आज आपके शहर में कितना है पेट्रोल-डीजल का रेट? मुंबई से बेंगलुरु तक चेक करें कीमत

Petrol-Diesel Rate Today on April 25: आज शनिवार 25 अप्रैल को भारत में पेट्रोल-डीजल की कीमतों में कोई बदलाव नहीं देखने को मिल रहा है. वहीं, ग्लोबल क्रूड ऑयल मार्केट्स में कीमतों में उतार-चढ़ाव अब भी जारी है. अंतरराष्ट्रीय तेल की कीमतों और मुद्रा विनिमय दरों में उतार-चढ़ाव के बावजूद देश में रिटेल ईंधन की कीमतें स्थिर बनी हुई हैं. देश के कई बड़े शहरों में पेट्रोल और डीजल की दरों में फिलहाल कोई बदलाव नहीं किया गया है.

रोज सुबह जारी होते रेट़्स

भारत की तीन प्रमुख तेल विपणन कंपनियां (OMCs) — इंडियन ऑयल कॉर्पोरेशन (IOC), भारत पेट्रोलियम कॉर्पोरेशन लिमिटेड (BPCL) और हिंदुस्तान पेट्रोलियम कॉर्पोरेशन लिमिटेड (HPCL) — रोज सुबह 6 बजे अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजार में कच्चे तेल की कीमतों और डॉलर-रुपये की विनिमय दर में आए बदलावों के आधार पर पेट्रोल-डीजल की कीमतें जारी करती हैं. इन कीमतों का असर एक सब्जी बेचने वाले से लेकर ऑटो-रिक्शा चलाने वाले तक पर पड़ता है. ऐसे में हर दिन की कीमतों की जानकारी रखना जरूरी है. हालांकि, हाल के दिनों में कीमतें स्थिर बनी हुई हैं. 

क्या बढ़ जाएंगी ईंधन की कीमतें?

देश के कई राज्यों में हो रहे विधानसभा चुनावों के बाद पेट्रोल और डीजल की कीमतों में 25-28 रुपये प्रति लीटर की संभावित बढ़ोतरी की खबरें इन दिनों खूब वायरल हो रही हैं, जिन्हें सिरे से नकारते हुए पेट्रोलियम और प्राकृतिक गैस मंत्रालय (MoPNG) ने X पर एक पोस्ट में कहा, ”सरकार के विचाराधीन ऐसा कोई प्रस्ताव नहीं है.”

भारत सरकार की तरफ से गुरुवार को बताया गया कि सरकारी तेल कंपनियों को पेट्रोल पर लगभग 20 रुपये प्रति लीटर और डीजल पर लगभग 100 रुपये प्रति लीटर का नुकसान हो रहा है क्योंकि वैश्विक तेल कीमतों में बढ़ोतरी के बावजूद पिछले लगभग चार सालों से पंप की कीमतें स्थिर बनी हुई हैं. मंत्रालय ने कहा कि खुदरा ईंधन की दरें बढ़ाने की कोई तत्काल योजना नहीं है.

US government stake in Intel jumps fourfold to billion

US government stake in Intel jumps fourfold to $36 billion

The value of the US government stake in Intel Corp. has increased fourfold to hit a value of about $36 billion after the chipmaker’s financial outlook showed a resurgence in sales.

That’s the equivalent of an almost $27 billion return on paper since Intel and the government announced the investment in August. Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan secured the unconventional investment following a charm offensive to win over the White House and repair relations with President Donald Trump, who’d called for Tan’s ouster.

Details of the investment deal

The White House announced a deal that will likely see the US taxpayer owning 433.3 million shares of the company once certain conditions are met. The agreement priced the shares at $20.47 apiece, valuing the stake at $8.9 billion. Taxpayers own more than 270 million shares directly, with some shares held in an escrow account. The paper valuation assumes that the US exercises all of its acquisition rights under the deal.

Broader push to back key industries

Besides its investment in Intel, the Trump administration has announced more than a dozen other deals to bolster critical industries including rare earths, steelmaking and nuclear power. Trump is now considering a possible financial rescue of struggling Spirit Airlines that could give the US government the option to own as much as 90% of the carrier once it emerges from bankruptcy.

“We were the chip capital of the world,” Trump told reporters in Washington on Thursday. And now Intel is “coming back. All the chip companies are coming back.”

Intel shares rose 24% to $82.54 in New York on Friday. The percentage gain — Intel’s biggest since 1987 — propelled the stock to an all-time high.

India sets up SBI-led panel to assess risks from Mythos AI platform

India sets up SBI-led panel to assess risks from Mythos AI platform

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday said the government has formed a panel under SBI Chairman C S Setty, who also leads the industry grouping Indian Banks’ Association, to assess risks emanating from AI platform Mythos and come up with mitigating measures.

There will be a lot of interaction among banks over the next few weeks to understand the threats and also look at the areas where additional investments will be required, Sitharaman said on the sidelines of an event to inaugurate SBI’s newly created local head office here.

“In the coming weeks, there will be a lot of interaction within the banks, understanding where more investments will have to be made, what kind of technologies can come in, how AI itself can be used for countering this AI born challenge,” Sitharaman said.

Government, banks step up coordination

The government had held a high-level meeting with banks on Thursday, that was also attended by IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, Sitharaman, and other top officials.

Sitharaman said not much is known about Mythos yet and there are very few people who have tried the system, which is speculated to bring about radical changes in computing.

She said all this while, the system has been able to protect customers but the same record may not be sufficient to guard against newer platforms.

The Meity is speaking with various governments and also technology companies to understand the issue, the FM said.

Global concerns over Mythos AI

Anthropic’s AI model Mythos has raised a global debate over vulnerability in the financial system as the model has the capability to find weaknesses in their operating system and launch a potential cyber attack.

Mythos’ advanced coding capabilities give it an unprecedented potential to detect cybersecurity weaknesses and develop methods to exploit them, sparking concerns that it could be used to disrupt banking systems.

Regulators across Asia, Europe, and the US have already warned banks to review their defences and preparedness.

Mythos has raised alarm bells among regulators, who see it as a significant challenge to the banking sector and its legacy technology systems.

Banking system vulnerabilities

Banks and financial institutions are most vulnerable as there is high interconnected (payments, markets, clearing systems) and dependence on legacy IT systems operating in real-time.

One successful cyberattack can cascade quickly across institutions and markets as one bank is linked to many domestic and global institution for inward and outward payment, forex trading, money market exposure, stock market linkage, depositories and payment gateway, etc.

US sanctions Chinese refinery and 40 firms over Iranian oil trade

US sanctions Chinese refinery and 40 firms over Iranian oil trade

The Trump administration is placing economic sanctions on a major China-based oil refinery and roughly 40 shipping companies and tankers involved in transporting Iranian oil.

The move, announced Friday and first reported by The Associated Press, makes good on the Trump administration’s threat to impose secondary sanctions on companies and countries that do business with Iran. It’s also part of the Republican administration’s overall ramped-up campaign to cut off Iran’s key source of revenue — its oil exports.

Concurrently, the US this month imposed a physical blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf waterway that is crucial to global energy supplies.

These sanctions come just a few weeks before President Donald Trump and China’s Xi Jinping are due to meet in China.

Included in Friday’s sanctions is Hengli Petrochemical’s facility in the port city of Dalian, which has a processing capacity of roughly 400,000 barrels of crude oil per day, making it one of the biggest independent refineries in China.

The Treasury Department says Hengli has received Iranian crude oil shipments since 2023 and has generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for the Iranian military.

The advocacy group United Against Nuclear Iran said in February 2025 that Hengli is one of dozens of Chinese purchasers of Iranian oil.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Friday that his agency “will continue to constrict the network of vessels, intermediaries and buyers Iran relies on to move its oil to global markets.” Earlier this month, Bessent’s department sent a letter to financial institutions in China, Hong Kong, the UAE and Oman threatening to levy secondary sanctions for doing business with Iran and accusing those countries of allowing Iranian illicit activities to flow through their financial institutions.

Bessent said during a White House press briefing on April 15 that the administration has told countries “that if you are buying Iranian oil, that if Iranian money is sitting in your banks, we are now willing to apply secondary sanctions, which is a very stern measure.” The sanctions come as the global energy trade is in turmoil as war around the Persian Gulf chokes off oil and natural gas shipments, causing prices to soar.

Treasury has tried to quell the impact of rising oil prices issuing temporary sanctions waivers on Russia oil and a one-time waiver on Iranian oil already at sea.

Mercedes-Benz calls for another price hike this July due to rise in forex

Mercedes-Benz calls for another price hike this July due to rise in forex

Mercedes-Benz India on Friday said that the buying sentiments have not changed for luxury cars in India, as the markets are getting back to normalcy. It is the delay in supply chain management, which the carmaker said, was leading to price escalation, and that it was planning for another price hike in the next few months.

“We were never dependent on the current shipping routes, which are affected. We are seeing delays, we are seeing increased cost for sure, but it’s still in the manageable extent because we anyway have buffer stocks. But, on the other side, the exchange rate deterioration was significant so we tried to cover it with two price increases already and now we have to again think of the third price increase in the third quarter (July),” Santosh Iyer, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mercedes-Benz India, told businessline.

Speakingon the sidelines of the much awaited CLA battery electric vehicle (BEV), he noted that the company has to recalculate at some point in time, because rising exchange rates were the worrying factor, more than the supply side.

“We have to be careful on the demand side as well – that we cannot continue to increase prices and expect demand to be the same. So we will have to recalculate that at some point in time,” Iyer said.

Robust demand

On the demand side, he said that there was a strong momentum for luxury cars with significant demand, and the industry is expected to continue with the momentum.

“It was only in the last week of March when we saw a bit of some sentiment changes. That was the week when the capital markets crashed and there was a bit of sentiment down. But now, with the recovery of the markets as well as to some extent, I think the buying sentiments have not changed, we still are seeing good demand,” Iyer added.

The CLA 250+ ‘Long Range’ model is priced at ₹59 lakh

The company launched the CLA BEV with introductory prices of ₹55 lakh for CLA 200 ‘Standard Range’; ₹59 lakh for CLA 250+ ‘Long Range’; and ₹64 lakh for CLA BEV ‘Launch Edition’.

The CLA 250+ ‘Long Range’ has a range of 792 Km on a full charge, goes 0-100 kmph in 6.7 seconds and has a 200 kW peak output with 85.5 kWh battery. Mercedes-Benz India has already received 400+ bookings and the deliveries will soon commence, Iyer said, adding that 60 per cent of buyers are first time buyers to luxury and 40 per cent are current luxury customers. Majority of CLA buyers are Gen Z and millennials.

IndusInd Bank logs ₹533 cr profit in Q4FY26 against a huge loss in Q4FY25

IndusInd Bank logs ₹533 cr profit in Q4FY26 against a huge loss in Q4FY25

IndusInd Bank (IIB) reported a decent standalone net profit of ₹533 crore in the fourth quarter (Q4FY26) on the back of a healthy growth in net interest income as well as other income even as its deposits and advances declined.

India’s fifth largest private sector bank had reported a net loss of ₹2,236 crore in the year-ago quarter as it made a huge provision of ₹2,417 crore due to incorrect recording of cumulative interest income and fee income, correction in mis-classfication of certain microfinance loans, among others.

IIB’s standalone net profit in the reporting soared about 230 per cent against preceding quarter’s ₹161 crore.

Final dividend

The bank’s board recommended a final dividend of ₹1.50 per equity share of ₹10 each fully paid up (or 15 per cent) for FY26.

In FY26, IIB’s standalone net profit declined 65 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) to ₹933 crore (₹2,643 crore in FY25).

To a specific question whether last year’s issues relating to internal derivative trades accounting are behind the bank, Rajiv Anand, MD & CEO, said: “The answer is yes. It means fully accounted for, disclosed to regulators, stock exchanges and other key stakeholders. So therefore, to that extent, that is behind us.

“I think the process of rebuilding is what we have been going through over the last six months or so. We are rebuilding trust with our key stakeholders — regulators, the board, investors, customers and even our employees.”

In the reporting quarter, the bank’s net interest income (difference between interest earned and interest expended) was up 43 per cent y-o-y at ₹4,371 crore (₹3,048 crore in the year-ago period).

Other income, including commission income from non-fund based banking activities, fees, earnings from foreign exchange and derivative transactions, profit and loss (including revaluation) from investments and recoveries from accounts previously written off, jumped 141 per cent y-o-y to ₹1,706 crore (₹709 crore).

Deposits & advances

As at March-end 2026, deposits and advances declined by 3 per cent y-o-y (to ₹4,00,174 crore) and 8 per cent y-o-y (to ₹3,15,871 crore), respectively.

“We have been guiding that FY27 is when we transition to a growth mindset. And we believe that this year should be when we start to grow broadly in line with market, both on the assets and on liabilities,” Anand said.

Net interest margin declined to 3.39 per cent in the reporting quarter from 3.52 per cent in the preceding quarter. However, the margin is much higher as compared to the year-ago quarter’s 2.25 per cent.

Provisions & contingencies declined 39 per cent y-o-y to ₹1,484 crore (₹2,417 crore).

Gross non-performing assets (NPAs) nudged up to 3.43 per cent of gross advances as at March-end 2026 against 3.13 per cent as at March-end 2024. Net NPAs too edged up a shade to 1 per cent of net advances against 0.95 per cent.

IIB’s shares closed at ₹848.30 apiece, down 1.41 per cent (or ₹12.15) over the previous close on BSE.
