April 2025 Current Affairs: Daily Current Affairs for April Month

Current Affairs for April 2025: The month of April kicks off India’s new financial year – a period that brings policy changes and fresh data – and often coincides with final revisions for major mid-year exams. Current affairs hold immense weight in government exams (UPSC, SSC, banking, state PCS, etc.), testing aspirants’ awareness of recent events. Latest Current Affairs influence multiple sections in competitive exams – from dedicated general awareness papers to essays and interviews. 

To master this dynamic syllabus, aspirants should adopt an effective preparation strategy including daily April Month Current Affairs, daily news updates supplemented by monthly compilations, a category-wise breakdown of news (segregating topics like economy, environment, polity), and consistent revision through notes or quizzes. This approach improves retention and helps link current events with static knowledge. Notably, April 2025 itself is packed with key events and observances that aspirants should remember – from World Health Day (April 7) and Ambedkar Jayanti (April 14) to Earth Day (April 22) – all of which are important for direct questions and for providing rich context in essays and interviews. Some of the important April Current Affairs 2025 are given below – 

• India's Electronics Manufacturing Boost: The Indian government has introduced a $2.7 billion production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme to strengthen the electronics manufacturing sector. This initiative aims to attract $7 billion in investments and generate approximately 91,000 jobs over the next five years.
   
• U.S. Tariffs and Global Trade Implications: President Donald Trump is set to announce new tariffs on April 2, targeting aluminum, steel, automobiles, and increasing levies on Chinese goods. European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde emphasized the need for Europe to assert control over its economic future in response to these measures.
   
• India's Trade Negotiations with the U.S.: In anticipation of the U.S. tariffs, India is considering reducing tariffs on over half of U.S. imports valued at $23 billion. This move seeks to protect India's $66 billion in exports from reciprocal U.S. tariffs.
   
• Climate Outlook for India: The India Meteorological Department forecasts above-normal temperatures across most of the country for April, suggesting a significantly hotter month ahead.
   
• Eid Celebrations Amid Economic Challenges: In Indonesia, Eid al-Fitr celebrations have been subdued due to rising costs and economic strains, leading to decreased travel and spending. In India, Muslims are observing Eid amidst concerns over discrimination and proposed changes to land endowment laws.
   
• Maruti Suzuki's Price Hike: Maruti Suzuki India has announced a price increase of up to 4% on its vehicles, effective April 2025. This adjustment is attributed to rising raw material and operational costs.
   
• Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 Preparations: Preparations are underway for the 2025 Prayag Maha Kumbh Mela, with the Uttar Pradesh government establishing a temporary city spanning 4,000 hectares to accommodate pilgrims.
