Bad news for Mukesh Ambani as loses Rs 660000000000 due to…, not US, but EU finds way to kill Russian oil
The European Union has imposed a ban on the import of Russian oil from third countries which means no EU nation can now import Russian-origin crude or refined products irrespective of where it is processed or shipped from. This move can impact India, which was exporting around $15 billion of refined petroleum products annually to European markets. With this new restriction, that entire revenue stream is now at risk. EU's Move Hits India Hard In recent weeks, former U.S. President Donald Trump had made statements of curbing trade in Russian oil, but they had little impact on countries like India and China. However, the EU's latest decision has given a serious blow to Mukesh Ambani. On Monday, after the EU's announcement, Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) shares declined over 3%, wiping out more than Rs 66,000 crore in market capitalisation. The new EU rule bans the import of Russian oil, even if it is refined in a third country like India. This directly affects companies like Reliance Industries, one of India's largest exporters of refined crude oil products to Europe. India's Oil Trade With Russia and Europe According to reports, India exported $19.2 billion worth of petroleum products to the EU in FY24. However, in FY25, this number dropped by 27.1% to $15 billion, after growing scrutiny over the origin of crude used. At the same time, India imported $50.3 billion of crude oil from Russia in FY25, so Russian oil now accounts for over 44% of India's total crude basket. Big Blow To Reliance Industries The impact can be seen on Reliance Industries, which has become the largest importer of Russian crude oil. In December 2024, RIL signed a 10-year deal with Russia's Rosneft to import around 500,000 barrels per day of Russian crude at around $13 billion annually. This move helped RIL to refine the cheaper Russian crude and export the high-margin products, especially diesel, to Europe. As of October 2024, Reliance was importing an average of 405,000 barrels per day from Russia which was over one-third of its total crude oil intake. With Russian crude priced $3–4 per barrel cheaper than Middle Eastern grades, RIL had been benefiting from healthy refining margins and strong demand in European markets. But the EU's ban has now threatens this business model. Reliance Industries Lost 66,000 Crore After the EU's decision, Reliance shares fell sharply. On the BSE, RIL stock closed at Rs 1,428.20, down 3.29% from the previous close. During the session, it hit a day's low of Rs 1,423.05. The stock had opened at Rs 1,474.95, slightly below its previous close of Rs 1,476.85. The decline resulted in a massive hit to Reliance's market capitalisation. On Friday, the company's market cap was at Rs 19,98,543.22 crore. By the end of Monday's trading session, it had fallen to Rs 19,32,707.74 crore which was a drop of Rs 65,835.48 crore in a single day.

Uber rolls out new feature letting women avoid male riders and drivers — here's how it works
Uber is taking a significant step toward improving women's comfort and safety on its platform. Starting next month, a new feature will allow female riders and drivers to be matched only with other women. The pilot program will be launched in three cities in the United States as part of a larger safety initiative. The pilot, which will launch next month in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit, is based on similar international programs. Although not guaranteed, the feature aims to give women more control and options on the ride-hailing platform.

Women-only matches will be an option in the app settings for Uber drivers and riders in some U.S. cities starting next month. Women who use the app can choose to only be paired with other women for driving and riding. This lets women drivers choose to pick up only women passengers, and it also lets women riders choose to ride with women drivers, as per a report by CNBC News. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like War Thunder - Register now for free and play against over 75 Million real Players War Thunder Play Now Undo The company says that matches can't be guaranteed because of availability, but this feature makes it much more likely that women who use Uber will be paired with each other. It works for both last-minute bookings and rides that have been planned ahead of time, which gives women more freedom and control over their trips. What made Uber decide to add this safety feature now? Live Events The choice comes after years of feedback from users and more and more calls for safer ride-hailing spaces, especially for women. Camiel Irving, Uber's VP of operations in the U.S. and Canada, said in a statement, "It's about giving women more options, more power, and more comfort when they ride and drive." After a number of reports of harassment and assault on its platform, Uber has been under pressure to make it safer. The new feature is part of the company's larger goal to make driving and riding safer, especially for groups that have historically felt unsafe. What other safety features has Uber added lately? This isn't the first time Uber has tried to deal with gender-based preferences. In 2019, the company started a similar program in Saudi Arabia after women were allowed to drive. It later added the feature to almost 40 other countries. Uber has also added a number of other safety features in the past few years, such as real-time ride verification with PINs, more thorough background checks, and teen accounts with built-in parental controls. Lyft, its biggest rival, added a similar pairing option for women and nonbinary users in 2023, as per a report by CNBC News.

Users will be paying close attention to how the pilot changes the experience on the road as it rolls out. FAQs What is Uber's new woman-only feature? It allows women to ride with or drive only other women for increased comfort and safety. Where is the feature being tested? The pilot will be available in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit next month.
