Delhi: NDMC to build 27-metre clock tower at Talkatora roundabout
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) will construct a clock tower at the Talkatora roundabout as a grand architectural landmark, Vice Chairman Kuljeet Singh Chahal said on Sunday. He said that the clock tower would be approximately 27 metre tall and feature a 2-meter clock. Chahal stated that the project has received approval from the Delhi Urban Art Commission (DUAC) and aims to establish a distinct identity within Lutyens' Delhi. The NDMC Vice Chairman added that most municipal bodies across the country have iconic clock towers as their symbols, and now NDMC will also develop such a grand architectural landmark. The structure will have an octagonal design, constructed using RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete), and will be adorned with a layer of clay bricks. The surrounding area will feature granite flooring, steel railings, and marble decorations. The estimated cost of the project is Rs 1.3 crore, and the target is to complete construction by December 2025. Chahal said: 'Clock towers are not just timekeeping devices; they are also symbols of a city's identity, heritage, and architectural significance. Historically, they have played a vital role in providing public time information.' This clock tower will not only serve as a new attraction for Lutyens' Delhi but also mark the entry point into the NDMC area from nearby MCD regions such as Rajendra Nagar and Karol Bagh, he said. The tower will include internal stairs to facilitate maintenance and repairs. For safety, railings will be installed around the tower, and the base will be decorated with marble, he said. Chahal added that the project is inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of "Viksit Bharat @2047" and reflects the national mission of beautifying Indian cities and preserving cultural heritage. This grand architectural structure in the NDMC area will not only provide timekeeping but also stand as a symbol of national pride, cultural identity, and urban elegance, he said.

Udayamperoor panchayat plans to add new assets to register
Kochi: Udayamperoor panchayat, with its 20 wards, is set to add 56 roads, a library and fish landing centres to its asset register. It has invited responses from public, seeking objections, if any, to the move. Panchayat authorities said delay in including these assets in its register results in unavailability of funds for their restoration. Failure to declare gramin library in the assets register led to lapse of Rs 10 lakh allotted from MLA fund. "Failure to include roads in the register resulted in bad condition of roads. Govt can allot funds only if roads are entered in our assets register as public property," said panchayat vice-president Gopi S A. When Sebastian Paul was MP, AKG library was set up using his fund. It belongs to local body. However, it has not been included in the asset register. Earlier, Rs 10 lakh was allotted from MLA fund and we planned to set up a hall on the second floor of library building. But govt issued an order mandating that public properties should be included in asset register of the local body to utilize public money for developments. Following this, we cancelled the project. The latest move is to avoid such situations in future," he said.

India's ultra-rich population to grow fastest in world, up 50 per cent by 2028: Report
Representative AI image NEW DELHI: India is projected to witness the fastest growth in its ultra-high-net-worth individual (UHNWI) population globally, increasing by 50 per cent between 2023 and 2028, according to a report by McKinsey & Company and The Business of Fashion (BoF), as quoted by ANI. This anticipated surge aligns with a robust outlook for India's luxury market, which is expected to grow between 15 and 20 per cent in 2025. The report attributes this growth to structural and demographic shifts, along with expanding retail infrastructure in tier-one cities. Recent developments such as the opening of Jio World Plaza and the planned entry of Galeries Lafayette are expanding luxury retail footprints in major urban centres. Meanwhile, the government has introduced new import taxes on luxury goods priced above Rs 700,000 (approximately USD 8,400) to encourage domestic spending—despite the prevailing 28 per cent Goods and Services Tax (GST) on luxury items. In comparison, Japan- the second-largest market for UHNWIs in Asia- is forecast to see its wealthy population grow by over 12 per cent from 2023 to 2028. Japan's luxury sector is expected to grow by 6 to 10 per cent in 2025, buoyed by strong domestic consumption and tourism. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo India's broader economic ascent is also reinforcing this trend. Niti Aayog CEO BVR Subrahmanyam recently confirmed that India has overtaken Japan to become the world's fourth-largest economy, citing data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). According to the IMF's April 2025 World Economic Outlook, India's nominal GDP is projected to reach USD 4.187 trillion in FY2026, marginally ahead of Japan's estimated USD 4.186 trillion. Between 2019 and 2023, the global luxury industry recorded exceptional growth, with demand for personal luxury goods—including fashion, handbags, watches, and jewellery—driving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5 per cent. Luxury brands outperformed broader markets and achieved record profit margins during this period. However, 2025 has brought a notable slowdown across the sector. The report indicates a decline in luxury value creation for the first time since 2016 (excluding the pandemic-hit year of 2020), with several key growth drivers—including strong Chinese consumer demand—losing momentum. China, which had recorded over 18 per cent annual growth in the luxury segment between 2019 and 2023, is now experiencing economic headwinds that are weighing on global performance.
