In the Prime Global Cities Index Q1 2025, Bengaluru was fourth, Mumbai fifth, and Delhi was ranked 15th, considering the annual growth of prime residential prices. The Index tracked price movements across prime residential markets in 45 global cities, the report said.
According to the report, Bengaluru led the Indian cities with an 8.3% annual rise in prime residential prices, followed by Mumbai at 7.6% and Delhi at 3.9%. This consistent momentum reflects strong end-user demand, especially growing preference for higher value housing among domestic buyers.
The report said the average annual price growth across all 45 cities stood at 2.8%, below the long-run average of 5.3% but still marking the eighth consecutive quarter of positive growth.
Knight Frank noted that the Prime Global Cities Index is a valuation-based index tracking the movement of prime residential prices using local currency data from its global research network.

In Q1 2025, 72% of the cities tracked in the index recorded positive annual growth, with cities in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions continuing to lead the global recovery.
"The strong performance of Indian cities on the global index reflects the evolving appetite for premium homes, underpinned by economic stability, lifestyle aspirations, and increased global attention on Indian urban centres. Cities like Bengaluru and Mumbai are benefitting from a deeper end-user market, robust infrastructure growth, and rising affluence," said Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, Knight Frank India.

Meanwhile, major Western markets such as London and Toronto experienced minor declines. Knight Frank expects future performance to depend on monetary policy clarity, particularly regarding interest rate movements in key global economies.

Russia buys Trump claim he brokered India-Pak truce
NEW DELHI: Russia appeared to be buying into US President Donald Trump's claim that he mediated the "ceasefire" in the India-Pakistan military conflict that followed India's Operation Sindoor strikes on terrorist camps in Pakistan. A ccording to President Vladimir Putin's aide Yury Ushakov, the issue figured in the "highly productive and positive" talks that Putin had with Trump on Wednesday. In his account of the conversation, Ushakov said other than Ukraine, a number of other international issues were raised "as well as the armed conflict between India and Pakistan, which has been halted with the personal involvement of President Trump". Putin strongly condemned the Pahalgam attack and also backed India's efforts to bring perpetrators to justice. However, Ushakov's remark about Trump's role is unlikely to go down well with Indian authorities who have repeatedly denied that the US or any other country brought the conflict to an end. India also rejected Trump's offer of mediation on the Kashmir issue, saying it will always engage bilaterally with Pakistan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo External affairs minister S Jaishankar had said earlier that while American leaders were in touch with India and Pakistan, the pause in fighting was directly negotiated by the Indian and Pakistani armies, after Pakistan reached out to India for a dialogue. US secretary of commerce Howard Lutnick had later said on oath in a US court that Trump had used trade to avert a full-scale war between the "nuclear armed" countries. Putin is likely to visit India later this year for the annual India-Russia summit. Before that, as reported by TOI on May 26, foreign minister Sergey Lavrov will travel to India later this month to finalise agenda for the summit.

Dassault ties up with Tata grp to make Rafale fighter jet fuselage in Hyd
1 2 Hyderabad: In a significant boost for ' Make in India ' and 'Atmanirbharta' in the aerospace and defence sector, and Hyderabad's growing stature as a global aerospace hub, the complete fuselage of the Rafale fighter jet will now be made in India at Hyderabad. This move marks the first time that these Rafale components will be manufactured outside France for the Indian as well as global markets. French aerospace major Dassault Aviation has signed four production transfer agreements with Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL) for manufacturing key sections of the Rafale fighter jet, including the lateral shells of the rear fuselage, the complete rear section, the central fuselage, and the front section. TASL will set up a dedicated production facility to manufacture the complete fuselage of the Rafale fighter jet, with a capacity to deliver up to two complete fuselages every month. The first of these fuselage sections is slated to begin rolling off the assembly from 2027-28. TASL and Dassault said in a joint statement on Thursday that the move marks a significant step in strengthening India's aerospace manufacturing capabilities and supporting global supply chains. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo The proposed facility will serve as a critical hub for high-precision manufacturing, they added. "This is a decisive step in strengthening our supply chain in India," said Dassault Aviation chairman & CEO Eric Trappier. "...this supply chain will contribute to the successful ramp-up of the Rafale and, with our support, will meet our quality and competitiveness requirements." TASL CEO and managing director Sukaran Singh said the collaboration also reflects the remarkable progress made by India in establishing a modern, robust aerospace manufacturing ecosystem that can support global platforms. The Rafale fighter jet fuselage is the latest in a string of key civil and military aircraft components being made in Hyderabad, where TASL houses three joint ventures – Tata Boeing Aerospace Ltd (TBAL), Tata Lockheed Martin Aerostructures Ltd (TLMAL), and Tata Sikorsky Aerospace Ltd (TSAL). Located in Adibatla near the international airport at Shamshabad, TBAL's facility manufactures vertical fin structures for Boeing's 737 family of airplanes and aero-structures for Boeing's AH-64 Apache attack helicopter. In Feb, TBAL Hyderabad marked an important milestone with the delivery of the 300th fuselage for the Apache. These fuselages are manufactured for customers around the world, including the US Army and the Indian Army. On the other hand, TLMAL manufactures empennage assemblies or tail structures for Lockheed Martin's C-130J Super Hercules military transport aircraft. The TSAL makes a significant chunk of the components for Sikorsky's S-92 presidential chopper, including cabins and over 5,000 precision components. Hyderabad also houses manufacturing facilities for French aviation giant Safran. While Safran Aircraft Engines makes rotating turbine seals for the LEAP engine, Safran Electrical & Power makes electrical harnesses for the LEAP engine, Rafale as well as Falcon 10X and Fadec.

China's Shein faces same complaint in Europe that Indian government has gone after Flipkart, Amazon, Zomato and other online companies for
The pan-European consumer organization BEUC has reportedly lodged a complaint with the European Commission, accusing Chinas fast-fashion giant Shein of employing "dark patterns" to manipulate shoppers into spending more on its app and website. These deceptive user interface tactics, designed to mislead consumers into unintended purchases, mirror practices the Indian government has been urging its e-commerce sector to regulate. Incidentally, these are the same Dark patters that Indian government have been telling ecommerce players in the country to follow guidelines on. What are Dark Patterns in online shopping Dark patterns are deceptive user interface designs that mislead or manipulate consumers into making unintended choices. These practices erode consumer trust, distort fair market dynamics, and pose a serious threat to the integrity of digital commerce. What BEUC report says on Dark Patterns Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm According to a report by Reuters, Dark patterns, such as pop-ups pressuring users not to leave the app, countdown timers creating urgency to buy, and infinite scroll features, were highlighted in BEUC's report as "aggressive commercial practices." The organization also criticized Shein's use of frequent notifications, noting one phone received 12 alerts in a single day. These methods, BEUC argues, erode consumer trust and distort fair market dynamics. 'For fast fashion, volume is key, and these dark patterns are engineered to drive mass consumption,' said Agustin Reyna, BEUC's director general, in an interview. He questioned whether Shein would have sufficient incentive to eliminate these practices, given their impact on sales. Shein responded, stating it is 'working constructively with national consumer authorities and the EU Commission to demonstrate compliance with EU laws.' The company noted that BEUC declined its request for a meeting. Shein's gamification strategies, like the 'Puppy Keep' game, where users feed a virtual dog to earn points for discounts, further encourage frequent app engagement but risk penalizing users who don't log in daily. The complaint, backed by 25 BEUC member organizations across 21 countries, including France, Germany, and Spain, also called for broader investigations into other mass-market clothing retailers using similar tactics. Last month, the European Commission warned Shein of potential fines for breaching EU consumer laws, while EU tech regulators are scrutinizing its compliance with online content rules. Guidelines on Dark Patterns in India Meanwhile, in India, Union Minister for Consumer Affairs Pralhad Joshi recently addressed dark patterns at a high-level stakeholder meeting. The meeting included major e-commerce players like Amazon, Flipkart, Swiggy, Zomato, and Reliance Retail, among others, to discuss stronger measures against these manipulative practices. The Indian government has been pushing e-commerce platforms across sectors like food, travel, and retail to adhere to guidelines curbing dark patterns, signaling a global crackdown on such tactics. BEUC's action follows a similar complaint against Shein's rival, Temu, as both platforms gain popularity in Europe through apps offering discounts and gamified shopping experiences. The growing scrutiny underscores rising concerns about the integrity of digital commerce worldwide.
