Parking to vending zones: Consultant to help Greater Noida to overhaul civic infrastructure
Noida: To create better-managed public spaces, improve last-mile connectivity, and explore new revenue streams, Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority is set to appoint consultants to support the planning and execution of key urban infrastructure projects across the city. It has invited Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from qualified firms with expertise in urban planning, survey-based strategy formulation, and infrastructure implementation. A major focus of the consultants' scope will be thorough revamp of bus stands across the city. You Can Also Check: Noida AQI | Weather in Noida | Bank Holidays in Noida | Public Holidays in Noida With the city preparing to roll out a joint electric city bus service — a 500-bus initiative in collaboration with Noida and Yamuna Expressway Authorities, out of which GNIDA will operate 100 buses — there is a need to upgrade and construct modern bus shelters. These will be integrated with EV charging stations, in line with GNIDA's push for sustainable urban mobility. The consultant will also be tasked with identifying suitable locations for surface and multi-level parking structures, to address parking shortages and decongest busy commercial areas. The hired consultant will develop dedicated vending zones in various sectors. In light of the rise in unauthorized kiosks and shops along roadsides, the Authority plans to regulate street vending by identifying suitable locations for legal vending zones, based on surveys of local demand, traffic patterns, and public convenience. Simultaneously, non-vending zones will be clearly marked to prevent congestion and encroachment in high-traffic areas, to ensure smooth pedestrian and vehicular movement. The consultant will also identify spots to set up small food kiosks or micro-markets. These facilities are intended to support local entrepreneurship and provide structured, hygienic spaces for small vendors to operate, officials said. Another major area of focus is advertisement infrastructure. GNIDA earns significant revenue through unipoles and billboards across the city. The selected consultant will explore opportunities to expand advertisement spaces in a planned manner. The scope of work includes conducting detailed surveys, preparing strategies, developing 2D and 3D layout plans, drafting Request for Proposals (RFPs) for each component, and providing implementation support during project execution. Firms applying must have prior experience in similar urban development projects and should be well-versed with local regulations of Greater Noida.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk responds to shareholders' lawsuit: ‘They are scum of the Earth. The worst….'
Tesla shareholders recently filed a lawsuit accusing CEO Elon Musk and the EV maker of securities fraud for hiding safety risks of Tesla's self-driving tech, including the Robotaxi. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The lawsuit alleges that Tesla misled investors by not disclosing problems with its self-driving vehicles. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has responded to the lawsuit on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). He said lawsuits like this are not driven by real investors but by "class-action lawyers" trying to earn a share of the settlement. Musk called these lawyers 'scum of the Earth' and criticized the legal system for allowing such cases. 'It's never actually investors. It's always shitty class-action lawyers grifting for their percentage of the verdict. They are scum of the Earth. The worst human being I've ever encountered,' CEO Elon Musk wrote on X. What Tesla shareholders said about its Robotaxi service As reported by news agency Reuters, Tesla shareholders have alleged that the company exaggerated the capabilities of its autonomous driving technology, thereby overstating its business outlook and inflating its stock value. However, the company's stock declined by 6.1% across two consecutive trading sessions following the start of the test. The lawsuit aims to recover unspecified damages for investors who held shares between April 19, 2023, and June 22, 2025, Reuters added. Tesla Robotaxi service teased to launch in San Francisco The lawsuit comes after Elon Musk teased the launch of Tesla's robotaxi service in San Francisco last week. The service's expected expansion will follow a limited pilot in Austin, Texas, where a small fleet of vehicles started operating within a geofenced area. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In San Francisco, the initial operational zone is expected to cover the broader Bay Area. Select Tesla owners have received early invitations, and the launch has reportedly also been moved up. Expansion plans for this service even include states like Nevada, Arizona, and Florida, but broader deployment depends on obtaining regulatory approvals. In California, Tesla has yet to complete the permit process required for full driverless services, with state agencies emphasising safety evaluations.

Economic policies to support demand recovery: Hyundai Motor India MD
Kim said the company expects 'domestic sales growth to be broadly in line with industry estimates of low-single digit' and 7-8 per cent volume growth in exports in 2025-26 Press Trust of India New Delhi Amid global disruptions and macroeconomic uncertainties, India's economic resilience and forward-looking policies are creating a more favourable landscape for consumption-driven sectors like automobiles and such steps are expected to support automotive demand recovery in the near to mid-term, according to Hyundai Motor India Ltd Managing Director Unsoo Kim. Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) is also evaluating the introduction of Genesis, Hyundai's global luxury marque, in the Indian market. In his address to shareholders in the company's annual report for 2024-25, Kim said the company expects "domestic sales growth to be broadly in line with industry estimates of low-single digit" and 7-8 per cent volume growth in exports in 2025-26. "Global disruptions, macroeconomic uncertainties, and a high base effect continue to pose challenges across the automotive industry. Yet, India's economic resilience and forward-looking policies, including repo rate cuts and income tax relief, are now creating a more favourable landscape for consumption-driven sectors like ours," Kim wrote in his message. He futher said, "We expect these steps to support automotive demand recovery in the near to mid-term, particularly as financing becomes more accessible and customer confidence improves." In terms of sales growth, Kim said, "While we expect our FY2025-26 domestic growth to be broadly in line with industry estimates of low-single digit, we anticipate 7-8 per cent volume growth in exports, supported by robust demand for our products in the emerging markets." As per the company's annual report, it sold a total of 7,62,052 units in 2024-25, with 5,98,666 units in the domestic market and 1,63,386 units exported. On the road ahead, Kim said, "As we move forward, our journey is poised for accelerated growth. We recently commenced production of passenger vehicle engines at our third manufacturing facility in Pune, bringing us closer to commencing vehicle production by Q3 of FY 2025-26." With the goal of producing over 10 lakh units annually, this state-of-the-art facility will enhance manufacturing capacity, enable seamless integration between EV and ICE production, and play a crucial role in advancing HMIL's sustainability objectives, he noted, adding the company is also focused on expanding its localised supplier base through a dedicated indigenisation strategy. Kim reiterated that by FY 2029-30, HMIL aims to launch 26 new models and upgrades, including 6 EVs and 20 ICE vehicles, complemented by the introduction of eco-friendly powertrains such as hybrids. On the plans of the company entering the luxury segment, HMIL Whole-time Director & COO, Tarun Garg said, "We are also strategically evaluating the introduction of Genesis, Hyundai's global luxury marque, to redefine luxury through innovation, design and differentiated experiences." He further said, "This aligns with our aspiration to serve the evolving expectations of discerning Indian consumers.
