2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 Launched In India At Rs 2.40 Lakh; Here's What Changed
TVS Motor has updated the Apache RTR 310 in the Indian market at a starting price of Rs 2.40 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant. Meanwhile, the top variant of the bike will be sold at Rs 2.57 lakh (ex-showroom). The bike comes with multiple updates in terms of features, while there are also aesthetic changes. Along with this, the brand has introduced the Dynamic Kit and the Dynamic Kit Pro to make the bike even sportier. They will be offered at Rs 2.75 lakh and Rs 2.85 lakh (ex-showroom), respectively. Starting with the aesthetics, the design of the 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 remains the same. However, there are some changes. For instance, the brand has added a transparent clutch cover very similar to the one found on the RR 310. Along with it, the paint scheme has undergone some changes with a total of four colour options: Fiery Red, Fury Yellow, Arsenal Black, and Sepang Blue. With the dynamic kit, the owners get a brass-coated drive chain and knuckle guards along with some features. More on that later. Starting with the list of features, the bike in its latest avatar gets a new 5-inch second-gen TFT instrument cluster, sequential turn indicators, drag-torque control, keyless ride, launch control, and cornering torque control. There are also some segment-first features like cruise control and 5 ride modes. With the Dynamic Kit, the owners can get TPMS, preload-adjustable front forks, and a mono shock with various levels of damping adjustment as well. The Dynamic Kit Pro feature list includes keyless ride control, launch control, cornering traction control, cornering ABS control, wheelie control, slope-dependent control, cornering cruise control, rear lift-off control, and cornering drag-torque control. Mechanically, the 2025 TVS Apache RTR 310 is the same, with a 312.12 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine producing 35 hp of power at 9,700 rpm and 28.7 Nm of peak torque at 6,650 rpm. It is paired to a six-speed transmission which now comes with a bi-directional quickshifter.

Sebi proposes to standardize valuation methods of gold, silver ETFs
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has unveiled a consultation paper that proposes to bring sweeping changes to how physical gold and silver held by Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are valued. The proposal, open for public comment until 6 August, seeks to replace the current valuation system, which relies on international prices, with a simpler approach grounded in domestic market realities. Currently, mutual fund houses managing gold and silver ETFs use the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) price in US dollars as the benchmark. This price is then converted to Indian rupees and subjected to a host of adjustments—customs duties, local taxes, and variable premiums or discounts—to reflect Indian market conditions. This multi-layered process has given asset management companies (AMCs) leeway to use different sources and frequencies for making these price adjustments, resulting in a lack of uniformity in the valuation methods. Sebi has now proposed that ETFs instead use spot prices for gold and silver published by Indian commodity exchanges like MCX. These prices are polled from a panel of domestic market participants—importers, traders, jewellers—and are meant to reflect real-time supply and demand within India. 'Presently, different asset management companies (AMC) use different sources of domestic benchmark to apply necessary premium/ discount, which leads to non-uniformity of the valuation practice for gold and silver across the MF industry. Further, in the absence of any regulatory direction, AMCs use their discretion to apply premium/ discount resulting in differences in valuation of gold/ silver," Sebi's consultation paper highlighted. There are various service providers/ index providers in India such as jeweller associations, commodities exchanges etc., which publish spot price of commodities including gold and silver under the domestic market condition, Sebi said. 'The commodity exchanges usually poll the spot prices of gold and silver on a daily basis and this price is used as reference price for physical market transactions in gold/ silver within India,' the Sebi paper highlighted. Exchange Traded Funds, or ETFs, are mutual funds that are tradeable in the stock markets just like stocks. And just like a mutual fund, they track an index, sector, commodity or asset. Surendra Mehta, national secretary at the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), expressed reservations about Sebi's proposal. 'Commodity exchange spot polling prices of gold and silver are declared at 4.30 pm daily only once in a day. Since the gold and silver market are internationally traded commodities and this market remains open 23 hrs a day, calculating gold and silver price based on particular Indian time can lead to a huge gap between international price and domestic spot price polled by exchange," Mehta said, stressing that the ETF valuation price should be based on LBMA price only. 'Further, when the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) uses IBJA) price for issue and redemption of Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGB) and also for lending against jewellery, IBJA price can also be used for valuation purpose by ETF,' he added.

Angel One posts lower quarterly profit on derivative trading curbs
Indian brokerage Angel One on Wednesday posted a 61 per cent fall in first-quarter profit, as tighter rules for equity derivatives trading in India weighed on retail activity, a key driver for the brokerage's earnings. The company's consolidated profit fell to $13.3 million in the three months ended June 30, compared with Rs 293 crore a year earlier. The Securities and Exchange Board of India in October last year raised the entry barrier for derivatives trading by nearly tripling the minimum trading lot size and limiting weekly options contracts to one per exchange, making it more costly to trade in the asset class. The move, aimed at curbing speculative retail trading, raised concerns about near-term pressure on volumes and revenue for brokers heavily reliant on derivatives' turnover. Angel One said in a business update in early July that its gross client acquisition dropped 40 per cent year-on-year in the first quarter, while its overall average daily turnover (ADTO) declined 18 per cent. Revenue from operations fell almost 19 per cent to Rs 1,141 crore, the company reported on Wednesday.
