INDIA NEWS TODAY, IN 60 SECONDS

The day's top stories from across India, summarised. National news, state and city news, politics, business and markets, technology, environment, science and sport - every story cut to a 60-second read. Catch up in minutes, not hours.

PERSONALISED NEWS FEED - YOUR TOPICS, YOUR PRIORITY

Choose the categories you care about and leave out the ones you don't. Your feed puts your picks first, so what you follow sits at the top.

Ten categories: Nation, World, Business, Market, Technology, Politics, Science, Sports, Environment and Entertainment. Crypto too.

Go deeper with Focus Interests - narrow subjects like Future Tech, Market Movers and Startup India. Your alerts follow the same choices.

DAILY CURRENT AFFAIRS, WITHOUT THE NOISE

A clean current affairs feed for students and professionals. Government policy and Parliament, Supreme Court judgments, RBI and the economy, defence, ISRO and Indian science, and government schemes.

FROM KASHMIR TO KERALA - YOUR STATE, YOUR NEWS

India is not four metros. State and regional news from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha, Assam, Madhya Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir.

Local city news for Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow and Kochi. Pick your state and the feed follows it.

WHERE THE NEWS COMES FROM

We don't scrape the open web. Every source is reviewed by hand against one standard: an established newsroom with real reporters, published corrections and editorial independence.

Every summary is attributed to the newsroom that reported it, stamped with the exact date and time it was published, and linked to the original report. You always know precisely how old a story is. TheReader.AI is an independent news reader app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any publisher.

BALANCED INDIA NEWS - DIVERSE BY DESIGN

One masthead is one vantage point. TheReader.AI draws across the spectrum - left, right and centre. We report what was reported, not what we'd like you to conclude.
