Warren Buffett, world's leading investor, suffers huge loss of Rs 31600000000 in just..., the reason is...
In fact, in the second quarter of 2025, Berkshire Hathaway's profit declined, due to which the company's net profit fell by 59 per cent to $12.37 billion (about Rs 10.79 lakh crore). Whereas last year the company had a profit of $30.25 billion (about Rs 26.38 lakh crore).
Although Buffett has suffered a loss on his stake in Kraft Heinz, he is still in profit because the shares of this packaged food company, formed by the merger of Kraft and Heinz in 2015, have fallen by 62 per cent since then, but it has seen a strong jump of 202 per cent in the S&P 500 index. What other problems is Kraft Heinz facing?
Now Kraft Heinz is also thinking of separating a part of its business because these days the company is facing many challenges. On one hand, due to rising inflation, the company is facing increasing pressure on consumer spending.
Apart from this, people have now become more conscious about their health and have started adopting healthy options of food and drink. In such a situation, customers have started preferring other products instead of Kraft Heinz. Due to this, the company's sales declined last month. In this way, Kraft Heinz is continuously in the loss. What is Berkshire Hathaway's stake in Kraft Heinz?
Berkshire Hathaway has more than a 27 per cent stake in Kraft Heinz. At the end of the June quarter, Berkshire Hathaway reduced its stake in Kraft Heinz to $8.4 billion. Berkshire Hathaway's investment in the company has been continuously decreasing over the last two years. Earlier this year, Berkshire representatives resigned from the board of Kraft Heinz.

Adityanath inaugurates Agra's 'largest' housing project in 36 years
Agra: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday inaugurated the Atal Puram Township project, touted as the Agra Development Authority's "largest" housing initiative in 36 years, officials said. According to an official statement, the project spans across 340 acres and is strategically located at the confluence of the Agra Inner Ring Road, Southern Bypass, and Gwalior Road. The Atal Puram will be developed in three phases across 11 sectors, offering housing for nearly 10,000 families. The plan includes 1,430 residential plots, 18 group housing plots, and 96 commercial plots, it said. World-class infrastructure is being integrated into the township, including underground utility ducts, sewerage systems, and a water treatment plant, the statement said. Additionally, essential public facilities such as a police post, a fire station, and a state-of-the-art convention centre will be constructed, it added. A key highlight of the project is that the Agra Development Authority purchased the land directly from farmers through mutual agreements by offering compensation at four times the prevailing circle rate, the statement said. This land acquisition model reinforces the government's commitment to farmer welfare, it said, adding that the land purchase cost amounted to Rs 784 crore, while an additional Rs 731 crore will be invested in the township's development. The project is a testament to the Adityanath government's vision of planned urban expansion and modern infrastructure, marking a new chapter in Agra's urban transformation, it said.
