri could not close.
A recent report highlights a sharp contrast in financial behaviour among India's Gen Z, who are active investors through SIPs and mutual funds but remain significantly underinsured. Many young Indians continue to depend on their parents' insurance policies rather than securing their own coverage. Despite having easy digital access to financial information, a notable gap persists between researching insurance and actually purchasing it. Experts suggest the barrier is not a lack of knowledge but rather a lack of urgency and low confidence in making insurance decisions. The report warns that nearly two-thirds of young investors could face financial instability in the event of a health emergency.
