Mercedes-Benz India has confirmed that the much-anticipated AMG CLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe will officially launch in the country on August 12, 2025. The Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe was first showcased globally in December 2024 as a replacement for both the C-Class and E-Class coupes.
This will be the second CLE model in India after the CLE 300 Cabriolet, which arrived in August last year. With the performance-oriented luxury coupe, Mercedes-Benz continues its strategy of expanding its AMG performance portfolio for the Indian market. Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe: Design
The AMG CLE 53 Coupe carries a distinct performance-focused design. Up front, it features the signature AMG Panamericana grille with vertical slats and aggressive-looking LED headlights. The bumper is noticeably sportier than the standard CLE Cabriolet, equipped with a large air dam for added visual impact.
From the sides, flared fenders and air exits behind the front wheel arches enhance its sporty stance. The coupe will be offered with 19-inch alloy wheels as standard, while larger 20-inch wheels will be available as optional extras. At the rear, the CLE 53 Coupe stands out with a wide stance, unified tail-lamp cluster, quad exhaust tips, a gloss-black diffuser, and air exits on both sides.

Jane Street Reenters Indian Markets After $567 Million Deposit: Sources
India's markets regulator has allowed Jane Street to restart trading after the US high-frequency trading firm deposited $567 million, two sources aware of the matter said on Monday. The regulator sent an email to the firm on Friday in which it said that following the deposit of the money, the restrictions imposed by its interim order are no longer applicable, said the sources, who declined to be named because they are not authorised to speak to the media. In an interim order issued on July 3, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) had barred the firm from buying and selling securities in the Indian market and froze $567 million of its funds. Jane Street could resume trading if an equivalent amount was deposited in an account that gives the regulator rights over the money until its investigation is complete, the order stated. Email queries sent to Jane Street and SEBI were not answered immediately. The country's stock exchanges, the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd and BSE Ltd, have been directed to closely monitor the activity of the US-based quant trading firm, the sources said. The two exchanges are yet to facilitate Jane Street's buying and selling of Indian securities, said one of the sources. "While the firm has been allowed to resume trading in India, it has given an undertaking to SEBI that it will not trade in options. The firm also does not intend to trade in cash till it has explained its trades to SEBI," the second source said.
