The MacBook Air M4 is available with up to Rs 17,910 discount offer on Vijay Sales, which is a steal deal for many because this is the latest MacBook Air model from Apple and you will hardly see such a big discount on a new version. People who have been planning to buy the MacBook Air M4 now is probably the best time to buy one because this is the maximum discount you can get on it. Here is how the deal works.advertisementMacBook Air M4 available with Rs 17,910 discount offerThe MacBook Air M4 is listed on Vijay Sales at Rs 91,990 for the 16GB RAM + 256GB SSD version. This is for the Sky Blue model. To recall, this device was introduced at Rs 99,900. This means that consumers are getting a flat discount of Rs 7,910 without any terms or conditions. In addition to this, there is also an extra discount of Rs 10,000 on ICICI, SBI and Kotak bank credit cards. This will effectively reduce the price to Rs 81,990. So, you are getting a total discount of Rs 17,910. MacBook Air M4: Is it worth buying?Apple's new MacBook Air with the M4 chip brings a solid performance boost over earlier models, especially if you are coming from the M1 version. With a 10-core CPU, it packs more power than the M3's 8-core chip. Apple claims it's nearly double the speed of the M1, though the real-world difference from the M3 might be smaller.
There aren't many new features in terms of design or functionality, but the M4 does improve overall efficiency and multitasking. If you are still using an M1 MacBook Air, this could be a good moment to consider switching. The updated version now includes a better 12-megapixel camera with smart features like Center Stage and Desk View. It also supports two external displays, which is great news for users looking for a more capable machine.That said, if you already own an M2 or M3 Air, the performance difference may not be as huge as you might be expecting in everyday tasks. Benchmark tests show that the M4 chip is about 25-30 per cent faster in CPU performance and offers roughly 21 per cent improvement in GPU power compared to the M3. So unless your laptop feels slow or your work involves heavy processing, the upgrade might not be a must.For new buyers or anyone still holding on to older Intel or M1 models, the M4 MacBook Air is a solid deal. With discounts like 7,910 off and additional Rs 10,000 card offers, it is a powerful laptop that will remain future-ready for years. But those already on newer MacBooks might want to hold off unless there's a clear need for more power.- Ends

Explained: How Jane Street made a staggering Rs 735 crore profit in Indian markets in just a day? SEBI reveals details of ‘manipulation' strategy

SEBI investigation into Jane Street profits highlights worrying aspects about India's derivatives market structure. (AI image) Jane Street Group, the US trading powerhouse that was slapped with a trading ban in Indian markets on Friday, made a whopping Rs 735 crore single-day profit during a January 2024 trading session, according to a SEBI order published that day. The substantial earnings were part of Jane Street's total profits of Rs 36,502.12 crore across various market segments in India from January 2023 to March 2025. SEBI's detailed investigation specifically highlights January 17, 2024, when the organisation allegedly implemented a sophisticated "Intra-day Index Manipulation" scheme involving the Bank Nifty index and its components, resulting in significant gains from index options, according to an ET report. What did Jane Street do to make Rs 735 crore single-day profit? On January 17, 2024, the Bank Nifty index commenced trading considerably lower at 46,573.95, down from its previous closing value of 48,125.10. "Media reports claimed that this fall may be attributed to the market's apparent disappointment with the results announced by HDFC Bank after market close on January 16, 2024," SEBI noted. The regulatory body identified a dual-phase approach that enabled Jane Street to accumulate a net profit of Rs 734.93 crore within several hours of trading. During the initial trading period—"Patch I"—the organisation allegedly purchased Bank Nifty constituent stocks and futures valued at Rs 4,370 crore, which SEBI noted was considerable relative to typical market trading volumes. These acquisitions resulted in price increases, causing market participants to incorrectly interpret it as a market recovery. "At a time when participants in index options markets are misled by the above support for Nifty Bank, JS Group builds effectively Rs 32,114.96 crores of bearish positions in the much more liquid Nifty Bank index options by buying cheap Put options and selling expensive Call options," the order said. During the subsequent phase—"Patch II"—Jane Street disposed of almost all its long-term holdings. "The sales are aggressive, in a manner that pushes down prices in the component stocks and hence the index. JS Group books losses in intraday cash/ futures market trading," the SEBI order alleged. The profits generated from index options significantly outweighed the equity losses. When the Bank Nifty index declined from its morning peak, put options increased substantially in value whilst call options decreased. "Profits in index options more than compensate for the JS Group's losses in intraday cash/futures trading," SEBI said. Jane Street 'Manipulation' Pattern Jane Street employed identical "Intra-day Index Manipulation" tactics during 15 out of 18 days under SEBI's scrutiny. For the remaining three instances, they implemented an "Extended Marking the Close" approach, which continued for three additional days in May 2025, even after receiving SEBI's warning notice.

Explained Following a National Stock Exchange advisory in February 2025, the "JS Group persisted with similar trading activities, disregarding both the Exchange's cautionary communication and their own pledges," as stated by the regulatory authority. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo While the NSE concluded its investigation, SEBI took stringent measures. The regulator issued orders on Friday prohibiting Jane Street and four related entities from participating in Indian securities trading, whilst directing banks to restrict their account withdrawals. Additionally, SEBI initiated proceedings to seize Rs 4,840 crore in purported unlawful profits. The investigation highlights worrying aspects about India's derivatives market structure, where global entities utilising sophisticated algorithms and high-speed trading techniques compete against individual retail options investors. SEBI's investigation revealed Jane Street's dominant position, noting they "consistently running what appeared to be by far the largest risks in 'cash equivalent' terms in F&O particularly on index option expiry days. " The regulatory body emphasised the substantial magnitude of Jane Street's market activities in cash and futures segments. They observed that the firm understood that Nifty Bank would likely decline by day's end, considering their planned strategy to aggressively liquidate their morning acquisitions and beyond. SEBI pointed out that other market participants remained uninformed about these developments, leading them to engage in transactions whilst the Nifty Bank index was being artificially sustained at elevated levels temporarily.
