If you plan to buy a car in the new year, you may have to pay a higher price. In response, Mercedes-Benz India announced to increase the prices of its vehicles by 2% from January. The company cited rising operating costs and continued weakness of the Indian rupee against the euro as the main reasons for this change in price. According to the company, this limited price increase reflects foreign exchange pressure on the luxury car industry in 2025. Key challenges facing companies: Weak rupee: According to the company’s MD and CEO, Santosh Iyer, currency challenges have persisted longer than expected. The Euro is still trading above ₹100, which remains volatile for a longer period. Rising costs: The weakening rupee makes imported components (be it for local production or fully built CBU vehicles) more expensive. Supply chain pressure: This Pune-based company said that the current foreign exchange situation has created a lot of cost pressure in the supply chain. Second input costs: Rising input costs, commodity prices, logistics expenses and general inflation also put pressure on the company’s profit. Company’s position and customer relief The company also clarified that its localization strategy helped to offset a large part of the cost increase, but this price adjustment became necessary to ensure long-term operational sustainability. To give relief to the customers, Iyer said that due to the continuous reduction in the repo rate by the RBI, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services is able to provide relief to the customers in interest rates. This will significantly reduce the impact of price increases. Industry Trend Mercedes-Benz India is not alone in raising prices due to rising costs. According to sources, BMW India had earlier announced plans to increase the prices of vehicles from January, citing the weak rupee, which shows the increasing cost pressure in the industry. It is possible that local companies can also do the same. Therefore, the purchase of cars can become more expensive from the beginning of the new year. Share this story Tags

A recent study has warned that consuming large amounts of energy drinks may increase the risk of stroke. The researchers said they were treating a man in his 50s who was in good health, but he used to drink 8 cans of energy drinks a day, which resulted in him suffering from severe high blood pressure. The researchers explained in a report published by the journal BMJ Case Reports that the case has prompted a call for stricter regulation of sales and advertising of energy drinks, especially given their huge popularity among young people. The man suffered a stroke in the thalamus, which is the part of the brain responsible for sensation and movement, and he showed symptoms of weakness on the left side of the body, numbness and problems with balance, walking, swallowing and speaking, which together are symptoms known as ataxia. The average blood pressure when he entered the hospital was 254/150 mm Hg, which is a very high level. Doctors began treating him with blood pressure-lowering medication, and his systolic blood pressure, which reflects the pressure of the arteries as the heart pumps, had already dropped to 170 millimeters of mercury, but when he returned home, his blood pressure rose again and remained high, despite intensification of drug treatment. Upon further investigation, the researchers discovered that the man was drinking an average of 8 cups of energy drinks per day, each containing 160 milligrams of caffeine, which is equivalent to 1,200-1,300 milligrams of caffeine per day, while the maximum recommended daily intake is only 400 milligrams. The doctors asked the patient to stop this habit, after which his blood pressure returned to its normal level, and he no longer needed medication to lower blood pressure, but the patient did not regain full sensation in his left side. The patient said: “I was not aware of the dangers energy drinks posed to myself. I have had numbness in my hand, left side and toes for 8 years.” The researchers pointed out that men’s lack of awareness of the dangers of energy drinks on the heart and blood vessels is not surprising, as they are not usually considered a potential risk of cardiovascular disease. They explained that in the year 2018, major supermarkets in Britain implemented a voluntary ban on the sale of energy drinks to those under the age of 16 in the context of combating obesity, diabetes and tooth decay, but few studies have addressed the potential dangers of energy drinks on heart disease, including ischemic and hemorrhagic conditions that are expected to be among these conditions that will be less prescription. The researchers explained that energy drinks typically contain more than 150 milligrams of caffeine per liter, in addition to a high content of glucose-based sugar and variable amounts of other ingredients such as taurine, ginseng, guarana and glucuronolactone, which can increase the effect of caffeine on the body, pointing out that this stated caffeine content represents “other caffeine content” like guarana, which is believed to contain caffeine at a concentration twice that of a pill. Coffee. Researchers confirmed that the interaction between these different components with caffeine can increase the risk of stroke and heart disease through several mechanisms, including a sudden increase in blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia and narrowing of blood vessels. The researchers warned that excessive consumption of energy drinks, even among relatively healthy people, can lead to dangerously high blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for strokes and heart attacks, and explained that such cases emphasize the need to increase awareness of the cardiac dangers of energy drinks, especially among young people who are prone to consuming it in large quantities because they believe it is safe. The researchers confirmed that imposing stricter restrictions on the sale of these drinks, including awareness of their potential health risks, could reduce life-threatening cases due to excessive consumption, and explained that reducing the amount of caffeine consumed daily to the recommended levels, that is, about 400 ml, could protect against and other high heart diseases stressed the need for medical follow-up for people who consume excessive energy drinks, especially those with other risk factors, including a family history of heart disease or high blood pressure, and emphasized that early medical evaluation and prompt intervention can reduce the harm. The researchers said that excessive consumption of energy drinks is not just a problem for adults, but instead represents a real threat to the health of young people, and pointed out that setting a minimum age for purchase and placing clear health warnings on packages could help to reduce excessive consumption and protect public health.

On December 12, 2025, Yuvraj Singh turned 44. The Golden Son of Indian cricket made history at the 2007 T20 World Cup by hitting six sixes in one over.

Yuvraj says he could have turned professional but gave up skating under pressure. He also held national records before switching to a completely different sport. Child actor in a Punjabi film Yuvraj Singh briefly appeared as a child artist in early 1990s Punjabi films. He had a small cameo in Mehndi Shagna Di in 1992 when he was around 10 years old. His father also acted in the movie. Yuvraje also made a brief appearance in Putt Saradaran De. These were small roles. He soon shifted his focus to cricket. Left-handed or right-handed? Yuvraj Singh is one of the greatest left-handed batsmen and bowlers of all time. However, he is right-handed in most aspects of daily life. He explained that it was a planned cricketing decision, not a natural trait. His father trained him to bat left-handed for tactical advantage. The move disrupted bowlers and worked brilliantly.

Doctors advised to rest from strenuous sports. Instead, his father pushed him into cricket practice after he recovered.

When he lifted the trophy at Wankhede on April 11, only his mother and a few friends knew about the disease. Yuvi scored 362 runs and took 15 wickets, delivering one of cricket’s most remarkable performances. India won the World Cup after 28 years. “I played the World Cup with cancer in my body… I just wanted to win it for Sachin Tendulkar and for India,” he later said.
