PM Modi Likely To Visit US Next Month For UNGA, Hold Talks With Donald Trump: Reports
Last Updated: PM Modi is likely to visit the US in September 2025 for the UNGA and hold talks with Donald Trump over trade issues, multiple media reports claimed. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to visit the United States next month for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and hold high-level talks with President Donald Trump, India Today reported, citing sources. PM Modi and Donald Trump are also expected to address trade issues amid a downturn in bilateral ties, the report claimed. According to The Indian Express, preparations are underway for the Prime Minister's visit in the last week of September, with the ostensible reason being to attend the UNGA in New York. However, the key objective is to meet Trump to iron out differences on tariffs and potentially announce a trade deal, it claimed. (News18 could not independently verify the reports). Last year, despite an initial speaking slot being booked in his name, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar represented India at the UNGA in place of the Prime Minister. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

India's Richest Investors See Up To 42% Surge In Net Worth In June Quarter
Last Updated: Net worth of several of India's richest individual investors surged in June quarter as a stock market rebound helped recover sharp losses The net worth of several of India's richest individual investors surged in the June quarter as a stock market rebound helped recover sharp losses from January to March. Data from shows that the portfolios of the Late Rakesh Jhunjhunwala's family, Mukul Agrawal, Hemendra Kothari, Nemish Shah, and Anil Kumar Goel rose between 12% and 42%. In contrast, Madhusudan Kela and Vijay Kedia saw declines as they trimmed stakes in select companies. The study considered only holdings exceeding 1% of a company's equity; stakes falling below that threshold may still be retained but are not subject to mandatory disclosure. Between March and June, the Nifty gained 8.5%, while the Nifty Midcap 150 and Smallcap 250 indices rose 15% and 17.8%, respectively, prompting several investors to reshuffle portfolios. Mukul Agrawal raised stakes in six companies, including Wendt (India), Tatva Chintan Pharma, and Jammu & Kashmir Bank, while cutting exposure to Zota Health, Infobeans Tech, Tracxn Tech, and Sula Vineyards. The Jhunjhunwala family reduced its holding in Nazara Technologies. Madhusudan Kela pared stakes in Choice International, Indostar Capital Finance, Nazara Tech, Waaree Energies, Samhi Hotels, and Prataap Snacks. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
