The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) published comprehensive guidelines for e-mandates in digital payments on Tuesday, requiring an extra layer of authentication (AFA) to increase the security of recurring transactions.

The new standards apply to all payment system providers and users that process auto-debit payments via cards, prepaid payment devices, and the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), regardless of whether the transactions are domestic or international. The instructions are now in effect.

Customers who choose the e-mandate option will be required to go through a one-time registration procedure under the updated system.

The RBI stated that the mandate will only become operative after the successful validation of an extra authentication component, in addition to the regular verification procedure conducted by issuers.

Additionally, the central bank made it clear that every e-mandate transaction must first pass via this extra authentication layer.

The RBI announced that recurring transactions over Rs 15,000 would need extra authentication in order to improve security.

This additional layer of verification will also be necessary before processing high-value payments such as credit card bill payments, insurance premiums, and mutual fund subscriptions that exceed Rs 1 lakh.

Within the confines established by the central bank, the framework grants users the freedom to establish e-mandates for either a fixed or variable sum.

Issuers are required to allow customers to set a maximum transaction amount in the event of fluctuating mandates.

A new verification is necessary for any change to an existing mandate.

Customers will have the option to change or terminate each e-mandate at any moment during its specified validity duration.

To ensure transparency, the RBI has mandated that issuers explicitly disclose these characteristics to customers throughout the registration procedure.

The central bank made it clear that there would be no fees for customers to use the e-mandate facility for recurring payments.

Furthermore, it was stated that payments made under e-mandates will not be subject to any independent restrictions or controls imposed by customers outside the framework.

In the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad on Monday, Sunrisers Hyderabad reached 242 for 2 and defeated Delhi Capitals by 47 runs in the 31st match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, thanks to opener Abhishek Sharma, an outstanding, undefeated 135 off 68 balls.

The left-hand batter’s innings were a lesson in how to manage aggression. Before unleashing a deadly assault, he timed his innings well, scoring his ninth T20 century in 47 balls and his fifty in only 25 deliveries. He demonstrated his dominance this year by passing Heinrich Klaasen in the Orange Cap competition by the 15-over mark.

The SRH innings began steadily, but soon picked up pace. With Nitish Rana’s offspin during the Power-play, Delhi momentarily recovered some control, limiting SRH to 15 runs for no loss after two overs.

But after the hitters discovered their rhythm, the plan failed. Rana was destroyed in a 20-run over that featured three sixes, bringing the score to 56 without a loss, after SRH had scored 36 for no loss in four overs.

Abhishek led the way, scoring 21 off 12 and leading the attack alongside Travis Head. In the Power-play, the two formed another seamless alliance, bringing SRH to 67 without any casualties. The team’s 70th six of the year, which broke Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s total of 69, came on the last ball of this period.

Beginning cautiously, Head increased his pace to 37 off 26 before retiring at 97 for 1 in 8. 5 overs. After smashing two sixes in the over, he mishit a long hop from Axar Patel to deep midwicket. Nevertheless, this breakthrough failed to halt SRH.

Klaasen was brought to the crease at a crucial point when Ishan Kishan was soon run out at the non-striker’s end after scoring a lightning-fast 25 off 13 balls. With a strong 37 off only 13 deliveries, the South African helped SRH cruise past the 240-run barrier at the conclusion of the innings.

As Abhishek and Kishan attacked ferociously, Kuldeep Yadav had difficulty in the middle overs as SRH sped to 126 for 1 in 11 overs. Despite the ideal circumstances for reverse swing on a dry surface, Delhi’s seamers, including Mukesh Kumar, were unable to generate any movement, giving SRH the upper hand.

Despite Delhi’s valiant pursuit, the goal was enormous. They put up a good fight and showed signs of defiance, but early errors in the field, such as dropped catches, a missed run-out, and bad bowling substitutions, proved to be expensive.

DC struggled to seize control of the game because Rana allowed 55 runs in his four overs, while Axar and Kuldeep, the spinners, only bowled two overs each. Nitish Rana, who was included in the playing XI for this game, led the way with 57 runs, followed by Sameer Rizvi with 41, but ultimately it was not enough.

Delhi is left lamenting missed opportunities as SRH, boosted by Abhishek’s amazing century, rejoiced their third consecutive victory, moving up to third in the standings and passing the Rajasthan Royals.

Brief scores:
Sunrisers Hyderabad 242/2 in 20 overs (Abhishel Sharma 135, Travis Head 37; Axar Patel 1-23)
Delhi Capitals 195/9 in 20 overs (Nitish Rana 57, Sameer Rizvi 41; Eshan Malinga 4-32, Harsh Dubey 3-12)

South Korea’s largest shipbuilder, HD Hyundai, announced on Tuesday that it has partnered with Indian government-backed companies to build a joint shipyard in India.

According to Yonhap News Agency, HD Hyundai announced that on Monday (local time) in New Delhi, it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Sagarmala Finance Corporation Ltd. (SMFCL) and NSHIP TN of India to collaborate on the establishment of a joint venture shipbuilding business.

The Sagarmala port infrastructure development project in India is supported by the special-purpose organization NSHIP TN (National Shipbuilding & Heavy Industries Park) Tamil Nadu, which was founded by the port authorities of the nation.

As the largest shareholder, HD Hyundai will take the helm in the joint venture shipbuilding business it will create with the two organizations under the MoU. Ultimately, it will oversee all operations and construct a digital-focused shipyard in India.

The agreement was signed during a bilateral summit between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in New Delhi.

Additionally, HD Hyundai wants to encourage domestic talent by funding a shipbuilding training facility and assisting South Korean equipment companies in breaking into the Indian market.

The Indian government intends to initially place shipbuilding orders with HD Hyundai’s South Korean shipyards before the joint shipyard begins operations and send local workers to gain practical expertise, according to HD Hyundai.

An HD Hyundai official stated that the newest agreement signals the shift of bilateral shipbuilding cooperation into the commercial execution stage and that the collaboration is anticipated to aid in securing new orders and opening up prospects for Korean partners to grow internationally.

TVS Motor will use its electric vehicle (EV) platform, three-wheeler engineering experience, and understanding of the local market to co-develop the product.

According to a US-based expert, nuclear power and natural gas may serve as the foundation for the next stage of India-US energy collaboration as both nations seek to reduce costs, diversify supply chains, and improve long-term energy security.

Dinsha Mistree of the renowned Stanford University’s Hoover Institution stated, “There are plenty of opportunities right now,” emphasizing that nuclear energy is “very critical” for future cooperation between the United States and India.

He pointed out that, despite the groundbreaking 2008 civil nuclear treaty establishing the groundwork for collaboration, it was “never fully realized because of various liability laws that were passed in India shortly after. ” “There’s now a lot of opportunity for US and India to work very closely together on nuclear,” he said, citing recent legislative developments.

According to Mistree, the US calculus has changed. The fact that the US also has to develop its own energy initiative is another key factor, he said, noting that nuclear energy has widespread bipartisan backing in Washington. India could play a key role, he said, since cost was the greatest obstacle. “India manufactures nuclear component parts… The expenses may be significantly lower than what we could produce in the US or even what we could purchase in other nations.

He also warned that momentum is still fragile. “It’s still very early days… Indian companies have not yet “make the case fully enough that the US will be a promising market for them to supply to,” he said, adding, “I see a lot of industry players waiting and watching to see what will emerge. ”

Mistree stated that bilateral trade in natural gas is expected to increase in the future. “I believe it’s going to be more than that. The US is “one of the world’s biggest producers,” he said, adding that he would hope it would be “even more. ”

He cited structural bottlenecks in India, such as “taxation and distribution,” but said that these may be overcome by changing regulations. According to him, modifications to the tax system, such as possible GST changes, might “make gas more affordable,” making India “a much more attractive market” for American providers.

He emphasized that diversification is now crucial. “Clearly, India should diversify its supply chain if it is depending on just one or two countries… and including the US is not just a nice to have… it’s a necessity,” he said.

Additionally, Mistree emphasized the environmental benefits of gas. “Gas is one of the reasons we have clean air in the United States,” he stated, alluding to the transition from coal. He also said that renewable energy is complemented by gas. “Gas is a switch. ” You can turn it on, you can turn it off… In fact, the renewable energy infrastructure that India has been constructing complements it quite well.

He said that India is at a turning point right now, considering recent geopolitical turmoil. “This is India’s first major real energy crisis,” he stated, calling for a more organized policy response. “Think more seriously about energy security, develop an energy security strategy, diversify alliances, and seek for new resources. ”

He said that the US experience might be helpful. “For decades, American politicians have considered energy security… We have more energy than ever before, and there is a “natural fit” for collaboration between the two nations, he observed.

Beyond energy, Mistree stated that US academic and political organizations are starting to give more attention to India’s rise, but that there are still gaps in understanding. India, he said, “hasn’t gotten the same level of attention” as China, which he described as “a real tragedy” at Stanford. But he said that “farsighted leaders… are very bullish towards India” and want India-US relations to be “at the center” of America’s long-term strategy.

Mistree stated that the Indian American community is “very positive,” adding that Indians are “the richest national origin group in the United States. ” This, he said, was due to integration and common principles. “It’s one of us, not one of them,” he stated.

However, he cautioned that success entails new difficulties. “With success… comes some level of jealousy,” he said, noting that how Indian Americans are seen may have an impact on how India itself is seen in certain areas of the United States.

He highlighted growing worries across the political spectrum. “This is becoming an increasingly and worryingly bipartisan issue,” he said, citing examples of policy resistance and negative sentiment.

The significance of Indian talent to the American innovation environment was emphasized by Mistree. “When you consider our America’s STEM and innovation pipeline, we want the best brains to continue to come here,” he said, cautioning that any feeling of exclusion might have lasting effects.

Additionally, he emphasized a rising reverse connection. “There are approximately a million Americans living in India, many of whom are the children of people who hold H-1B visas,” he stated, noting that this demographic has the potential to influence the relationship between the two nations in the future.

He stated that Indian Americans are growing more outspoken when it comes to politics. “Indians are more assertive…” Connecting this to increasing representation in elections and US public life, he said, “Indians are not going to be wallflowers in a debate. ”

As the third-largest energy consumer in the world, India has been diversifying its energy sources in an effort to strike a balance between economic development and environmental sustainability.

The United States has established itself as a significant exporter of liquefied natural gas and continues to invest in nuclear technology of the future.

Bloomberg reports that if a deal is not struck before the conclusion of a two-week ceasefire with Iran this week, US President Donald Trump said it is doubtful that he would prolong it.

In a phone conversation, Trump stated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until a peace deal is signed.

They want me to unlock it. The Iranians are desperate for it to be opened. He said, “I’m not opening it until an agreement is signed. ”

According to the Xinhua news agency, oil prices rose as a result of the US Navy capturing an Iranian-flagged vessel over the weekend and Washington keeping up its blockade.

I’m not going to be pressured into making a lousy transaction. Trump stated that we have plenty of time.

The truce, which he proclaimed on April 7, would end on Wednesday night at US Eastern Time, he said.

When questioned if he anticipates that strikes will begin right away if no agreement is reached, Trump responded with the following: I would definitely anticipate if there were no agreement.

Trump told PBS News over the phone Monday morning that if the ceasefire with Iran ends, there will be a lot of explosions.

When asked if Iranian negotiators will be involved in new discussions in Islamabad, Trump responded: I have no idea. They are meant to be there, after all. Even though they claim we weren’t, we decided to be there. However, it was staged. And we’ll find out if it exists. That’s alright if they’re not there.

On Monday morning, he told the New York Post that U. S. Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to travel to Pakistan for the second round of discussions with Iranian authorities. Citing two US officials, The New York Times reports that Vance is anticipated to go from Washington to Pakistan on Tuesday.

Trump stated in the Post that he would be open to meeting with high-ranking Iranian authorities if a breakthrough occurs. However, he told Bloomberg on Monday morning as well that he did not believe he would need to be there in person for the discussion.

The US Central Command announced on X that as of Monday morning, American forces had turned away 27 ships heading to or from Iranian ports.

In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026‘s Match 30 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday, the Mumbai Indians defeated Gujarat Titans by 99 runs thanks to Ashwani Kumar, a fast bowler who grabbed four wickets and Tilak Verma for his first century off 45 balls.

As the five-time champions jumped to seventh place in the standings, the Mumbai Indians’ Net Run Rate was greatly improved by the victory.

Five-time winners Gujarat Titans were bowled out for only 100 runs in 15. 5 overs when Ashwani Kumar took 4-24 as they were chasing 200 runs. Earlier in the day, Tilak Varma, the winner of India’s T20 World Cup, brought the Mumbai Indians to a score of 199/5 in 20 overs after a shaky start brought about by Kagiso Rabada’s three Power-play wickets by blasting his first century off 45 balls.

The Gujarat Titans, who were attempting a tough score of 200, got off to a terrible start when they lost a wicket on the first ball. Jasprit Bumrah took his first wicket of the IPL 2026 season by instantly dismissing Sai Sudarshan.

When captain Hardik Pandya dismissed Jos Buttler in the following over, the pressure persisted. Even though the in-form batter chose to have the lbw ruling reviewed, the umpire maintained his decision. However, GT was in early difficulty when Buttler only managed 5 runs off 6 pitches.

Following the twin setback, Sundar and captain Shubman Gill attempted to restore the innings with a counterattack. In four overs, the pair hit five boundaries in a flash, bringing the score to 35/2 and briefly changing the momentum.

Young pacer Ashwani Kumar, however, struck to dismiss Gill for 14 off 13 balls, just as the Gujarat Titans appeared to be settling their innings. In the chase, the Gujarat Titans were still under pressure when the Power-play ended at 45/3, with three wickets down.

Following the power-play, the Mumbai Indians’ bowlers maintained their dominance. With a tight over before Mitchell Santner delivered a decisive double blow in the eighth over, Allah Ghazanfar applied pressure. He first dismissed Sundar for a quick 26 off 17 balls before taking out Glenn Phillips with a brilliant slower ball, leaving GT in trouble at 56/5.

As the match was slipping away, Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia attempted to stabilize the situation with a partnership based on singles and doubles. But the necessary run rate kept increasing, which put more pressure on the situation.

Tewatia was out for 8 off 11 balls when Quinton de Kock caught him behind the stand in the 11th over after he edged a delivery from Ashwani. Rashid Khan was caught for four in Ashwani’s next over as he continued his outstanding performance. By taking Shahrukh Khan’s wicket, who fell while trying a big shot, he finished a magnificent four-wicket haul.

In the 16th over, Ghazanfar finished the innings by taking two consecutive wickets of Rabada and Mohammed Siraj, completing a dominating bowling display.

Ashwani Kumar, the Mumbai Indians’ best bowler, had great statistics of 4-24. The Mumbai Indians controlled the chase from beginning to end, with Bumrah and Pandya contributing one wicket each, while Santner and Ghazanfar each took two wickets to provide great support.

I got off to a poor start after being asked to bat. The opening duo of Quinton de Kock and Danish Malewar were unable to get things rolling. Kagiso Rabada dismissed Malewar early for two runs, and de Kock followed shortly after with 13.

Rabada maintained his strong spell, but Naman Dhir made an effort to counter with some boundaries. He took his third wicket by dismissing Suryakumar Yadav for 15, putting MI in a difficult position with a score of 46/3 during the powerplay.

Tilak Varma and Dhir rebuilt the innings with a steady partnership after the initial setbacks. At the midway point, they had MI at 75/3 after effectively rotating the strike and penalizing errant pitches. Prasidh Krishna broke their 52-run partnership by removing Dhir for a well-executed 45 off 32 pitches.

Then, in the last few overs, Tilak changed his approach. He started off slowly, but then he began to pound the bowlers, hitting massive blows all over the place. After 33 balls, he turned fifty and continued to pick up speed.

Tilak completed his first IPL century in just 45 balls, completely taking over the bowling attack during the death overs. With eight fours and seven sixes, he led the Mumbai Indians to a formidable score of 199/5 while remaining undefeated at 101.

Rabada’s numbers of 3/33 made him the standout bowler for the Gujarat Titans. Prasidh Krishna and Mohammad Siraj each took one wicket.

Brief scores:
Mumbai Indians 199/5 in 20 overs (Tilak Varma 101*, Naman Dhir 45; Kagiso Rabada 3-33, Mohammed Siraj 1-25)
Gujarat Titans 100 all out in 15.5 overs (Washington Sundar 26, Shahrukh Khan 17; Ashwani Kumar 4-24, Mitchell Santner 2-16)

India might be closer to completely relying on its own nuclear energy after reaching an important goal in its big three-step nuclear plan, according to a Report.

The report said this development could be a major change in India’s long-term plan to solve fuel shortages and create a reliable nuclear energy system.

The report says that India has had a big problem for a long time: “India didn’t have much uranium, which is the fuel that most nuclear reactors use. ” Even now, the country still needs to buy uranium from other countries, including important deals with places like Canada.

India has a lot of thorium, which is about 25 percent of the world’s total, hidden in its sands. This gives it a special chance for the future.

The report states that thorium can’t be used as fuel right away and needs to be converted first. This led India to take a long-term plan instead of looking for quick solutions. Instead of rushing, Indian nuclear scientist Dr. Homi J Bhabha aimed for something bigger: a way to make India self-reliant with its resources, even if it took many years to achieve.

This plan started India’s three-step nuclear program. It began with using uranium, then moved to plutonium, and finally aimed to use thorium. The second stage was not finished for many years. But that has changed recently.

On April 6th, India’s Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam reached a big milestone for the first time. This means that the reactor can now run on its own without needing extra help, which is an important step for nuclear power.

Although there are fast breeder reactors in other countries, the Vietnam Times notes that “in most places, the work on these reactors hasn’t gone as expected.

” India’s determination is notable, it said. “Still, India kept working towards this goal. ” It remained dedicated to breeder reactors because they were important.

The importance of the milestone is in what it means for the future. According to Vietnam Times, “By reaching a key milestone, India has demonstrated that it can operate a reactor with plutonium fuel, moving closer to expanding its nuclear fuel options. ” These reactors can make more useful material than they use, turning limited resources into renewable fuel.

The report also points out that the technology used is very complicated. It involves using a special type of fuel and liquid sodium for cooling, which needs to be carefully sealed, watched, and made with great accuracy.

Even with the progress made, the report warns that there are still problems to deal with. Nuclear energy makes up a little more than 3 percent of the electricity produced in India, and there is still a lot of progress to be made. If it works, the program could greatly lower the need for imported uranium.

In summary, the report says that India might finally be achieving Dr. Bhabha’s dream of using fuel it already has instead of depending on other countries for it.
