The City and Industrial Development Corporation CIDCO ), Maharashtra's town planning authority, will formulate a Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) for Navi Mumbai and the surrounding area influenced by the Navi Mumbai International Airport , also known as NAINA. The plan will cover transportation needs through 2054 and beyond.CIDCO stated that the CMP will serve as a framework to guide the development of transport infrastructure in one of the country's key urban corridors, as the region prepares for several large-scale infrastructure projects and rapid urban expansion.'With projects such as Navi Mumbai International Airport, Corporate Park, Aerocity, Edu City, Logistic Park, Medicity, along with residential and industrial growth, traffic volume in Navi Mumbai is set to rise substantially,' said Vijay Singhal, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of CIDCO.'In this backdrop, the Comprehensive Mobility Plan will serve as a guiding framework for CIDCO and other authorities to develop a versatile, inclusive, and future-ready transportation system,' he added.The CMP will take into account upcoming infrastructure including the Navi Mumbai International Airport, Atal Setu (Mumbai Trans Harbour Link), Metro Line 8 (linking the two Mumbai airports), Panvel-Karjat suburban rail line, and extensions to the Navi Mumbai Metro. The area is also seeing growth in corporate, manufacturing, and logistics hubs across nodes such as Kharghar, Taloja, and Ulwe.CIDCO said the plan will adopt a broad approach, incorporating public transport, private vehicles, and non-motorised modes such as walking and cycling.The CMP aims to identify current gaps in the transport network, prioritise investments, and create a phased roadmap aligned with regional mobility requirements. Key goals include enabling safe and efficient movement of people, ensuring network integration, and reducing environmental impact.Navi Mumbai currently has around 980 kilometres of road network, a suburban railway line, the Belapur-Pendhar Metro, and city bus services. Major roads include the Thane-Belapur Road, Sion-Panvel Highway, and Palm Beach Road.CIDCO said the plan will be finalised in phases after consultation with transport experts, urban planners, and regional authorities.The move comes amid increasing pressure on urban mobility systems in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, with CIDCO overseeing planning and implementation of several strategic infrastructure projects.

Maharashtra's Vidarbha set to emerge as logistics hub with infra push
Advt Ports in the east gain focus By , ETInfra The Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, has announced a set of road, port, and mining-related projects aimed at integrating Maharashtra's Vidarbha into the country's logistics and industrial network, reported The Times of initiatives are expected to connect the region to eastern ports and southern markets, while also fast-tracking mining clearances and transport at the inauguration of the Confederation of Indian Industry's new regional office in Nagpur on Sunday, Gadkari announced a new expressway linking Nagpur to Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh. This will be the third major corridor originating from Nagpur, following the operational Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Mahamarg and the proposed Nagpur-Goa Shaktipeeth Expressway.'Vidarbha's location is strategically advantageous. The eastern ports in Andhra Pradesh are much closer to Nagpur than Mumbai, and they're less congested too. A direct road link means reduced fuel consumption, shorter travel time, and lower logistics costs — key for making exports viable,' said minister said that the Samruddhi Mahamarg would eventually extend to Visakhapatnam through Gondia, bringing districts such as Gadchiroli and Chandrapur into the national logistics also pointed to the ₹37,000 crore Raipur-Visakhapatnam corridor , 88 per cent of which is complete. This corridor, skirting Vidarbha's eastern edge, would allow steel producers in Gadchiroli access to the Visakhapatnam and Kakinada to Gadkari, eastern ports are less congested and handling costs in Maharashtra ports like Vadhavan remain higher. He said logistics costs had already dropped from 16 per cent to 10 per cent of product value, citing a study by IIM Bangalore and IITs Kanpur and Chennai, and that the government aimed to bring this down to 9 per cent by December. In comparison, logistics costs in China stand at 8 per cent, and 12 per cent in the US and Europe, he projects include the Raipur-Hyderabad expressway, a proposed defence cluster in Nagpur, and an airstrip at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil. Gadkari said pilot projects worth ₹600 crore have been launched with firms such as Tatas, Ashok Leyland, Volvo, IOCL, and HPCL to develop 10 corridors for hydrogen-run vehicles, including one in Maharashtra. Hydrogen can now be used in both petrol and diesel-run engines, he said.

Western Railway to equip Mumbai locals with Kavach by 2026
Advt System to replace AWS in high-density corridor Kavach rollout planned on 2,358 route kilometres Advt By , ETInfra In a major safety overhaul, Western Railway will install the indigenously developed anti-collision system Kavach across its Mumbai suburban train network by the end of next year, railway officials have confirmed to news agencyKavach, an Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system developed under the 'Make in India' initiative, is currently being implemented on the Delhi-Mumbai corridor and other key railway routes. It is intended to replace the Auxiliary Warning System (AWS) currently used on the Western Railway's suburban Railway operates over 1,400 local train services each day on the Churchgate-Virar-Dahanu corridor, with a daily ridership of over 3 million. The current AWS alerts train drivers with audio and visual signals about upcoming signals and assists with speed monitoring and emergency braking. However, officials said the system has limitations in preventing incidents such as Signal Passed at Danger (SPAD) or signal jumping due to its reliance on human intervention."The AWS panel in the motorman's cab has an alarm, a vigilance button, and red, yellow, or blue lights. If the alarm sounds, the motorman must press the button within four seconds, or the brakes will activate and remain locked until the train comes to a complete halt," an official to railway officials, the AWS's dependence on manual response and limited automation reduces its ability to prevent certain critical safety which means 'armour' in Hindi, includes features such as continuous speed monitoring, in-cab signalling, and automatic braking when trains approach a red signal or exceed speed system ensures real-time communication between trains and signalling infrastructure, allowing automated intervention when safety thresholds are breached."Work has begun on the transition to Kavach. All suburban locals on Western Railway will be equipped with Kavach in addition to mainline locomotives by the end of next year," a senior WR official Western Railway has outlined plans to install Kavach over 2,358 route kilometres. Its commissioning on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad section is expected by the end of the current financial year. Other routes are set to follow."Kavach is poised to improve railway signalling systems and ensure enhanced passenger safety. Deployment of Kavach will also aid efficiency," Western Railway's chief public relations officer Vineet Abhishek is already operational on select sections of the South Central Railway, where it has been deployed over more than 1,400 route kilometres. Indian Railways aims to scale the system across 35,000 route kilometres in move to install Kavach in Mumbai's suburban system—one of the busiest in the world—is part of a broader effort to modernise safety systems and reduce dependency on manual oversight in train operations.

Best stocks to buy today, 4 August, recommended by NeoTrader's Raja Venkatraman
Markets continued to blow hot and cold, absorbing the events that occurred as we struggled to close above 25,000 despite a head start. The weak posture held by the market despite the profit booking that we witnessed in high beta stocks suggests that the bullish bias could take a back seat. The Nifty Bank continues to hold prospects of heading higher. Here are three stocks to trade as recommended by Raja Venkatraman of NeoTrader for today: OLECTRA: Buy CMP and dips to ₹1,370 | Stop ₹1,350 | Target ₹1,540-1,585 JSL: Buy CMP and dips to ₹690 | Stop below ₹680 | Target ₹735-750 DELHIVERY: Buy CMP and dips to ₹415 | Stop below ₹407 | Target ₹451-463 Stock market today Benchmark equity indices in India extended their downtrend on 1 August, closing lower for the second session in a row and marking a fifth consecutive week of losses. Weak global cues pressured markets from the outset, dragging the Nifty below the 24,600 level in early trade. Although a mid-morning recovery trimmed some losses, renewed profit booking and an extended sell-off in the final hour pushed the Nifty back under 24,550, leaving it at 24,565.35—a drop of 203 points, or 0.82%. The Sensex tumbled 585.67 points, or 0.72%, to finish at 80,599.91.

The Sensex tumbled 585.67 points, or 0.72%, to finish at 80,599.91. The broader BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices underperformed, falling 1.3% and 1.6%, respectively. For the week, both the Sensex and the Nifty slipped by about 1%, marking the Nifty's longest weekly losing streak in two years. Sectoral selling was widespread—auto, realty, pharma, IT, metal, oil & gas, and PSU banks all ended up 2% lower—while only FMCG bucked the trend. Among blue-chips, Sun Pharma, Dr Reddy's, Adani Enterprises, Tata Steel, and Cipla led the declines, even as Trent, Asian Paints, Hero MotoCorp, HUL, and Nestlé India logged modest gains. Outlook for trading Since the start of July, India has seen FII outflows of close to July is also on track to see the third highest outflows in 2025 so far. This current ₹42,000 crore number is just a tad short of the net sell number for February at ₹58,000 crore. With continued FII selling, monetary tightening to continue by the Fed going ahead and mixed earnings from Indian companies also dampened the investor's sentiment. So, it is all linked now at the macro level. Here, other factors such as government, Reserve Bank of India action, seasonal demands, etc., all get into the mix, and hence, it is going to be difficult to tell which is going to impact trends the most. Suffice it to say that price action is the final output of all these considerations, and therefore, our focus shall remain on that, and we should be able to decipher our way out of this. The weekly performance of sectors indicated that the majority of the sectors witnessed profit booking, coupled with some fresh shorts entering the system. This indicates that the markets are getting ready for some downside in anticipation of the market breaching important supports. Stocks from industrial manufacturing and IT were the most affected. In the last mid-week update, we mentioned that the markets are unwilling to let go of the positive momentum, but they could not continue to head higher. The charts seem hesitant at the moment and have not been displaying positive vibes. Trends are not easily giving up the break below 24,500 (marked in 4). At this point, we are noticing a threatening scenario that could threaten the way forward. While the overall bias seems to be positive, the market is now heading towards a ranging period, thus leading us to some stock-specific action. The strong move above the warning line has not sustained, and after last Monday, the Nifty has only closed below the warning line, highlighting the ambiguity that is getting built into the bullish bias. While the attempt to move higher has been continuously explored, we should not look at the possibility of the strong bullish resolve losing its way. On the way down, we are of the view that the gap region around 24,200, which could now act as a support if we move beneath Friday's low. The chart above shows a series of gaps that are currently defining the upward charge. The lower shadows indicate that the lower levels are continuing to remain a bullish zone where buying interest continues to emerge. The momentum indicators after a strong upward charge are seen taking a breather. But with no signs of divergences in momentum, we should look to retain the bullish bias until the critical support region is given away. From a trading perspective, one should look for a move above 24,700 to trade long for a rise towards 25,000, which could be possible. In the event the Nifty begins to head lower and breaks the 24,500 zone, then a short trade can be initiated as the next support lies only around 24,200.
