credit offtake, which was largely fuelled by uncollateralised retail advances.

Similarly, loans to nonbank lenders, which climbed 21.5% in November 2023, expanded 7.7% in January 2025.

Audi said Monday it will cut 7,500 jobs by 2029 in Germany, citing «immense challenges» as the country's auto industry battles slowing electric vehicle demand and rising Chinese competition. The cuts — amounting to about eight percent of Audi's global workforce — were aimed at boosting «productivity, speed and flexibility» at its factories in its home market, the manufacturer said. «The economic conditions are becoming increasingly tougher, competitive pressure and political uncertainties are presenting the company with immense challenges,» Audi, a subsidiary of Volkswagen, said in a statement. It is the latest bad news from the ailing auto sector in Europe's biggest economy, which has been hit hard by a stuttering shift to electric cars, fierce competition in key market China from local rivals and weak demand. Audi, headquartered in the Bavarian city of Ingolstadt, said the cuts would be in areas like administration and development and be carried out in a «socially responsible» manner, meaning there would be no compulsory redundancies.

markets COST UPS economy Cycling RBI liquidity boost may lower lending rates sooner than expected

Indian lenders as early as next month. Multiple-and simultaneous-central bank measures to boost systemic liquidity will help reduce the rates on instruments such as certificates of deposit (CD) and commercial paper (CP). Lower capital costs should also bring down lending rates earlier than expected. «The central bank's stance on liquidity management seems to have shifted toward 'accommodative' from 'neutral', as reflected in the large liquidity infusion through multiple tools,» said Soumyajit Niyogi, director-core analytical group at India Ratings. «If this continues, the overall rates in the economy, including lending rates by banks, may start softening.» However, the bet is on short-term rates easing first in FY26, when lower inflation is expected to help prolong the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) easing cycle.

Boeing Food SpaceX hospital testing travelers After nine months in zero gravity—Sunita Williams, Butch Wilmore prepare for a gravity-shocking return

NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry «Butch» Wilmore are set to return to Earth on 18 March after spending over nine months aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Their mission was extended due to propulsion issues with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, which was deemed unfit for their return journey. Instead, the astronauts will be flying back aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, with splashdown expected near the Florida coast. Their journey home marks the end of an unusual mission. Williams and Wilmore had originally travelled to the ISS in June last year as part of the first crewed test flight of Boeing’s Starliner. However, multiple technical issues, including helium leaks and propulsion malfunctions, forced NASA to alter their return plans. The two astronauts were folded into the Crew-9 mission and had to wait for a safe return option.
