India, Israel Launch Free Trade Agreement Talks; Aim For USD 40 Billion Trade Boost

Tel Aviv, Nov 20 (PTI) India and Israel on Thursday inked terms of reference (ToR) to formally launch negotiations for a free trade agreement, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said. The ToR include market access for goods by eliminating tariff and non-tariff barriers, investment facilitation, simplification of customs procedures, increasing cooperation for innovation and technology transfer, and easing norms to promote trade in services. "We have signed the ToRs today. Now we will soon finalise the dates for starting the negotiations for that," Goyal told reporters here. Goyal, who is leading a 60-member business delegation to Israel, met leaders and businesses to discuss ways to boost bilateral trade and investments. He said that services such as IT, tourism and movement of skilled professionals will get a boost from the proposed pact. Both countries will make a bridge for the movement of skilled professionals like doctors, engineers and nurses, he added. The TOR was signed by Goyal and Israeli Economy and Industry Minister Nir Barkat. Goyal said that the Israeli side has conveyed that they will not seek market access in sensitive areas such as dairy, rice, wheat and sugar. He also informed that Israel has come out with pre-qualification documents for a metro project. It is a USD 50 billion (Rs 4.5 lakh crore) worth project and Indian companies can participate in this, Goyal said, adding that at present, in over 20 cities, India has metro lines. India and Israel had been negotiating a similar agreement since May 2010. Eight rounds were held, but talks stalled later. The last round was held in October 2021. "We have already agreed that whatever will be the sensitivities of Israel, India will keep out that from the agreement and similarly, whatever is sensitive for India, Israel will keep that," he said, adding, "We want a win-win agreement for both the countries". During 2024-25, India's exports to Israel dipped 52 per cent to USD 2.14 billion from USD 4.52 billion in 2023-24. Imports, too, fell 26.2 per cent to USD 1.48 billion last fiscal year. The bilateral trade stood at USD 3.62 billion. India is Israel's second-largest trading partner in Asia. Though bilateral merchandise trade is dominated mainly by diamonds, petroleum products, and chemicals, recent years have witnessed an increase in trade in areas such as electronic machinery and high-tech products, communications systems, and medical equipment. Major exports from India to Israel include pearls and precious stones, automotive diesel, chemical and mineral products, machinery and electrical equipment, plastics, textiles, apparel, base metals and transport equipment, and agricultural products. Imports include pearls and precious stones, chemical and mineral/fertiliser products, machinery and electrical equipment, petroleum oils, defence, machinery, and transport equipment. "The FTA will open the doors for greater market access, flow of capital, ..both in goods and services, remove obstacles in doing business, provide clarity and predictability to our economic engagement," Goyal said. In September, both countries inked a Bilateral Investment Agreement (BIA), under which India reduced the local remedies exhaustion period for Israeli investors to 3 years from 5 years. During April 2000 and June 2025, India received USD 337.77 million foreign direct investment (FDI) from Israel. When asked about the boost the FTA will give to the bilateral trade, Barkat indicated a 10-fold increase. Goyal said it can help push trade to USD 30-40 billion over the next five years. Barkat added that he would like Israeli companies to invest in India as the country can become a centre to serve the whole of Asia for Israeli firms. "India is one of the best friends that Israel has around the world," he said, adding Israel has technologies to boost productivity, and it can share that with India. He added that Israeli companies understand the potential of India and "We have to make the ecosystem simple".

If You Missed Cardano (ADA) at $0.002, This New Crypto Could Be Your Second Chance

For investors still kicking themselves for missing Cardano (ADA) at $0.002, a new opportunity is emerging that could feel like a second chance. As traders hunt for the top crypto to buy and the next breakout crypto to buy now, attention is shifting towards Mutuum Finance (MUTM), which combines early-stage access with tangible utility and strong community momentum. The DeFi token is currently in Phase 6 of its presale at $0.035, with over 90% already sold out. Unlike speculative coins that rely solely on hype, Mutuum Finance is building a fully functional non-custodial lending and borrowing protocol designed to reward users through interest-bearing tokens and liquidity pools. For those who missed earlier generational opportunities like ADA, Mutuum Finance offers a chance to get in early on a project with both real DeFi fundamentals and explosive growth potential, positioning it as the top crypto to buy today. Cardano Navigates Key Support Amid Short-Term Bearish Pressure Cardano (ADA) is currently showing a clear short-term bearish bias, trading between a near-term high of $0.5154 and critical support around $0.5026. Price consolidation near $0.5074 suggests that the market is cautiously testing these levels, with downward momentum visible on the 15-minute chart. A decisive break below $0.5026 could push ADA toward the $0.500–$0.5003 zone, while a bullish reversal above $0.5121 might open the door back to $0.5154 or even $0.5252, though current indicators favor sellers. Traders are advised to maintain protective risk management around these swing points due to ongoing volatility. For investors watching established tokens like ADA, these cautious movements often redirect attention toward emerging projects with early growth potential, where innovation and momentum, such as that seen with Mutuum Finance (MUTM), are beginning to attract significant interest and becoming the crypto to buy now for early-stage gains. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Gears Up for Growth Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is emerging as a high-potential crypto asset, widely regarded as a hyper-growth project and one of the top crypto to buy for early investment opportunities. The platform has already progressed through multiple development stages, including a highly successful presale, which attracted over 18,080 holders and raised more than $18.8 million. Currently, Mutuum Finance is in Phase 6 of its presale, with tokens priced at $0.035. With over 90% of Phase 6 already sold, this highlights the strong demand and scarcity of the token. Once Phase 7 begins, the price will rise to $0.040, representing a 20% increase from the current phase. This growth trajectory makes MUTM the crypto to buy now, offering early investors the potential for significant gains as the platform continues to mature and establish dominance in the DeFi and broader crypto ecosystem. Mutuum Finance combines innovation with real-world utility, giving investors multiple reasons to participate early and benefit from the platform’s growth. This strong foundation makes it the top crypto to buy for investors who want both security and potential upside. Leading in DeFi Security To ensure the reliability and safety of its platform, Mutuum Finance partnered with CertiK, a leading blockchain security company, to conduct a comprehensive audit of its smart contracts. This audit not only validates the effectiveness and functionality of the platform but also demonstrates Mutuum Finance’s commitment to safeguarding investors’ assets. By implementing this level of security, the platform establishes trust and credibility within the DeFi space, offering investors confidence in their holdings, something that many other unverified projects cannot provide. Mutuum Finance stands out as a crypto project that combines credibility, security, and innovation, while also rewarding early adopters, making it a compelling choice for investors seeking both safety and growth potential. Mutuum Finance has raised $18.8M, attracted 18,080+ investors, and sold over 90% of Phase 6 at $0.035. Phase 7 rises to $0.040, making this the last chance to buy at presale pricing. With Ethereum-based DeFi utility, CertiK-audited smart contracts, and a growing community, MUTM is the crypto to buy now for early-stage growth potential.

Despite Pollution Concerns, Mini Banks On Rising Convertible Demand In India

Given Delhi's AQI now, it seems convertibles make zero sense for our climate as well as the roads, but convertible sales have been seeing a steady rise amongst the affluent buyers. The buyers are using these cars for occasional drives and not as a practical car, which explains our climate as well as pollution, not making sense for convertibles. However, Mini thinks otherwise as its new Convertible puts the focus on open top driving but with an electrically operated roof which can open/close in 18 seconds along with a new design language. Like the coupe, the convertible looks cool and has the same compact proportions with 17-inch wheels plus the tail-lamps having Union Jack detailing, of course. The engine also continues to be the same 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, just as on the hardtop, while performance is only a bit slower than the coupe. Convertibles typically have less performance than their coupe siblings, but with modern technology, the gap has narrowed, and with an electric folding roof, a downpour can be of no issue since it will take a few seconds to close the roof. Convertibles add to the sense of occasion, which make them popular which means you don't need to drive fast to enjoy these cars and of course, you can drive them like a coupe most of the time. In India, the Mini Convertible would be one of the most attainable convertibles since it would be priced lower than anything else on the market. We will know the exact pricing as well as the specifications soon for the new Convertible.

Sonu Nigam Uses AI To Sing A Duet With Mohammed Rafi At Kashmir Concert. Watch

Sonu Nigam blended nostalgia with cutting-edge tech during his recent concert at Kashmir’s Sher-i-Kashmir International Convocation Complex (SKICC). In a stirring tribute to Mohammed Rafi, the singer recreated the legendary playback icon’s voice using AI and performed a live duet with him — a moment that left the audience stunned and teary-eyed. A fan who attended the show shared a clip online, and the video has since been winning hearts across social media. Sonu Nigam performs duet with Mohammed Rafi's voice using AI As the clip went viral, listeners praised the breathtaking mix of memory and modernity, calling the moment nothing short of magical. One fan who posted the video wrote, “I don’t know how many people can relate to this… but this is god himself.. what Sonu Nigam did tonight was nothing more than making us feel his divine presence #rafifanforlife.”           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Pari (@pa_ri4394) Netizens react Comments quickly poured in under the clip. “This is absolutely Legendary ❤️🙌😍,” wrote one user. Another added, “Getting to see this concert live is a whole different level of magic ✨ You’re truly blessed to experience this concert in person ❤️🙌.” A fan summed up the emotion by saying, “When technology becomes pure emotion.” Curiosity also sparked online, with a few wondering how the duet was created. “Was it Sonu’s voice prerecorded for Rafi or did he use AI to recreate Rafi’s voice?” one user asked. Another wrote, “Wow 😲best moment ever ❤️❤️❤️ Mo Rafi vs Sonu Nigam best AI video.” Echoing many sentiments, a user wrote, “The right way to use AI. How lovely ❤️.” Sonu Nigam on use of AI In an interview with The Indian Express, Sonu spoke about AI’s growing role in music and the recreation of iconic voices like Rafi and Kishore Kumar. Reflecting on the question, he said, “AI should be treated as an assistant, not as your boss. It’s a tool that can support creativity, but it should never replace the human soul that gives music its true essence.” The Kashmir concert held added significance as it unfolded against the scenic Dal Lake with the Zabarwan Mountains towering in the backdrop — and was the first event of its scale in the region since the Pahalgam attack. Sonu Nigam has also kicked off his Satrangi Re tour this month, covering seven cities including Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Ahmedabad, Shillong and Delhi.

LivLive Launches a 200% Bonus Outshining Solana and Cardano Hype as the Best Crypto to Buy in Q4 2025

As Q4 2025 kicks off, the crypto market is buzzing with activity. Solana continues to dominate conversations around high-performance chains, while Cardano builds momentum through a growing wave of enterprise and government-focused adoption. Yet despite these heavyweight contenders, one emerging presale has managed to capture investor attention more than any other: LivLive ($LIVE). With the launch of its massive 200% Mega Bonus, LivLive has positioned itself as one of the most compelling opportunities of the quarter, raising the question of whether it now stands as the best crypto to buy in Q4 2025. LivLive ($LIVE): Stealing the Spotlight in Q4 LivLive is redefining how users interact with crypto by building a real-world rewards ecosystem powered by augmented reality and gamification. Instead of limiting utility to on-chain activity alone, LivLive transforms everyday behaviors into earning opportunities. Walking, shopping, attending events, exploring locations or engaging with brands all convert directly into $LIVE token rewards. This gives LivLive a much broader appeal than traditional blockchain projects, opening the door for mainstream adoption beyond typical crypto audiences. With the presale already surpassing 2.1 million dollars and continuing to accelerate, LivLive has emerged as one of the most promising early-stage tokens of the year. The day-to-day earning potential and its focus on real-world use give it a narrative that stands out from purely technical chains like Solana and Cardano. The 200% Mega Bonus That Outshines the Market The announcement that fueled LivLive’s rapid surge in Q4 was the introduction of its 200% Mega Bonus. Investors contributing more than 2,000 dollars can now use the BOOST200 code to instantly triple their token allocation. In a presale landscape where bonuses are typically conservative and short-lived, LivLive’s approach is aggressive and investor-focused, creating a rush of demand from those seeking maximum early-stage exposure. This bonus, combined with LivLive’s projected launch price near 0.25 dollars, has created a compelling upside narrative. Early contributors are effectively buying at one of the lowest possible price points before the ecosystem rolls into its next phase. For many investors, this bonus alone has positioned LivLive as one of the strongest contenders for the best crypto buy of the final quarter of 2025. Solana: Strong Momentum but Limited Early-Stage Upside Solana remains one of the strongest large-cap assets in the market. Its lightning-fast transactions, expanding dApp ecosystem and dominance in DeFi and memecoin activity have all kept it firmly in the spotlight. In Q4, Solana is benefiting from continued institutional interest and increased usage across retail trading, but it sits in a different category compared to presale projects like LivLive. The challenge for investors is simple: Solana is already a top-tier asset with a massive market cap. While its long-term outlook remains bullish, the opportunity for exponential growth is naturally capped compared to early-stage projects. SOL doubling or tripling during the next bull wave is realistic, but it doesn’t offer the same 50x or 100x narrative that new presales can deliver. This is one of the reasons investors seeking high-multiplier potential are looking beyond major chains and into presales like LivLive instead. Cardano: Expanding Ecosystem, Slower Returns Cardano continues to move steadily forward through strong academic foundations, government-backed initiatives and identity-related blockchain solutions. Its ecosystem growth in 2025 has been driven by real-world partnerships and steady development, establishing it as one of the more reliable long-term blockchain networks. However, Cardano’s token performance tends to be slower and more measured compared to Solana’s volatility or new presale surges. While ADA provides a stable and fundamentally sound investment option, it lacks the high-velocity upside that many investors are seeking in Q4. This contrast is part of why LivLive’s explosive bonus and early-stage positioning are drawing investors who want larger growth potential than ADA can reasonably deliver in the short term. Conclusion Solana and Cardano remain two of the most respected and reliable blockchain ecosystems in the industry, each with strong roadmaps and solid adoption. But when it comes to pure upside potential in Q4 2025, LivLive has taken center stage. Its blend of real-world earning mechanics, rapidly growing presale and the powerful 200% Mega Bonus have positioned it as one of the standout opportunities of the quarter. For investors seeking high-growth, early-entry opportunities rather than slower large-cap gains, LivLive now stands out as one of the best cryptos to buy in Q4. With momentum building and bonuses still active, LivLive may be setting itself up as the most exciting presale, and potentially the top-performing new token, heading into 2026.

Non-Smoker Lung Cancer Is Rising Fast: Expert Reveal The Hidden Triggers We’re Missing

{By: Dr Sachin Almel} Lung cancer has long been synonymous with smoking but an increasingly concerning trend has emerged: a significant proportion of lung cancers are occurring in people who have never smoked. Roughly 10–20% of lung-cancer cases fall into this category. Globally, and particularly in parts of Asia, that figure may be even higher. ALSO READ: How Indian Men Are Redefining Self-Care With Modern Cosmetic Procedures Why Is This Happening? A combination of changing risk landscapes and under-recognised exposures is driving this shift. Environmental Exposures: Air-pollution, especially fine particulate matter and diesel exhaust, is increasingly implicated in non-smoker lung cancer. For example, one study linked rising rates of lung cancer among never-smokers to air-pollution exposure. Indoor pollutants matter too: radon gas, asbestos, arsenic, and household cooking fumes (especially from biomass or poorly ventilated stoves) are known risk factors. Second-Hand Smoke: Even if the individual never smoked, exposure to tobacco smoke from others remains harmful. Some analysis estimate that 15%-35% of lung cancers in never-smokers may be attributable to passive smoking. Genetics And Biology: Lung cancers in never-smokers often represent a different “entity” biologically. They are more likely to present as adenocarcinoma subtype and more frequently show driver mutations such as EGFR or ALK rearrangements. Demographics Shifting: Women and people of East Asian descent make up a disproportionate share of lung cancer in never-smokers. One large analysis found 15.7% of women with lung cancer had never smoked versus 9.6% of men. What Are We Missing? Despite these trends, there are gaps in awareness, screening, diagnosis, and prevention: Awareness: Many non-smokers still perceive lung cancer as a smoker’s disease, delaying suspicion and diagnosis when symptoms occur. Screening Limitations: Current lung-cancer screening guidelines centre around smoking history; never-smokers often do not qualify, despite growing absolute risk.  Under-Measured Exposures: Indoor air quality, radon, cooking smoke, occupational exposures, especially in low/middle-income settings, are poorly quantified and often overlooked in risk-assessment. Prevention Foccus: Because smoking is so dominant as a cause, preventive efforts tend to focus there; other exposures receive less attention. What Should Clinicians And Public Health-Systems Do? Maintain Vigilance: For non-smokers presenting with persistent cough, chest discomfort, or unexplained respiratory symptoms, lung cancer must remain on the differential, even in the absence of a smoking history. Expand Risk-Assessment: Ask about indoor/outdoor air-pollution exposure, radon in homes, cooking-fuel use, occupational exposures, second-hand smoke, and family history. Advocate For Policy And Environment: Improving indoor-air ventilation, reducing biomass-fuel cooking, testing for radon, controlling ambient air pollution, all are critical. Encourage Molecular Profiling: Lung cancer in never-smokers is more likely to harbor actionable mutations; early genomic testing is especially important to guide therapy. Educate Public And Professionals: Shift the mindset from “only smokers get lung cancer” to a broader risk-recognition that includes non-smokers.  [Disclaimer: The information provided in the article is shared by experts and is intended for general informational purposes only.

Why Tata Sierra Isn't A 3 Door SUV Like The Original? 

The new Tata Sierra is the successor to the iconic 3-door model but isn't exactly following in its foot steps.  The first Sierra was a 3 door SUV and was more of a lifestyle car while not being a mainstream success.  However, in those days it was ahead of its time but now the circumstances have changed.  The new Sierra has a different agenda now and would be rivalling Creta with the main aim of being another volume seller like Nexon.  Tata wants a slice of the Creta pie and the Sierra has been it's biggest bet.  Hence, clearly, the reason why the new Sierra is not a 3 door is because no one will buy one and a 5 door is more practical for the Indian market.  Why Does A 5-Door SUV Make More Sense? A 5 door makes sense in terms of space and rear passengers while being a more mainstream product.  The original Sierra was a halo product and not being something to gain sales but the new Sierra is now tasked with the agenda of taking Tata Motors further.  The 4.3m length and the 5 door shape is because Tata wanted to make it more practical along with changing the all glass feature to something more practical.  The original Sierra in today's world would not be possible and would not make financial sense but Tata have managed to keep some of the essence with the new model. Hence, it is no surprise that the new Sierra is a 5 door model and not a 3 door like the original.
