India news: latest updates on politics, business, tech and culture

Curious what’s happening in India right now? This tag page brings you fast, clear updates and short analysis on the stories that matter — from major political moves and business deals to tech launches and cultural events.

What we cover

We follow five practical beats: politics, economy, tech, sports and culture. Expect reports on government decisions and elections, business deals and market moves, smartphone and industry news, cricket and football highlights, plus festivals and city events. For example, our New Year coverage highlighted big celebrations in Mumbai, Delhi and Goa and recognised achievements by Indian-origin professionals on the global stage.

Each article aims to explain why a story matters to you. If a new trade deal impacts jobs or prices, we show the likely effects. If a tech company launches a phone or opens a factory, we note the job and consumer angles. No jargon, just the facts you can use.
