Endurance Technologies to Invest ₹473 Million for New Battery Plant in Maharashtra

Endurance Technologies Ltd. plans to set up a new manufacturing unit in Mindewadi, Maval, Pune, Maharashtra. This plant will produce lithium-ion battery Packs that can be used in electric mobility and energy storage systems.

Key Investment Details

The company will spend around ₹473 million on this project. It will be funded through the company’s own savings (internal accruals). The new production capacity will be about 35,000 battery packs per month and will be rolled out in phases starting from the last quarter of the financial year 2025-26.

Product Information  

The new product is Lithium-Ion Battery Packs, expected to launch in January 2026. These battery packs are targeted only at the domestic market for now. This is a completely new line, so there is no existing capacity or usage at present.

India Post and SBI Mutual Fund Join Hands for Easier Mutual Fund KYC Across India

In a significant move to streamline the customer onboarding process for mutual fund investors, the Department of Posts (DoP) has formed a strategic partnership with SBI Funds Management Limited (SBIFM). 

 

The collaboration, formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), aims to simplify the Know Your Customer (KYC) process by utilising India Post’s vast nationwide network. This initiative ensures greater accessibility, security, and regulatory compliance for investors, aligning with India’s broader financial inclusion goals.

Extending Financial Services through India Post’s Reach

India Post’s extensive network of over 1.64 lakh post offices, including those in the most remote parts of the country, positions it uniquely to support this initiative. These post offices provide critical financial services even in areas with limited infrastructure or traditional banking options. 

Under the agreement, trained personnel from India Post will visit investors’ homes to collect the necessary KYC forms and documents, thereby ensuring a seamless and secure process. This effort not only addresses logistical challenges but also ensures accuracy and privacy in handling sensitive information.

The service is especially advantageous for those in underserved areas, including rural regions, small towns, and isolated communities. Additionally, it significantly benefits senior citizens and individuals with mobility constraints by enabling them to complete the KYC process from their residences.

Supporting Government Initiatives for Financial Inclusion

This initiative directly supports the Government of India’s Jan Nivesh programme, designed to enhance participation in capital markets. It also contributes to the broader goals of the Digital India mission by digitising key aspects of financial services. Through this collaboration, India Post helps simplify the KYC procedure and raises awareness about the importance of financial compliance, thereby creating a gateway for rural and semi-urban populations to engage in investment opportunities like mutual funds.

India Post’s capability in managing such operations has already been established through successful partnerships with UTI Mutual Fund and SUUTI (Securities and Exchange Board of India’s public fund), where over five lakh KYC verifications were completed in a short span. This demonstrates its efficiency, security standards, and operational scale.

India Post continues to explore further partnerships with both public and private financial institutions. With its robust infrastructure and trained workforce, it remains a key player in boosting financial literacy, digital onboarding, and investment participation across India.

Conclusion

The collaboration between the Department of Posts and SBI Funds Management Limited marks a major step in facilitating secure and accessible mutual fund investments for all segments of the population. By leveraging India Post’s unmatched outreach, the initiative reinforces efforts toward a more inclusive and digitally empowered financial ecosystem.

Sumant Kathpalia Steps Down as IndusInd Bank CEO & MD Over Derivatives Accounting Lapses

Sumant Kathpalia has resigned as Managing Director and CEO of IndusInd Bank with effect from the close of business hours on April 29, 2025. In his resignation letter, he cited the ongoing issue related to the accounting of internal derivative trades and said he was stepping down, taking moral responsibility.

Accounting Discrepancy and Impact

IndusInd Bank had earlier disclosed accounting discrepancies in its internal derivatives portfolio. An external forensic review conducted by Grant Thornton reported a cumulative impact of ₹1,960 crore on the bank’s profit and loss account. 

A separate review estimated the hit to the bank’s net worth at 2.27% as of December 2024. The bank said it would reflect the impact in its FY25 financials and stopped all internal derivative trades from April 1, 2024.

Deputy CEO Also Steps Down

One day before Kathpalia’s resignation, Arun Khurana resigned from his role as whole-time director and deputy CEO. He referred to the adverse accounting impact identified by the bank and noted his oversight of the treasury front office. Khurana was also serving as interim CFO after Gobind Jain resigned in January 2025. Santosh Kumar, the bank’s chief accountant, was appointed as special officer for finance and accounts on April 18, until a full-time CFO is hired.

Board Actions and Interim Arrangements

The bank’s board has sought approval from the Reserve Bank of India to form a committee of executives to manage CEO duties temporarily. This is under Section 10B(9) of the Banking Regulation Act, which permits banks to make interim arrangements for up to four months.

As of 9:24 AM on April 30, 2025, IndusInd Bank share price was trading at ₹819.55, down 2.08%. The stock has declined 20.66% over the past six months and 44.75% over the past year.

Conclusion

With senior-level exits and regulatory attention, IndusInd Bank is managing its operations through interim measures while addressing internal control issues linked to the derivatives accounting matter.

Maharashtra Cabinet Approves New Electric Vehicle Policy

According to the news reports, the Maharashtra state cabinet has approved the Electric Vehicle Policy 2025, aimed at increasing the adoption of electric vehicles across categories and improving related infrastructure. The policy will remain in effect until 2030 and has a total allocation of ₹1,993 crore.

Revised Coverage and Benefits

The revised policy extends benefits beyond two and three-wheelers to include private four-wheelers, buses, goods carriers, and electric tractors. Passenger EVs will receive a 10% subsidy on the total vehicle cost, while electric goods-carrying vehicles and tractors will get 15% subsidy.

All EVs registered under this policy will be exempt from registration fees. In addition, full toll waivers have been approved for EVs using the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, Atal Setu, and Samruddhi Mahamarg, while 50% toll concessions will apply on state and other national highways.

Charging Infrastructure 

Charging stations will be installed at 25 km intervals along national highways. The policy proposes making it mandatory for new housing societies to include EV charging stations, without which occupancy certificates may not be granted. For older societies, installation support will be facilitated through elected local representatives.

Budget Provisions by Local Bodies

Municipal corporations across the state will be required to allocate 1% of their annual budgets to EV infrastructure development. This includes provisions for public charging facilities and other ecosystem support.

RBI New ATM Charges from May 1: How Many Free Transaction Limits Are Allowed?

Starting May 1, 2025, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will implement new rules for ATM transactions. You will be charged at a higher rate per transaction when you make an ATM withdrawal beyond limit.

How Many Free ATM Transactions are Allowed?

Customers will now be entitled to 3 free ATM transactions per month in metropolitan cities and 5 in non-metropolitan areas. These include both financial and non-financial transactions, as per news reports.

Updated ATM Charges Beyond Free Limit

Once the free monthly limit is exceeded, banks can charge up to ₹23 per transaction, plus applicable taxes. This fee applies to both financial and non-financial activities across all ATMs, including Cash Recycler Machines (CRMs)—except for cash deposits, which remain free.

Bank-specific ATM Changes

Several major banks have started informing customers:

HDFC Bank

₹23 + taxes for cash withdrawals beyond the free limit at its own ATMs; non-financial transactions remain free at HDFC ATMs only.

Punjab National Bank (PNB)

From May 9, 2025, charges will be ₹23 for financial transactions and ₹11 for non-financial ones at other banks’ ATMs.

IndusInd Bank

All customer categories (Savings, Salary, NRI, Current) will face ₹23 charges for cash withdrawals at non-IndusInd ATMs beyond free limits.

Customer Advisory

Customers should note:

  • Track ATM usage to avoid additional charges.
  • Limit usage at other banks’ ATMs, especially in metro areas.
  • Be aware that CRMs also incur charges except for cash deposits.

Context and Trends

The move aims to optimise ATM operations and promote digital banking alternatives.

RBI data reveals a steady decline in ATM withdrawals:

  • Jan 2023: 57+ crore transactions
  • Jan 2024: 52.72 crore
  • Jan 2025: 48.83 crore

Despite this trend, cash remains a critical part of India’s economy. The 2021 revision of fees contributed to expanding the country’s ATM infrastructure.

Please note that;

  • Micro-ATMs, interoperable cash deposits, and international ATM transactions are excluded from the updated charges.
  • NPCI’s new communication outlines balance inquiry fees in Nepal and Bhutan, excluding GST.

Conclusion

The RBI’s updated framework seeks to balance ATM maintenance costs for banks with customer transparency, while nudging users toward digital payment systems.

आरबीआई ने पर्सन-टू-मर्चेंट डील्स के लिए यूपीआई पेमेंट लिमिट बढ़ाई

भारत के डिजिटल भुगतान पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण कदम में, भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक (आरबीआई) ने नेशनल पेमेंट्स कॉरपोरेशन ऑफ इंडिया (एनपीसीआई) को यूनिफाइड पेमेंट्स इंटरफेस (यूपीआई) के माध्यम से किए गए पर्सन-टू-मर्चेंट (पी2एम) भुगतानों के लिए लेनदेन सीमा बढ़ाने की अनुमति दी है। यह निर्णय आरबीआई की विकसित हो रही उपयोगकर्ता आवश्यकताओं को पूरा करने और बढ़ते खुदरा बाजार में सुचारू डिजिटल लेनदेन का समर्थन करने की प्रतिबद्धता को दर्शाता है। 

बदलाव क्यों मायने रखता है? 

यूपीआई लेनदेन आम तौर पर पी2पी और पी2एम दोनों भुगतानों के लिए ₹1 लाख तक सीमित हैं। हालांकि, कुछ पी2एम उपयोग के मामलों में पहले से ही ₹2 लाख या ₹5 लाख की उच्च सीमा की अनुमति है। अब, नवीनतम अपडेट के साथ, एनपीसीआई को चल रही प्रतिक्रिया और उभरते उपयोगकर्ता रुझानों के आधार पर पी2एम भुगतानों के लिए लेनदेन सीमा को संशोधित करने और बढ़ाने की अनुमति दी गई है। 

यह लचीलापन भुगतान पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र को हर बार सीमा परिवर्तन की आवश्यकता होने पर नए आरबीआई अनुमोदन की प्रतीक्षा किए बिना नई मांगों के अनुकूल होने में मदद करने के लिए डिज़ाइन किया गया है। 

इसमें एनपीसीआई की भूमिका क्या है? 

नेशनल पेमेंट्स कॉरपोरेशन ऑफ इंडिया (एनपीसीआई) भारत में यूपीआई और अन्य खुदरा भुगतान प्रणालियों की रीढ़ है। इसे अब आरबीआई द्वारा बैंकों और भुगतान सेवा प्रदाताओं के साथ पी2एम भुगतानों के लिए नई लेनदेन सीमाएं परिभाषित करने के लिए अधिकृत किया गया है। 

पर्सन-टू-पर्सन पेमेंट्स के बारे में क्या? 

जबकि पी2एम भुगतान सीमा को अब ऊपर की ओर संशोधित किया जा सकता है, आरबीआई ने स्पष्ट किया है कि यूपीआई के माध्यम से पी2पी लेनदेन ₹1 लाख पर सीमित रहेगा। इसका मतलब है कि केवल व्यापारियों को किए गए भुगतान-जैसे ऑनलाइन दुकानें, स्थानीय स्टोर और सेवा प्रदाता-उच्च यूपीआई भुगतान सीमा से लाभान्वित हो सकते हैं। 

सुरक्षित भुगतान एक प्राथमिकता बनी हुई है 

यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए कि बढ़ी हुई लेनदेन सीमा से दुरुपयोग या धोखाधड़ी न हो, उचित सुरक्षा उपाय पेश किए जाएंगे। इन उपायों का उद्देश्य जोखिमों को प्रभावी ढंग से प्रबंधित करना है, जबकि उपयोगकर्ताओं को आवश्यकतानुसार बड़े भुगतान करने की स्वतंत्रता देना है। 

डिजिटल इंडिया के लिए एक कदम आगे 

आरबीआई के इस फैसले से लाखों व्यापारियों को लाभ होने की उम्मीद है, खासकर स्वास्थ्य सेवा, शिक्षा या यात्रा जैसे क्षेत्रों में काम करने वालों को, जहां उच्च-मूल्य वाले डिजिटल भुगतान आम हैं। यह भारत के कैशलेस अर्थव्यवस्था और अधिक अनुकूलनीय डिजिटल भुगतान बुनियादी ढांचे की ओर चल रहे प्रयासों को भी दर्शाता है। 

निष्कर्ष

आरबीआई द्वारा यूपीआई पी2एम लेनदेन सीमा बढ़ाने की अनुमति डिजिटल भुगतान क्रांति में एक महत्वपूर्ण मील का पत्थर है। यह निर्णय न केवल व्यापारियों को उच्च-मूल्य के भुगतान स्वीकार करने में मदद करेगा, बल्कि भारत को एक अधिक लचीली, सुरक्षित और कैशलेस अर्थव्यवस्था की दिशा में आगे बढ़ने में भी सहायता करेगा। एनपीसीआई को मिली नई जिम्मेदारियां देश के डिजिटल भुगतान पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र को और सशक्त करेंगी, जिससे उपभोक्ताओं और व्यवसायों दोनों को समान रूप से लाभ मिलेगा।

SIP vs NPS: Which Can Generate a Higher Corpus on ₹10,000 Monthly Investment for 30 Years?

When planning for retirement, two popular investment options come to mind: Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) and the National Pension System (NPS). Both are market-linked schemes that offer the potential for significant long-term growth. While SIP allows you to invest in mutual funds through a fixed monthly contribution, NPS is designed to help you save for retirement with the added benefit of pension income post-retirement. In this article, we will compare these 2 and evaluate which one generates a higher corpus for a ₹10,000 monthly investment over 30 years.

Investment Scenarios: NPS vs SIP

To compare the potential returns from both NPS and SIP, let’s assume a monthly investment of ₹10,000 for 30 years. We’ll consider a conservative annual return of 10% for NPS and a slightly higher return of 12% for SIP to account for the higher potential equity exposure in SIPs. 

Here’s the calculation of NPS and SIP using the NPS and SIP calculators from Angel One.

NPS Scenario:

  • Monthly Contribution: ₹10,000

  • Number of Years: 30 years

  • Annualised Return: 10%

  • Total Investment: ₹36,00,000 (₹10,000 per month for 30 years)

  • Future Value of Investment: ₹1,84,44,741

  • Interest Earned: ₹1,48,44,741

SIP Scenario:

  • Monthly Contribution: ₹10,000

  • Number of Years: 30 years

  • Annualised Return: 12%

  • Total Investment: ₹36,00,000 (₹10,000 per month for 30 years)

  • Future Value of Investment: ₹3,52,99,138

  • Estimated Returns: ₹3,16,99,138

Comparison of Potential Returns

Investment Type Monthly Contribution Annual Return Total Investment Future Value Estimated Returns
NPS ₹10,000 10% ₹36,00,000 ₹1,84,44,741 ₹1,48,44,741
SIP ₹10,000 12% ₹36,00,000 ₹3,52,99,138 ₹3,16,99,138

Read More: NPS vs Mutual Fund: Meaning and Key Differences. 

Conclusion

Both NPS and SIP offer market-linked growth, but SIPs, with their higher equity exposure and compounding effect, seem to generate a significantly larger corpus over the long term. While NPS is a more conservative and tax-efficient choice for retirement savings, SIPs provide the potential for higher returns, especially if you are comfortable with market volatility.

The ultimate decision between NPS and SIP will depend on your risk appetite, investment goals, and the level of flexibility you desire. Both options offer unique benefits, and understanding their potential over 30 years can help you make an informed choice about which investment strategy suits your financial objectives.

Siemens Share Price Gains 4% from Demerger Day

Siemens Ltd.’s shares saw a modest uptick of 0.50% on April 29, 2025, as of 3:06 PM. Despite this brief rise, the stock has been on a downward trend for most of the year, with a decline of approximately 14%. The company’s recent moves, including a key demerger, have had a significant impact on its stock dynamics.

The Demerger: Splitting Siemens Ltd.’s Energy Division

A landmark event occurred on April 15, 2025, when Siemens Ltd. allocated 35.6 crore equity shares in a 1:1 ratio as part of its demerger scheme. This strategic move separated Siemens Ltd.’s energy business, creating a new, standalone entity called Siemens Energy India Ltd.

The demerger took effect on April 7, 2025, aligning with the record and ex-date. On the ex-date, Siemens Ltd. experienced a dramatic intraday movement, with the stock hitting its upper circuit limit. This was part of a brief surge that saw a 26% increase. However, since the demerger, the stock has retraced somewhat, only managing a 4% gain from the close of April 7.

Siemens Energy India: A New Energy Giant

Siemens Energy India Ltd. now operates as an independent entity, focusing on delivering comprehensive products, solutions, and services across the energy value chain. The portfolio of Siemens Energy India includes key segments such as grid technologies, industrial power generation, gas services, and project execution across power generation, transmission, and industrial applications.

This separation from Siemens Ltd. allows Siemens Energy India to hone its focus on the energy sector, enabling a more specialised approach to the growing needs of energy infrastructure development in India.

Financial Impact of the Demerger

Before the demerger, Siemens Ltd.’s energy vertical contributed significantly to its overall financials. Between the financial years 2021 and 2024, this segment contributed an average of 35% to Siemens Ltd.’s revenue and 40% to its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). The separation of this high-value segment has fundamentally altered Siemens Ltd.’s financial structure and its stock price dynamics.

Conclusion

The demerger of Siemens Ltd.’s energy business into Siemens Energy India marks a pivotal moment for both companies. While Siemens Ltd. faces a recalibration of its business model, Siemens Energy India is poised to grow as a dedicated energy powerhouse. The market’s reaction, characterised by an initial surge in Siemens Ltd.’s stock, reflects investor anticipation, though the stock has seen some retracement since the initial excitement. This move will likely continue to shape the market narrative for Siemens Ltd. and Siemens Energy India in the coming months.
