ICICI Prudential Life BSE Enhanced Value 30 Index Fund Launched For Customers Seeking Disciplined Exposure To Value Opportunities

· Investment approach - focus on companies with strong fundamentals and attractive valuations

· Rule-based index strategy enables disciplined and transparent investing

· Diversified exposure across large and mid-cap companies

ICICI Prudential Life Insurance has launched the ICICI Prudential Life BSE Enhanced Value 30 Index Fund for its Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPs). The fund is designed to provide customers with exposure to attractively valued companies from the large and mid-cap universe and build wealth over the long-term.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Manish Kumar, Chief Investment Officer, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited, said, “The ICICI Prudential Life BSE Enhanced Value 30 Index Fund offers a structured and transparent way for customers to participate in equity markets by focusing on companies that are attractively valued relative to their fundamentals.

The fund’s strategy is built on key pillars including value-based stock selection using multiple financial parameters, diversification across sectors, market capitalisation segments, and a disciplined, rule-based investment process with periodic review and rebalancing.

Importantly, this approach enables customers to stay invested with confidence, even during volatile phases, over the long term, while participating in opportunities that may be relatively under-represented.”

As of March 30, 2026, the ICICI PRU BSE Enhanced Value Index has delivered annualised returns of 32% over three years, 28.9% over five years and 19.4% over ten years, reflecting the strength of a disciplined, value-oriented investment approach over market cycles. The fund adopts a passive, index-mirroring strategy, aiming to track the underlying index and provide consistent exposure to value opportunities.

The fund tracks the ICICI PRU BSE Enhanced Value Index, which comprises 30 companies selected from the BSE Large & Mid-cap universe based on valuation parameters such as book value-to-price, earnings-to-price and sales-to-price ratios. This is a customized index aligned to BSE Enhanced Value Index, subject to IRDAI regulatory requirements. The customized index is designed to measure the performance of the 30 companies in the BSE LargeMidCap with the highest valuations based on three fundamental measures - book value-to-price, earnings-to-price and sales-to-price. In case a stock cannot be selected due to regulatory guidelines, the subsequent eligible stock(s) will be selected to maintain a cohort of 30 stocks. The index follows a transparent, rules-based methodology to identify companies with strong underlying fundamentals relative to their market valuations.

The index is reviewed and rebalanced twice a year, ensuring that the portfolio remains aligned with evolving opportunities across sectors. It also incorporates limits on stock and sector exposure to maintain diversification and portfolio balance.

The ICICI Prudential Life BSE Enhanced Value 30 Index Fund will be available through ICICI Prudential Life’s ULIP offerings such as ICICI Pru Signature Assure, SmartKid Assure with ICICI Pru Signature Assure, ICICI Pru Smart Insurance Plan Plus (SIP+) amongst other ULIP products along with Life Cover, available on www.iciciprulife.com. Thus, enabling customers to combine long-term equity participation with life insurance.

Tata Power, Bhutan’s Druk Green Power Corporation Identify The 404 MW Nyera Amari I & II Integrated Hydropower Project For collaboration

* Work has already commenced on the Khorlochhu (600 MW) and Dorjilung (1,125 MW) hydropower projects, together accounting for approximately 35% of the committed portfolio 

Tata Power, one of India’s largest integrated utilities, today announced the signing of an amendment to its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Druk Green Power Corporation Limited (DGPC) to expand their clean energy collaboration in the Kingdom of Bhutan. As per the original MoU dated November 19, 2024, the Parties have decided to collaborate for the development of at least 4,500 MW Hydropower Projects in Bhutan

As per the amendment, a new 404 MW Nyera Amari I & II Integrated Hydropower Project has been identified and added to the existing project pipeline. With this, the total identified hydropower capacity under the partnership increases to 5,033 MW from 4,500 MW earlier. This is in line with Bhutan’s vision for its energy sector to take overall generation capacity to 25,000 MW by 2040 for its energy security and regional energy integration.

This extension in strategic partnership signifies Tata Power's pre-eminence as the most preferred clean energy partner not only in India but also as a regional leader. It will help unleash Bhutan’s great potential for hydropower and its important role in ensuring energy security in the region.

The amendment to the MoU took place in the august presence of Hon’ble Prime Minister of Bhutan Lyonchhen Tshering Tobgay. The agreement was formally signed by Dr Praveer Sinha, CEO & Managing Director, Tata Power, and Chhewang Rinzin, Managing Director, Druk Green Power Corporation Limited (DGPC). Also present at the ceremony were Ms. Anjali Pandey, President – Generation Business, Tata Power, and senior officials from DGPC and DHPC.

Dr. Praveer Sinha, CEO & Managing Director, Tata Power said, “This milestone of expanding our joint hydropower portfolio to over 5,000 MW with DGPC marks a significant step in strengthening our clean energy partnership in Bhutan. The addition of the Nyera Amari project reflects the scale, ambition, and long-term commitment of this collaboration. This strategic partnership is not only pivotal for advancing Bhutan’s economic growth by unlocking its vast hydropower potential but also plays a critical role in enhancing regional energy security. For India, especially during peak summer months when demand continues to reach record highs, such partnerships ensure access to reliable, clean power.”

The projects will be developed with mutually agreed equity participation. Both companies will continue to evaluate and add new hydropower opportunities over time.

Dasho Chhewang Rinzin, MD, DGPC, said, “The expansion of our partnership with Tata Power to over 5000 MW hydropower portfolio marks a defining milestone in Bhutan’s clean energy journey. The inclusion of the 404 MW Nyera Amari I & II Integrated Hydropower Project, alongside key projects such as Khorlochhu (600 MW), Dorjilung (1,125 MW), Gongri Reservoir with Jeri Pumped Storage (2,540 MW), and Chamkharchhu IV (364 MW), reflects the scale and ambition of this collaboration. This partnership will play a pivotal role in unlocking Bhutan’s vast hydropower potential, supporting economic growth, and strengthening regional energy security, while reinforcing Bhutan’s position as a leading clean energy nation.”

On 19 November 2024, with the support of the Royal Government of Bhutan and the Government of India, Tata Power and DGPC entered a strategic partnership with the intent to identify hydropower and solar projects for joint development in Bhutan.

The collaboration covers a portfolio of hydropower projects, including Khorlochhu (600 MW), Dorjilung (1,125 MW), Gongri Reservoir with Jeri Pumped Storage (2,540 MW combined), Chamkharchhu IV (364 MW), and now Nyera Amari I & II (404 MW). This has become the largest partnership between two of the leading power companies of the two nations in Asia's clean energy sector. Both companies have a stellar track record in the energy sector, and a long-standing relationship having worked together for over 15 years.

In addition, Tata Power and DGPC also aim to jointly develop 500 MW of solar PV projects in Bhutan.

Work has already commenced on the Khorlochhu (600 MW) and Dorjilung (1,125 MW) hydropower projects, together accounting for approximately 35% of the committed portfolio of 5 GW

Tata Power’s association with DGPC spans over a decade, beginning with the 126 MW Dagachhu Hydropower Project, which was Bhutan’s first public–private hydropower partnership, commissioned in 2008

Amazon To Expand Its Network Of Ashray Rest Centers To 250 In 2026

Expands its network of air-conditioned rest stops for delivery drivers with the launch of 50 new Ashray centres by the end of May

Over one million visits from delivery drivers across the industry recorded at Amazon Ashray centres in 2025

Amazon India today announced plans to expand its Ashray network to 250 centers by the end of 2026, building on its existing network of 100 facilities across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and other cities nationwide. As part of this expansion, the company plans to launch 50 new centres by the end of May.

Ashray is Amazon's network of dedicated rest centres for all delivery drivers, including those outside of Amazon’s network, equipped with air conditioned seating, drinking water, electrolytes, mobile charging points, clean washrooms, first-aid kids, and comfortable resting space, designed to give delivery drivers a place to rest and recharge during their routes, particularly during peak summer months. The 100 existing centres, located in 16 cities in India, have recorded over one million visits from delivery drivers across the industry in 2025.

Amazon India has also rolled out mobile "Ashray" units — air-conditioned vans that are stationed along high-traffic delivery routes so delivery drivers can access rest and hydration support without needing to travel to a fixed location. These mobile units carry amenities, such as air-conditioned seating, drinking water, electrolytes, Wi-Fi and mobile charging points.

Salim R Memon, Director Operations, Amazon India said, "The health, safety, and wellbeing of associates across our operations network is the topmost priority for us. Ashray was built on a simple idea — that every delivery driver, whether they deliver for Amazon or not, deserves a clean, cool place to rest during their workday. Scaling to 250 centres and taking these facilities directly to delivery drivers through our mobile units is a reflection of that commitment. This is also part of our broader investment of over INR 2,800 crore to strengthen associate safety, health, and wellbeing across our operations network."

Supporting associates across the operations network

Amazon is working with third parties, including Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), Udyasa Foundation and Rural Education and Development (READ) India to set up the new Ashray Centres. This is part of Amazon’s broader efforts to support delivery drivers through initiatives focused on safety, well-being, and access to essential infrastructure. Beyond these centres, Amazon has established facilities within its fulfillment centers, sort centers and delivery stations, including rest areas, break zones, and cafeterias, to support associate well-being.

These efforts form part of its recently announced investment of over INR 2,800 crore, aimed at further strengthening associate safety, health, and financial well-being measures, while continuing to enhance its operations network across the country.

Carlton London Enters India Furniture Market With EBG Group, Plans 600 Franchise Showrooms

Franchise-driven expansion across 300 cities, set to create over 12,000 jobs and boost small business participation in the country

Targets reduction of 16,000 kg carbon footprint annually at scale through circular design and sustainable practices

India’s evolving home interiors landscape is witnessing the entry of a global player as EBG Group partners with British lifestyle brand Carlton London to launch Carlton Luxury Furniture, a first-of-its-kind initiative focused on sustainability, longevity, and conscious living. The partnership was unveiled in the presence of Carl Virk, Founder of Carlton London, and Dr. Irfan Khan, Founder and Chairman of EBG Group, marking a shift toward high-end furniture that combines design with environmental responsibility. Other dignitaries present at the launch were Omkar Navge, CEO, Carlton Wellness Group, Ganesh Kumar, EBG Group Chief Business Strategy officer, Ranjitha.M, CEO, Brillen Space Engineering, and Sathya Verma, CEO, Tarzan.

Backing this vision is a franchise-led expansion plan, with 600 showrooms set to open across 300 major cities over the next five years. The company will scale through a partner-led model, mobilizing investments estimated between ₹1800 and ₹2000 crore from franchise stakeholders. The venture is expected to generate nearly 12,000 jobs while bringing MSME and SME partners into its supply chain.

At the heart of this launch is a strong sustainability vision. Carlton Luxury Furniture is built on the philosophy of responsible luxury, where design excellence goes hand in hand with conscious manufacturing. As part of this commitment, the brand is targeting a reduction of approximately 16,000 kg of carbon footprint annually at scale. This impact will be driven through a combination of sustainable material sourcing, optimized production processes, efficient logistics planning, and long-life product design.

Commenting on the launch, Dr. Irfan Khan, Founder and CEO of EBG Group said, “Carlton Luxury Furniture represents a shift in how India will perceive and invest in furniture. The industry has long focused on short-term consumption with limited attention to longevity or environmental impact. We are introducing a model that combines design with sustainability, where furniture is built to last 10 to 15 years and continues to create value through solutions such as buyback and refurbishment. Our vision is to make conscious living aspirational and accessible at scale. In doing so, we are also working towards a measurable environmental impact, with a targeted reduction of nearly 16,000 kg of carbon footprint annually as we scale this model across India.”

Carl Virk, Founder of Carlton London said, “We have always stood for timeless elegance, superior craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality. Through this partnership with EBG Group, One of the defining highlights of this brand is its strong emphasis on home-grown manufacturing. Every piece is crafted with a strong focus on quality, durability, and refined aesthetics, ensuring that luxury is not only experienced but also responsibly created.”

The collection includes classic Chesterfield sofas, high-back chairs, modern dining sets, and bespoke storage solutions, designed for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Each piece is built for a lifespan of 10 to 15 years and supported by maintenance services.

Namma Bengaluru Drives Together, Spinny’s Breakfast Drive

From Chandigarh, Coimbatore to Bengaluru, Spinny Breakfast Drive grows with people, places, and the simple joy of driving together

After successful editions in Chandigarh and Coimbatore, Spinny’s Breakfast Drive arrived in Bengaluru, bringing together a community of car owners for a relaxed morning of driving, conversation, and time spent together.

The drive began at Esteem Mall in the early hours of the day as Spinny customers, ranging from first-time buyers to long-time owners, came together with their families and set out towards Spinny Park, Yelahanka. With the city just beginning to wake up, the convoy moved through a calmer, more easygoing Bengaluru. The convoy moved through Bengaluru, which felt familiar in its calmness.

Empty roads, soft light, and an unmistakable ease set the tone for the morning, one of those classic Namma Bengaluru starts, with quiet streets, the smell of fresh kaapi in the air, and breakfast that somehow tastes better after a drive.

More than a fixed route, the experience came together through small, meaningful moments. Cars moved together, and so did people. Small conversations at signals, quick waves between vehicles, and an easy sense of being part of the same morning gave the drive a natural rhythm. Somewhere along the way, it stopped feeling like a route and became shared time on the road. Families travelled together, conversations carried on between cars, and children played freely once everyone reached the destination. For many, it was less about the drive itself and more about the chance to spend uninterrupted time with loved ones.

“It was a very good experience to come out with family like this,” shared one participant. Another customer added, “I didn’t expect Spinny to do something like this,” capturing the sense of surprise and delight among attendees.

At Spinny Park, the convoy came together over breakfast, where the pace remained easy and unforced. Conversations flowed, families settled in, and children quickly made the space their own. What stood out was how naturally people lingered, as if no one was in a hurry to leave, with shared laughter and unplanned moments bringing the community closer. The Bengaluru edition carried its own character, simple, warm, and grounded in togetherness.

The experience has been captured in a slice-of-life film featuring customer stories, convoy visuals, and candid breakfast interactions that reflect the morning's warmth and simplicity.

As India’s trusted car home, Spinny continues to build relationships that go beyond transactions. The Breakfast Drive series is part of this effort, creating spaces for customers to engage with their cars, their families, and each other in a more meaningful way, while reinforcing safe and responsible driving practices in an informal, community-led format.

The Bengaluru edition marks another step in this journey, with more city-led drives planned as Spinny continues to take the experience across India.

Because the best drives are the ones that bring people together.

A Celebration Of The Unconditional - Mother's Day Drunch At Layla, The Den Bengaluru

There are relationships that need no grand articulation, ones that have simply always been, as constant as the morning and as quietly essential. Mother's Day, on May 10, is not so much a reminder of that as it is an invitation to sit within it, without agenda, without clock. Layla at The Den Bengaluru answers that invitation with an afternoon that knows its place.

The Mother's Day Drunch is a leisurely, generous affair. The table draws from across the world, a fungi egg station that speaks to the finer instincts of the brunch hour, a fresh pasta wheel turned to order, a gourmet chaat bar that nods warmly to home, and a waffle station that rounds the afternoon with quiet indulgence. Bottomless pours run through it all, easy and well-chosen, as any proper Sunday afternoon rightfully demands.

The greatest tribute, it turns out, is also the simplest. Show up, stay long, and let a well-laid table at Layla do the rest.
