Delhi's infra boost: PM Modi to inaugurate Dwarka Expressway, UER-II; Rs 11,000 crore project to decongest Capital
The projects: the Delhi section of the
Dwarka Expressway
and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II), are expected to greatly cut travel time, decongest arterial routes, and provide smoother links between Delhi and its neighbouring cities.
The 10.1 km Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway has been built at a cost of around Rs 5,360 crore. It will not only help traffic movement but also provide multi-modal connectivity to Yashobhoomi, the DMRC Blue and Orange lines, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station, and the Dwarka cluster bus depot.
Alongside this, the Alipur to Dichaon Kalan stretch of the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II), including new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, has been developed at a cost of Rs 5,580 crore. This new corridor will ease pressure on Delhi's Inner and Outer Ring Roads, as well as busy intersections such as Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan, and NH-09.
According to officials, Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to inaugurate the full 76-km UER-II, developed as the third Ring Road of Delhi, and the 29-km Dwarka Expressway on Sunday.

Both roads form a central part of the Centre's Delhi decongestion plan and are designed to reduce bottlenecks across the city's ring roads and arterial networks.
The Dwarka Expressway, fully operational, has been built in four packages at a cost of around Rs 9,000 crore. Its Haryana section was inaugurated by Modi in March 2024, just before the Lok Sabha elections. Meanwhile, the UER-II was executed in five packages with a total cost of Rs 7,716 crore.
As per the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the UER-II begins at Alipur on NH-44 and connects with NH-9 and NH-48 in Delhi. Of the 76 km stretch, 54.2 km lies in Delhi while the remaining 21.5 km falls in Haryana. Conceived under the Delhi Master Plan 2021, it will also link the proposed IICC in Dwarka via the Dwarka Expressway, as per a TNN report.

Why is the address of PMO changing after 78 years? What is the 'big' reason behind leaving South Block?
New Delhi: A big change is going to happen in Delhi's power corridor. After about 78 years, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) will now shift from South Block to the newly built Executive Enclave. Government sources said that the new office will start functioning from next month. Why is the PMO shifting? Old buildings like South Block and North Block were built during the British rule before independence. There is a shortage of space in them, and there is also a lack of modern facilities. As India is becoming a big economic power, it was felt that new and better buildings are needed for administrative work. This is the reason why a new Executive Enclave has been constructed a few hundred meters away from South Block. Not only PMO, but there will also be Cabinet Secretariat, National Security Council Secretariat and conferencing facility. The special thing is that this place is also close to the Prime Minister's residence. What are the problems with the old office? Recently, while inaugurating Kartavya Bhawan-3, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that since independence, the administrative machinery had been running from the same buildings that were built by the British. Basic facilities like space, light and ventilation were also not properly available in these offices. He gave the example that an important unit like the Home Ministry continued to work from just one building for almost 100 years, while there were not enough resources available. The new offices will overcome this deficiency and match the image of modern India. The new PMO can get a new name It is assumed that the new PMO can be given a new name which reflects the spirit of service. At the beginning of his third term, the Prime Minister had said that 'PMO should not be of Modi, but of the public. This is an office that serves the people.' That is why the idea of 'People's PMO' can also move forward with the new office. What will happen to South Block and North Block? Now the question arises as to what will happen to historical buildings like South Block and North Block. The government has planned to convert them into a huge public museum, which will be named 'Yuge Yugin Bharat Sangrahalaya'. For this, an agreement has also been signed between the National Museum of India and France Museum Development. The government says that this museum will showcase the cultural heritage of India and will work to connect people with our glorious past, bright present and golden future.

Bad news for Ratan Tata's TCS after massive layoffs, IT giant loses Rs 5.66 lakh crore due to..., worst phase for company since...
TCS is undergoing its worst crisis since the 2008 recession. (File) TCS market cap: Amidst the backdrop of the controversy surrounding its decision to cut more than 12,000 jobs in the current fiscal year, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India's largest IT services exporter, has witnessed a rout of its market cap, which slumped from Rs 16.57 lakh crore to Rs 10.93 lakh crore, a decrease of Rs 5.66 lakh crore. According to market analysts, TCS, the flagship company of the Tata Group, is going through it worst crisis since the 2008 recession, when it shares had fallen by 55 percent. TCS share prices have dipped 25 percent in 2025, and experts predict the current financial could be the worst in company's history if the downfall continues. Why TCS shares are falling? According to analysts, India's stock market has witnessed a turmoil over the past few months as foreign investors are withdrawing from the market in droves amid US President Donald Trump unleashing tariff war against India, and recently announcing 50% import duty on Indian exports. The IT industry, once considered a favorite for FIIs, is now witnessing a decline, with foreign investors reducing their stake in TCS from 12.35% in June 2024 to 11.48% in June 2025, which has resulted in the company's shares falling by over 25 percent in the current financial year. The Nifty IT index has fallen 25% so far this year, making it the worst-performing sector in the market as over half of the Rs 95,600 crore withdrawn from India by FIIs till July 2025 has come from IT stocks alone. Why mutual funds investment increased? Meanwhile, domestic mutual funds have raised their stake in TCS from 4.25% to 5.13%, making fresh purchases worth Rs 400 crore in the company, according to data. TCS' trailing PE declined from 41x to 20x, five-year CAGR stands at 8.5%, while stock CAGR is 6%, the data showed. Notably, India's IT sector has grown at a compounded annual rate of 12.5% over the last two decades, but has underperformed the Nifty over the last three to five years. TCS layoffs According to recent media reports, TCS is mulling to cut about 2 percent of its global workforce, which would result in over 12,000 TCS workers losing their jobs in the current financial year. The company's decision is being investigated, with Jefferies warning that TCS layoffs could result in a slowdown in execution in the near term and an increase in the workforce in the long term.

Newly laid bund road to ease traffic on two busy roads in Coimbatore
The newly laid bund road. Photo by P Sreedharan COIMBATORE: The Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation has opened a new road from Lanka Corner Railway bridge to the Vincent Road Junction to ease traffic congestion on the Big Bazaar Road and Vincent Road. The road is said to reduce at least 30% of the vehicle flow heading towards Bazaar Street up to Ukkadam. The road, laid on the bunds of Valankulam Lake, terminates a few metres away from the Ukkadam- Sungam bypass roundabout. The one-way stretch of 805 meters is open to two vehicles and cars proceeding towards from the Government Hospital Road. This initiative is part of the city corporation's traffic management plan to have better mobility within the city limits. According to a corporation officer, "The road is about seven meters wide and can handle cars as well. Except for heavy vehicles, the rest of the vehicles heading towards Ukkadam can use this route. The entire day, irrespective of peak hours, the Vincent Road remains congested as too many vehicles use this narrow road as an alternative to reach Ukkadam. Hence from now on, those vehicles wouldn't have to take the Vincent Road. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo " Arfan Ahmed, who works at a garment store in Karumbukkadai, said, "Vincent Road would be completely congested during peak hours, especially in the evenings. Many people visit the eateries on this road, resulting in traffic. Also, it is the shortest route to reach Ukkadam flyover up ramp on the Sungam Bypass." The corporation is planning a similar alternative route along the Royal Theatre that will be connected to this newly laid bund road. The corporation official said, "To cater to the congestion caused by vehicles coming from the Goodshed Road that get through Vincent Road, a similar bund road has been planned along the Royal theatre. A study to prepare an estimate is under way." Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
