After drawing thousands of young supporters to Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has announced its next major protest will be held in Pune on June 11. The movement, led by Abhijeet Dipke, says it will continue its campaign demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged examination irregularities and paper leak concerns.

Organisers claim the Delhi demonstration marked the beginning of a larger nationwide youth movement, with students and supporters from multiple states expected to participate in the Pune gathering. The announcement comes just days after CJP leaders declared that their demands remained unmet following talks and demonstrations in the national capital.

What started as a viral social media campaign has rapidly evolved into an on ground protest movement, with CJP now expanding its presence beyond Delhi. Supporters say the June 11 Pune protest will be another major show of strength as the campaign seeks to build pressure for accountability and education reforms.

India is set to roll out E85 flex fuel, a petrol blend containing 80–85% ethanol, marking another major step in the country’s push toward cleaner and more sustainable transportation. The initial phase will begin at 50 fuel stations across Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur.

The move is part of India’s broader strategy to reduce dependence on imported crude oil, support domestic ethanol production, and lower carbon emissions. Flex fuel vehicles are designed to run on higher ethanol blends, which are considered a cleaner alternative to conventional fuels.

Officials believe the initiative could help strengthen energy security while creating new opportunities for India’s agricultural and biofuel sectors. The launch also reflects the government’s long-term vision of increasing ethanol adoption and accelerating the transition towards greener mobility solutions.

Team India have suffered a major setback ahead of the upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan, with Virat Kohli reportedly ruled out due to a hamstring injury. The star batter was initially named in India's squad but is now expected to miss the three-match series as he continues his recovery.

Kohli was coming off a sensational IPL 2026 campaign, where he played a crucial role in Royal Challengers Bengaluru's title-winning run. However, reports suggest the injury will keep him sidelined, forcing India to rethink its batting combination ahead of the series.

The Afghanistan ODI series is scheduled to begin later this month and was expected to mark Kohli's return to international cricket following the IPL. The BCCI is expected to announce further updates on his recovery and possible replacement soon.

In a move that has sent shockwaves through the transport sector and household budgets, state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) have implemented a nationwide fuel price hike of 3 per litre for both petrol and diesel. This revision marks the first significant increase in over four years and the largest single-day jump since the daily price revision mechanism was introduced in 2017. Following the update, petrol in the national capital has climbed to ₹97.77 per litre, while in Mumbai, it has breached the ₹106 mark, reflecting a structural reset as OMCs move to offset massive under-recoveries caused by the ongoing West Asia conflict.

The price adjustment comes as a direct response to global geopolitical tensions and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which have pushed Brent crude prices to a multi-year high of $114 per barrel. While the government has defended the hike as a "nominal" and necessary adjustment-noting that India's price increase remains among the lowest globally-economists warn of immediate inflationary pressure. Analysts project that the hike could push the Consumer Price Index (CPI) toward 4.1%, with logistics costs expected to surge. Meanwhile, Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) has assured the public that refineries are operating at over 100% capacity to prevent any potential fuel shortages or dry-outs at retail

outlets.

The Indian rupee reached a grim milestone on May 15, 2026, crashing to a historic low of 96.07 against the U.S. dollar for the first time ever. This unprecedented breach of the 96-mark represents a significant psychological and economic shift, as the currency has now depreciated nearly 7% since the start of the year. The intra-day slide highlights the intensifying pressure on India's domestic economy, fueled by a perfect storm of rising energy costs and a shifting global financial landscape that has left the rupee as one of Asia's most vulnerable currencies.

The primary catalyst for this record-breaking tumble is the dramatic surge in global crude oil prices, which have climbed toward $110 per barrel amid escalating conflict in the Middle East and disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz. As the world's third-largest oil importer, India's demand for dollars to pay for energy has skyrocketed, widening the current account deficit and draining the country's foreign exchange reserves. Compounding this issue is the aggressive exodus of foreign portfolio investors, who have pulled out over 2 lakh crore from Indian equities this year in favor of tech-driven markets like South Korea and Taiwan.
