Go Cashless! NBP Launches ATM at Karachi’s Cattle Market

NBP has taken a big step toward promoting digital banking by installing an ATM booth at the Northern Bypass Cattle Market in Karachi. This initiative comes just in time for the Eid season, when thousands of people visit the market for buying and selling animals. The ATM booth helps both traders and buyers by offering a safe and cashless way to handle their payments. Instead of carrying large amounts of cash, users can now withdraw money or make transactions on the spot. This not only reduces the risk of theft but also makes the buying process easier and faster. This effort is part of the State Bank of Pakistan’s #GoCashless campaign, which encourages people to use digital banking services and supports financial inclusion across the country. With this step, NBP is helping to make banking more accessible, even in high-traffic and temporary locations like cattle markets. NBP staff members are present at the booth to guide and assist people who may not be familiar with ATM use or digital payments. Their support ensures that even first-time users can benefit from the service without any confusion.

realme GT7 Launched in Paris with a Massive 7000mAh Battery, the Biggest Ever in a Flagship!

realme has officially launched its latest flagship smartphone, the Realme GT7 at an international event held in Paris on May 27. The highlight of the phone is its massive 7000mAh battery, the largest ever in any flagship smartphone so far. At a time when most high-end phones offer batteries between 4500mAh to 5000mAh, realme has gone beyond expectations by introducing a long-lasting power source that aims to eliminate battery anxiety for users. Whether for gaming, video streaming or heavy multitasking, the GT7 is built to last a full day and more on a single charge. Along with the GT7, realme also introduced the GT7T variant. However, the main spotlight remained on the GT7 because of its powerful performance and long battery life. Unlike the version released in China, the global GT7 model comes with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e processor. This updated chipset is designed to boost Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity making the phone faster and more reliable for daily use. The realme GT7 combines high-end specs, a futuristic design and one of the biggest batteries in flagship history all while keeping performance smooth and efficient. This launch marks an important move by realme as it continues to challenge top smartphone brands in the global market. The GT7 is now being seen as a serious competitor in the flagship race, especially for users who value long battery life without compromising on speed.

Solar Power Becomes Pakistan’s Largest Source of Electricity

Solar energy has become the largest source of electricity in Pakistan, contributing 25.3 percent of the country’s utility-supplied power during the first four months of 2025. This update was shared by Ember and reported through Reuters. In 2023, solar energy ranked as the fifth-largest source of electricity in the country. But in just two years, it has moved to the top spot, showing a major shift in Pakistan’s energy priorities. With this achievement, Pakistan is now one of fewer than 20 countries worldwide where solar makes up more than 25 percent of monthly electricity production. A key reason for this shift is the sharp increase in solar imports from China. Between 2022 and 2024, solar equipment imports grew five times, reaching a total capacity of 16,600 megawatts. This made solar panels more available and affordable for both homes and businesses across the country. The rapid growth of solar power reflects Pakistan’s move toward cleaner and more sustainable energy. Due to high fuel prices and electricity shortages, many consumers are now choosing solar as a reliable and cost-saving solution. The government has also played a helpful role by supporting solar initiatives and creating policies that encourage solar adoption. These changes have eased pressure on the national grid and helped reduce the country’s dependence on expensive imported fuels. Pakistan’s strong shift toward solar power marks an important step in its energy future one that offers long-term savings, environmental benefits, and improved energy security.

Huawei Shocks EV World With New Battery Patent Offering 2,000-Mile Range and 5-Minute Charging

Huawei has filed a new patent for an electric vehicle (EV) battery that could change the future of clean transportation. The company claims the solid-state battery can offer up to 2,000 miles of driving range and can be fully charged in just five minutes. This battery uses a special sulfide-based material, which is said to provide two to three times more energy than traditional lithium-ion batteries. If these claims prove true, it could mean fewer charging stops and much faster charging times for EV owners. While the idea of a five-minute full charge is still theoretical mainly due to current limitations in charging infrastructure the news has already caught global attention. Battery experts and automakers around the world are now watching closely to see how this technology develops. Solid-state batteries are considered the next big step in electric mobility. They are safer, last longer, and offer better performance compared to current batteries. Huawei’s move shows that China is pushing ahead in this field. In fact, Chinese companies like BYD and Xiaomi are also working hard on similar battery technology. China already holds more than 7,600 patents related to solid-state batteries, leading the global race in EV innovation. If successful, Huawei’s battery could set new standards for electric vehicles offering longer driving ranges, shorter charging times, and better efficiency. It could also boost the shift from fuel-powered cars to electric ones, making eco-friendly transport more practical and popular around the world.
