Redesigned with reader at core, The Indian Express app is now available on iOS and Android
Redesigned for the mobile-first generation and based on both user feedback and subscriber insights, the new app focuses on cutting the clutter by showcasing the best of Indian Express along with what each reader finds most relevant. Balancing speed and depth, the app brings Express subscribers to the core, ensuring they have all the answers when they want it.
The app comes at a time when more Indian readers are moving towards a direct relationship with their trusted news sources. With the advent of AI, readers are now unsure about the veracity of content they see on large tech platforms, doubting the source of these stories. The Indian Express app offers direct access to verified news to millions of readers, keeping them ahead of the curve at all times.
Says Sanjay Sindhwani, CEO, Indian Express Digital: 'In a world moving faster than ever, information is the new currency—and the all-new Indian Express app is your key to staying on the front foot. With lightning-fast updates, hyper-personalised alerts and immersive storytelling, our app delivers the news that shapes your tomorrow, today. Download now—because when the story breaks, you can't afford to be the last to know.'
What's new?
At the core of the revamped app is a cleaner, clutter-free, and more responsive UI/UX that makes navigating effortless. The app also adapts seamlessly on larger screens of foldables and tablets.
One of the new standout features is the ' Curated For You ' widget, a personalised recommendation engine powered by machine learning. The widget shows stories tailored to the reader's interests and location, ensuring content relevant to the specific user is accessible at all times.
Express Shorts, which has won accolades for offering news in consumable chunks, is now completely native in the app. Shorts offer a smoother way to catch up on news in a glance-friendly format.
Another intelligent addition is the ability to save and organise articles in folders, allowing users to group related stories in one place. This is particularly beneficial to the thousands of UPSC aspirants who read Express daily.
The app now has a redefined search function that offers broader, more accurate results from across categories, authors, and multimedia.
Customisation at the core
Customisation is at the heart of the new design. The top navigation bar now adapts to a user's preferences, as they can now choose their topics of interest and reorder sections based on their reading preferences. When it comes to engagement features, the app now offers native crossword and puzzle sections, which are now easily accessible within the app.
The app now supports Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode for video playback, allowing users to continue navigating the app while the video plays in a floating window. Podcasts also get a power boost, as they can now play in the background even after the app is closed, just like any media player.
Other upgrades include a new 'Latest' tab in the bottom navigation bar that brings together all the freshest updates in one place. Additionally, the Profile tab now shows users stats such as the number of articles read, videos watched, podcasts played, and time spent in the app.
The app also offers native subscriptions now via both the App Store and Play Store with easier payment methods and renewal options. This ensures that readers never lose access to premium content owing to missed renewals.

Trump's tariff may seem severe, but India not worse-off than nations that signed trade deal: GTRI
Despite US President Trump's proposed tariffs on Indian goods, GTRI suggests India isn't worse off than nations that made trade deals with Washington. These countries conceded significantly, while India refused to compromise on key areas like agriculture. India's tariffs are WTO-compliant, and its relationship with Russia has aided in managing inflation. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads US President Donald Trump's announcement to impose a 25 per cent tariff and penalty on Indian goods may seem severe but the country is not in a worse position than nations that signed trade deals with Washington, think tank GTRI said on Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said the UK, the EU, Japan, Indonesia, and Vietnam now face elevated tariffs, and in return, have given sweeping concessions --zero tariffs on US farm goods, massive investment pledges, and purchases of American oil, gas, and has made no such concessions, it added."While Trump's announcement of a 25 per cent tariff plus penalty on Indian goods appears harsh, a closer look shows that India is not significantly worse off than countries that did sign deals with the US," GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava added that India did not walk away from the deal and it negotiated in good faith but refused to cross its red lines particularly on agriculture, where over 700 million livelihoods are at justification for India's tariffs, trade barriers, and ties with Russia does not stand up to scrutiny, he said, adding that India's tariffs are WTO-compliant, non-tariff barriers are common globally, and discounted Russian oil has helped India manage inflation during global volatility."India is not alone; over 90 countries face similar US pressure. A deal may still emerge, but only on fair terms. For now, India's principled stand has avoided the trap of a one-sided deal -- and that's a success," he added.

U.S. tariff and penalty on Indian goods disappoint garment and textile exporters
The 25% tariff coupled with penalty announced by the U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday for India has thrown the textile and apparel industry into uncertainty. The Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) said the new U.S. tariff rate for India presents a stiff challenge as the U.S. is India's largest market for textile and apparel exports. During January-May 2025, U.S. imports of textile and apparel from India were valued at $4.59 billion, a rise of more than 13% compared with the same period last year ( $4.05 billion). The U.S. has imposed a 35% tariff on exports from Bangladesh and 19%, 20%, and 36% respectively for Indonesia, Vietnam, and Cambodia. 'The lack of clarity on the penalty amount adds to the uncertainty for businesses as planning becomes difficult,' said CITI chairman Rakesh Mehra in a press release. According to S.K. Sundararaman, chairman of the Southern India Mills' Association (SIMA), this is not just about relative rates. 'Ultimately the U.S. consumer will pay more price for his goods and will slowly start buying less. The retailers will put pressure on the suppliers, squeezing their margins. The goods ready for shipments will be the worst hit,' he said. Sanjay K. Jain, chairman of the National Expert Committee on Textiles of the Indian Chamber of Commerce, said the industry was expecting 20% duty. While 25% is manageable, the additional penalty that remains undefined is disappointing. Indian textile and garment exports to the U.S. may still see some growth as China and Bangladesh have relatively higher duties, he said. Mithileshwar Thakur, secretary general of AEPC, said the U.S. constitutes 33% of Indian garment exports and its share in the U.S. garment market increased from 4.5% in 2020 to 5.8% in 2024. The imposition of penalty has thrown things into uncertainty and this should be addressed at the earliest. According to Prabhu Dhamodharan, convenor of Indian Texpreneurs Federation, if the 25% duty continues, India will still be competitive - with a 10% edge over Bangladesh and Cambodia, 5% over Sri Lanka, and 20 - 25% over China. 'We believe ongoing negotiations may still alter the tariff structure. India's strong domestic ecosystem of raw materials and intermediates gives global buyers a compelling reason to prefer India,' he said. 'The CITI anticipates the tariff issue to get resolved following the Bilateral Trade Agreement between India and the U.S.,' added Mr. Mehra.

Rs 5200000000000 Masterstroke by Mukesh Ambani: Plans to launch 'biggest ever IPO' of..., to list this company in stock market by next year
Rs 5200000000000 Masterstroke by Mukesh Ambani: Plans to launch 'biggest ever IPO' of..., to list this company in stock market by next year Biggest Ever IPO: One of the world's richest men Mukesh Ambani is known for his risk-taking abilities and business mind. Every company that is touched by Mukesh Ambani reaches new heights. In a major move, Ambani-led Reliance Industries is planning to launch the biggest IPO in India. The company is mulling introducing its telecom unit, Jio Infocomm, to the public. As per a report by Bloomberg, RIL is gearing up to raise Rs 52,200 crore by selling a five percent stake in the company. The size of the IPO eclipses all domestic IPO records. However, the report states that the plan is still in a very initial stage, and RIL is conducting informal talks with the securities regulator – Securities and Exchange Board of India – to secure approval. The Biggest IPO In India Currently, the news of Jio IPO is making headlines all over and is the talk of the town, but do you know which has been the largest IPO in the country so far? Well, it was the LIC public offering. However, in 2014, Hyundai Motor India became the biggest IPO with its Rs 28,000 crore IPO. The auto company holds the largest on record. With the biggest Jio's mammoth IPO plan's blueprint is getting ready, it could set new record in India by becoming the biggest IPO India has ever seen. SEBI Urged To Relax 25% Minimum Public Shareholding Rule The Bloomberg report states that the Mukesh Ambani company has initiated informal talks with the regulatory body of the capital markets, requesting an exemption from the rule that mandates all Indian companies to maintain a minimum shareholding of 25 percent. RIL has expressed worries that the local market might lack the capacity to handle a larger float, which has led to a request for a waiver. According to the report, the IPO could potentially be launched as soon as next year, although the company has not made any formal announcement regarding this matter yet. Jio Also known as Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited, Jio is one of the major company that dominates the Indian telecom sector. It is the company under Reliance Industries. Launched in 2016, it changed the telecom sector with affordable data and free voice calls. Jio in no time gained millions of users, making it one of India's largest and most influential telecom operators.
