  • Airtel’s average revenue per user (ARPU) remained steady at Rs 245, maintaining its lead over key competitors.

  • The board announced a generous final dividend: Rs 16 per fully paid-up equity share and Rs 4 per partly paid-up share, rewarding shareholders for the company’s stellar performance.

  • The telecom giant’s customer base continues to expand, reinforcing its position as India’s second-largest operator.

  • With robust financials and a strong strategic push, Airtel is clearly dialing up the heat in the telecom race.

Silver Breaches $100 as Global Inventory Crisis Deepens

NEW YORK — Silver prices shattered historical records this week, breaching $100 per ounce as a convergence of industrial demand and geopolitical maneuvering stripped global inventories bare.

Wall Street’s Big Fall: SEBI Drops the Hammer on Jane Street!

Key Developments SEBI has imposed a sweeping ban on Jane Street Group , a major US-based trading firm, from participating in the Indian securities markets. The action comes after allegations that Jane Street  manipulated Indian stock indices  and unlawfully pocketed gains of  Rs 4,843 crore . The ban is immediate and covers all Jane Street entities and affiliates, barring them from buying, selling, or dealing in any Indian securities, directly or indirectly. The Alleged Manipulation Jane Street is accused of  artificially inflating stock prices  of key index components, especially in the Bank Nifty and Nifty 50, during morning trading sessions. The firm would then  reverse its positions aggressively  later in the day, causing the indices to fall and profiting from options trades that bet on such movements.
