NEW DELHI: You can loosen your purse strings a little more abroad. Travellers flying into India will now have enhanced duty-free limit, which for resident Indians has been hiked from Rs 50,000 to Rs 75,000. What’s more, duty-free import of one laptop for passengers above 18 years has now been allowed under Baggage Rules, 2026, which came into effect from Feb 2. No general duty-free allowance is available for passengers entering India through land borders, regardless of nationality.Jewellery allowance has also been simplified. “Special allowances for jewellery have been prescribed solely on weight basis by removing outdated value caps, under which eligible returning residents/tourists of Indian origin (after stay abroad for more than one year), are allowed duty-free jewellery purely on a weight basis,” a govt statement said. Men are allowed to import jewellery up to 20 gram duty-free while female passengers can import up to 40 gram.The transfer of residence benefits has also been simplified and modernised by having only a single rationalised list of duty-free articles, with an overall value cap as per eligibility.Duty-free allowance for resident Indians, tourists of Indian origin and foreigners with an Indian visa (other th-an tourist) is now Rs 75,000. For tourists of foreign orig-in, it’s Rs 25,000. For crew me-mbers, the same is Rs 2,500.“The facility of issuance of temporary baggage import certificate or export certificate for temporary carriage of goods brought in or taken out, respectively, have been envisioned for hassle-free clearance,” the govt statement added.Used personal effects like clothes and travel souvenirs are duty-free. New goods like gifts purchases abroad qualify according to new limits. Goods above the duty-free limit are dutiable under normal customs provisions unless specifically exempted by the law. These allowances apply only to goods carried on the passenger’s person or in bona fide baggage.Some items are not part of duty-free allowances and have separate conditions or limits. These include alcohol and spirits beyond specified volumes, tobacco products beyond allowance threshold, gold or silver in forms other than jewellery, and large electronic goods like televisions.
Delhi Capitals produced a dominant all-round performance to book their place in a fourth straight Women’s Premier League final, beating Gujarat Giants by seven wickets in the Eliminator on Tuesday.After choosing to bowl, Delhi’s disciplined attack kept Gujarat to a competitive but manageable 168 for 7. The Capitals struck early through Chinelle Henry, who removed Sophie Devine and later returned to finish with 3 for 35. Nandini Sharma made an immediate impact in her first over, dismissing Anushka Sharma and captain Ashleigh Gardner off successive deliveries to leave the Giants in trouble. Spinners Minnu Mani and Sneh Rana tightened the screws through the middle overs, restricting the flow of runs and forcing Gujarat to rebuild.Beth Mooney held the innings together with a composed unbeaten 62 off 51 balls, hitting six boundaries. She found support from Georgia Wareham, who played a lively 35-run knock as the pair added 61 for the fifth wicket. Mooney later combined with Kashvee Gautam for a late flourish, helping Gujarat add valuable runs in the final overs after struggling for momentum earlier.In reply, Delhi made light work of the chase thanks to a blistering opening partnership. Shafali Verma and Lizelle Lee came out attacking, smashing 89 runs without loss in just a few overs. Verma struck 31 off 21 balls while Lee made 43 off 24, peppering the boundary and putting Gujarat on the back foot. Although Wareham briefly revived Gujarat’s hopes by dismissing both openers in the same over, the damage had already been done.Laura Wolvaardt and skipper Jemimah Rodrigues calmly guided the chase through the middle phase, ensuring there were no further hiccups. Rodrigues scored a fluent 41 while Wolvaardt remained unbeaten on 32. Marizanne Kapp eventually hit the winning runs as Delhi reached the target in just 15.4 overs.The comprehensive win underlined Delhi Capitals’ consistency in the league and set up a final clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday.
NEW DELHI: A day after announcements by PM Modi and US President Donald Trump that the two sides had reached a trade agreement, the govt asserted that sensitive sectors such as agriculture and dairy have been protected and labour-intensive sectors such as textiles, leather, marine products and gems & jewellery stand to benefit from the deal, which is expected to be finalised in the coming weeks.“We all know how PM Modi is worried about the interests of our farmers, those in animal husbandry and dairy, and has always secured their interest. He has never allowed their interests to be compromised… even in the US trade deal, India’s sensitive sectors, agriculture and dairy, have been protected,” commerce minister Piyush Goyal said.As a result, cereals, maize, soybean and genetically modified food may be kept out of the bilateral trade agreement, which has been in the works since last Feb.
Textiles, Leather, Gems & Jewellery Among Sectors Set To Benefit
Goyal said that Modi had managed to secure a very good deal for India, which was better than what US had offered to some other competing countries. Indian and American officials are currently engaged in drafting a joint statement which is expected to be finalised in the next few days.Late Monday, Trump and Modi had announced that a deal had been finalised and tariffs on Indian imports will be slashed from 50% to 18%. Trump had gone on to claim that India will import oil, coal, technology and farm products to the tune of $500 billion from the US. The numbers came as a surprise given that in 2024-25, India’s overall goods imports added up to $721 billion.People familiar with the discussions said that goods imports from the US are projected at $100 billion annually over the next five years, compared with $46 billion last year. Some tariff concessions to the US will be phased over a period of time, with some items likely to be allowed through import quotas, as is the case under the recent FTAs with the EU, New Zealand and the UK.India expected to hike imports of oil, high-tech goods from USIndia had come under pressure from Trump administration to open up its dairy and agriculture sectors by reducing duty. Modi govt didn’t agree, and Goyal’s statement suggests India managed to persuade the US negotiators not to let this become an obstacle.Going forward, India is expected to step up imports of oil, LNG, high-value chips, equipment for data centres, aircraft and its components and nuclear equipment, some of which were allowed to be imported duty free in Budget. Given India’s demand for coking coal, chips and aircraft, some of the imports are already taking place, with some substitution likely.In return, lower duty access to US for Indian goods will help labour-intensive sectors and MSMEs, which had been impacted by steep tariffs imposed by Trump last Aug.“So, actually our exports will pick up now, that is my expectation… along with having found new markets where they will continue to be sold,” FM Nirmala said.
MUMBAI: The D B Marg police on Sunday registered a case against a 75-year-old Agripada businessman, his 18-year-old granddaughter and her minor friend after the underage boy, driving a high-end car registered in the businessman’s name, allegedly lost control and crashed into another vehicle inside the coastal road tunnel in the early hours of Sunday.A person in the other car was injured and was taken to the hospital.He was later discharged after treatment, said police. The police said that the accident took place at around 2am on Sunday and they had received information from the police control room about it. “ The high end car is in the name of the businessman. His granddaughter and her 17-year-old male friend were heading to south Mumbai when the accident happened. They wanted to go to the Gateway of India and took the coastal road,” said a police officer.
He added that the minor boy said that the tyre of the car burst and he lost control. There were three persons in the car ahead and one of them sustained injuries.The granddaughter of the businessman had a driving license, said police, adding that, “We have taken the blood samples of the minor boy. The report is awaited.”The officer also said that it did not seem the minor was drunk. To verify the boy’s claim about the tyre burst, police said they have called the RTO officials to examine the car.Investigators have seized the car.
The atmosphere at the Vadodara International Cricket Stadium was nothing short of electric on Tuesday, as the Delhi Capitals (DC) Women showcased a clinical performance to dismantle Gujarat Giants (GG) Women in the WPL 2026 Eliminator. In a high-stakes encounter that felt more like a masterclass than a knockout game, DC secured a 7-wicket victory with 26 balls to spare. This win marks a historic milestone for the franchise, as they march into their fourth consecutive Women’s Premier League final, leaving fans in a state of absolute euphoria.
Winning the toss and electing to bowl, Delhi Capitals immediately put the pressure on the Giants. While Beth Mooney played a valiant, lone-warrior innings of 62 off 51 balls, she found very little support from the other end. The protagonist of the first innings was undoubtedly Chinelle Henry, whose fiery spell ripped the heart out of the Gujarat batting attack.
Henry struck early, removing the dangerous Sophie Devine for just 6. However, her most lethal contribution came during the death overs. Just as Georgia Wareham (35) and Mooney began to stitch together a recovery partnership of 61 runs, Henry returned to remove Wareham and Bharti Fulmali in quick succession.
The Giants’ middle order crumbled under the disciplined lines of Nandani Sharma (2/44) and the economical brilliance of Minnu Mani (1/23). Despite a late flourish that saw GG reach 168/7, the total felt sub-par on a Vadodara surface that favored the batters. The “Henry Hurricane” finished with figures of 3/35, effectively tilting the scales in Delhi’s favour before the chase even began.
If the first half of the game belonged to the bowlers, the second was a pure exhibition of power-hitting. Delhi Capitals’ openers, Lizelle Lee and Shafali Verma, came out with a clear intent to finish the game early. The pair exploited the Powerplay brilliantly, racing to 75/0 within the first six overs.
Lee was particularly aggressive, smashing 43 off 24 balls, including eight boundaries and a towering six. Although Wareham managed to break the opening stand by dismissing both Lee and Verma (31) in quick succession, the momentum never shifted. The mid-innings phase was expertly managed by captain Jemimah Rodrigues, who played a blistering knock of 41 off 23 balls.
The flow of the game remained entirely one-sided as DC reached the 100-run mark in just 8.5 overs. Following Rodrigues’ departure, Laura Wolvaardt (32) and the seasoned Marizanne Kapp saw the team home with ease. DC finished at 169/3 in just 15.4 overs, scoring at a staggering run rate of 10.78.
As the winning runs were hit, the Vadodara crowd erupted, celebrating a team that has defined consistency in the WPL. With this dominant performance, the Delhi Capitals head into the final as the heavy favourites, looking to finally clinch the silverware that has eluded them in previous seasons.

Travis Kelce’s ex girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, has been in the news ever since the Kansas City Chiefs’ star player went public with his high profile romance with Taylor Swift.While both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce stay private about their romance now, Kayla Nicole’s recent comment might just be another subtle dig at the couple.
A few hours ago, the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end, Travis Kelce’s ex girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, took to her social media to make a post about her dancing to Toni Braxton’s “He Wasn’t Man Enough”.
While many feel her dance was a dig towards Travis Kelce, Kayla Nicole posted a picture alongside other dancers as she wrote, “Still processing this…Best day ever…”As Kayla Nicole danced to Toni Braxton’s “He Wasn’t Man Enough”, a clip of the singer yelling, “Kayla, is he man enough?” has sparked outrage.To make matters worse, a few months ago, Kayla Nicole made a controversial post as she danced to the same song, dressed as Toni Braxton for Halloween 2025. This sparked theories that it was a direct dig at Taylor Swift’s recently released hit track, Opalite.Though Kayla Nicole got heavily trolled for her actions, both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have remained silent about the situation.
Over the last few years, Travis Kelce’s ex girlfriend and popular social media influencer, Kayla Nicole, has often spoken about the relationship she had with the star player. This has led to Kayla Nicole being called “obsessed” about him and his relationship with Taylor Swift.The last time Travis Kelce spoke about Kayla Nicole in public was back in 2022 when their five year old on off relationship came to an end.While the reason behind their break up remains unknown, Travis Kelce confirmed it had nothing to do with money.Travis Kelce had made an appearance on an episode of The Pivot where he said, “I would never say that I was supporting her…She had a very financially stable life and what she was doing in her career.” Soon after, Travis Kelce met Taylor Swift and fell deeply in love with her.
