September 2025 – What Made the News This Month

If you landed here looking for a quick grab on what happened in September 2025, you’re in the right spot. We’ve pulled together the biggest stories that popped up on our site – from a hot IPO launch to a new online liquor license lottery, a quirky AI trend, and massive car discounts. Read on for the practical bits you’ll want to remember.

Big Moves in Finance and Policy

First up, the stock market got a shake‑up when Aditya Infotech went public. The company’s IPO opened at a 51 % premium on the Bombay Stock Exchange, and investors piled in 106 times over the offer size. That kind of oversubscription is rare and shows strong demand for surveillance‑related tech, which is where Aditya makes its money. Analysts are split – some say the price is too high, others point to the growing need for security solutions across India.

On the policy side, Jharkhand rolled out an online e‑lottery to hand out 1,343 liquor shop licenses. The idea is simple: run a computer‑generated draw that’s broadcast live, so everyone can see the process is fair. Applications opened on August 8 and closed on August 20, with the draw happening on August 22. Winners get a small application fee back if they’re not picked, making the whole thing more transparent than the old paper‑based system.

Tech, Auto and Everyday Savings

Meanwhile, the internet was buzzing over a new AI filter called Gemini Nano Banana. It turns regular selfies into 90s‑style Bollywood saree portraits that look stunning on Instagram. But tech experts warned that the filter could snoop on personal data and even alter faces in ways users can’t see. Google added a SynthID watermark to try and flag the images, yet the watermark isn’t easy for ordinary people to verify. The takeaway? Have fun, but keep your privacy settings tight and think before you share.

Car lovers got a reason to smile in September too. Mahindra announced hefty discounts on its SUV lineup, with savings ranging from ₹50,000 up to more than ₹3 lakh. The XUV 3XO saw price cuts of up to ₹89,000, and the XUV400 EL Pro got a discount of about ₹2.5 lakh earlier this year. These offers are linked to a GST pass‑through on internal‑combustion models, so the savings vary by city, stock levels, and model year (MY 2024/2025). If you’re hunting for a new SUV, September turned out to be a sweet spot.

All together, September 2025 gave us a mix of high‑stakes finance, government tech upgrades, viral AI fun, and wallet‑friendly car deals. Keep an eye on these trends – the IPO surge hints at where capital may flow next, the e‑lottery could become a blueprint for other states, and the AI privacy debate is only getting louder. And if you’ve been waiting for a Mahindra discount, now’s probably the best time to act.
