Apart from MLCP, eye-catching ‘deck' to house IT companies
Visakhapatnam: The Ratan Tata Innovation Hub (RTIH) and a multilevel car parking project are getting ready right at the heart of the city.
With the building titled 'deck' nearing completion, the project will be inaugurated by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who is scheduled to visit Visakhapatnam on June 10.
The eye-catching deck comprises 11 floors. Of them, four floors have been dedicated to the MLCP, while the rest will be utilised for commercial purposes.
The state government decided to dedicate some of the floors for the IT sector.
In a move towards streamlining vehicular congestion and overcoming traffic bottlenecks, a multi-level car parking (MLCP) along with two-wheeler parking facility was initiated and the work for the project commenced in 2022.
The first-of-its-kind multi-level car parking facility in Andhra Pradesh is stretched up to 1.35 acres. Currently, such facilities are available in Kolkata, Pune, Chennai and New Delhi.
VMRDA initiated the MLCP and it comes with a host of benefits such as optimal utilisation of space, low maintenance and operational cost, low construction cost (owing to the prefabrication), secure and environment-friendly nature, along with saving cost for builders, saving height, depth, etc.,
The deck spaces will also be utilised for commercial purposes. About 800 cars and 700-plus two-wheelers can be accommodated in the facility.
Speaking to The Hans India, VMRDA chairperson MV Pranav Gopal pointed out that IT companies used to close their shutters during the YSRCP's tenure. 'But after the NDA government came to power, industries that disappeared from the state began coming back. It is a very proud moment that the VMRDA building 'deck' will house prestigious IT companies next,' he stated.

Our trade ambitions should make us look across as many seas as we can
In a world recoiling from America's secession from the global economy under US President Donald Trump, India's policymakers have to answer three questions. One, does international trade remain an instrument of improving efficiency in production and consumption? Two, does US abdication of its traditional leadership of the rules-based global system mean the end of rules for mutual engagement among other nations? And, three, do regional trade blocs make sense for a country like India? Clarity was provided on these matters by former Planning Commission deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia in a recent media interaction. As a believer in the benefits of globalized growth, he said he would like India to shed some of the additional layers of protection it has adopted, particularly since 2017. Further, he would like India to join some of the regional trading arrangements India had been invited to but walked away from. Also Read: India should reconsider its rejection of the RCEP trade bloc We are in broad agreement with this approach. As the US withdraws behind tariff walls, India's government should go for greater trade openness—not just to counteract its effects, but to foster a more efficient economy on the whole. In terms of the diversity, sophistication and scale of capabilities that our overall economy and workers represent, ours is the only country that can host the supply chains that much of the rich world would like shifted out of China, at least in part. Not that the West should or can decouple entirely from China. But diversifying factory locations offers insurance cover against calamitous disruptions enabled by any geographic concentration of production. While Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia have attracted more nodes in supply networks from China than we have, that does not contradict the proposition of India's potential as the world's next big factory. Rather, it speaks of an opportunity waiting to be exploited. For our production base to turn export oriented, it must be able to rely on easy and predictable imports of inputs and other needs. It also requires our cost base to go down in general; falling tariff protection can do this by slowly exposing domestic players to competition and driving business efficiency. Also Read: The time is right for a reset of India's trade ties with China Our tariff rates need to be uniformly in single digits across categories—be it finished goods, components or material inputs—so that import policy does not distort how market forces allot value addition; let sectors with a competitive edge emerge on their own. The big aim should be global competitiveness, for which we must learn to compete globally, not just bilaterally with select partners. Lower barriers to our markets for a wide range of players would let local firms test themselves against the world's best. Since we lack an edge in several sectors right now, some early-stage protection and state support is justified, but only to be gradually withdrawn. One way to pre-set protective shields on a downslope is for India to join trade blocs that span dynamic parts of the globe. Also Read: Mint Quick Edit | Is China's mediation game a hegemony play? In 2019, India gave up on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership in anxiety over Beijing's role in it. China's record on fair trade is scandalous, no doubt, but there is also the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership, which excludes China but includes Japan, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and Chile, besides Vietnam, Brunei, Singapore and Malaysia. As Trump-battered world trade goes into turmoil, let's broaden our global engagement. Bilateral pacts are welcome, of course, but it's best to look across as many seas as we can to meet our trade ambitions.
