Financial Year 2024-25: What’s Happening Across India?

The 2024-25 financial year is already buzzing with new housing schemes, holiday calendars, and electric vehicle launches. If you’re trying to keep up, this guide breaks down the most useful info in plain language. Think of it as your cheat‑sheet for the biggest changes that affect everyday life and business.

Major Government Schemes

One of the headline announcements is the MHADA Konkan Lottery 2025. The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority opened registration for 5,285 affordable homes in the Konkan region. Applications run from 15 September to 15 November 2025, and you can apply through the IHLMS 2.0 app. The process asks for income proof, domicile certificate and a few other documents. Winners will need to pay stamp duty and registration fees before moving in. If you’re looking for a budget‑friendly house, this lottery is worth a close watch.

Another notable move concerns school holidays in Chhattisgarh. While there’s no official circular yet, the state is weighing an extended Dussehra‑Diwali break in 2025. Dussehra lands on 2 Oct and Diwali on 20‑21 Oct, creating a long festive window. Schools could either give a longer break or split it into shorter intervals. Parents and teachers are already planning around these dates, so stay tuned for the final decision if you have kids in school.

Business & Market Highlights

The auto market got a jolt with Mahindra’s XEV 9e Pack 3 launch. Priced at Rs 30.50 lakh (ex‑showroom), the top‑spec electric SUV offers a 79 kWh battery and a certified 656 km range. It also packs Level 2 ADAS, a Snapdragon 8295‑powered cockpit, and a 16‑speaker Harman Kardon sound system. Deliveries start in July 2025 for some variants, with a full rollout by August. If you’re eyeing an EV, this model sets a new benchmark for price‑to‑range balance.

Beyond new products, the FY 2024-25 budget is shaping business sentiment. Tax incentives for small manufacturers and increased capital allowances for green projects are already translating into higher investment plans for 2025. Companies are also responding to the push for digitalization by upgrading their IT infrastructure, a trend that shows up in many of the posts on the site.

All these pieces—housing lotteries, school calendars, EV launches, and fiscal incentives—interact to define the financial landscape of the year. Whether you’re a first‑time home buyer, a parent, or a business owner, keeping an eye on these updates can save you time and money.
