Biz ops, illegal structures found in hsg units during checks in Gurgaon, 1k served notices
DTP (enforcement) Amit Madholia said that regular surveys in areas such as DLF phases, Sushant Lok (I–III), South City, Suncity, and Palam Vihar, reveal large-scale misuse of stilt parking spaces has been detected in licensed colonies, where residents often convert designated parking areas into servant quarters, storage rooms, or additional living spaces, forcing vehicles onto already congested streets.
"Wherever construction is found in stilt parking areas, notices are issued to property owners.
If illegal structures are not removed within the stipulated time, sealing and demolition follow," he said. He confirmed that more than 1,000 notices and restoration orders have already been served in DLF and Sushant Lok alone. In many licensed colonies, residential properties are being used for commercial purposes such as offices, salons, and boutiques.
According to Madholia, such activities not only violate zoning rules but also intensify traffic jams and strain limited parking resources.

While the crackdown focuses on licensed colonies, old Gurgaon faces a different set of problems. Many municipal colonies have narrow lanes and no provision for in-plot parking. Madholia, while noting that this does not fall directly under his jurisdiction, suggested that the solution lies in developing community parking zones on vacant government land or other available spaces. He also recommended regulated roadside parking through proper marking and time-slot systems.
Complaints have also been received about illegal constructions in the parking basements of malls and group housing societies. Madholia urged Gurgaon residents to strictly follow building norms related to parking.

Microfinance company Spandana Sphoorty Financial suffered a consolidated net loss of Rs 360 crore in the first quarter of the fiscal, making it the fourth consecutive quarterly loss, on account of high asset quality stress and drop in business volume as well as income. The lender had earned a consolidated net profit of Rs 56 crore in the year ago period. Thereafter, it reported losses in every quarter. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Its consolidated income fell 59% year-on-year at Rs 304 crore against Rs 734 crore. Provisions to cover bad loans were higher at Rs 422 crore as compared with Rs 209 crore. "The losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 were mainly due to significant impairment losses (including technical write offs) arising from credit deterioration of loans to customers," the company said in a stock exchange filing. Live Events It wrote off loans to the tune of Rs 581 crore in the June quarter, contributing to the elevated credit costs. "This will be improved going forward by strengthening on-ground recovery. Accordingly, the Company expects to generate sufficient taxable profits to fully utilize the losses," the company said in a joint statement by chairperson Abanti Mitra and interim chief executive officer Ashish Kumar Damani. The consolidated loss before tax for the June quarter was Rs 481 crore. Spandana recognized a deferred tax asset of Rs 544 crore to the extent it is considered recoverable, based on probable future taxable income supported by revised approved business plans and budgets. The lender's standalone loan book contracted to Rs 3877 crore at the end of June from Rs 5555 crore three months prior to that. Gross non-performing assets ratio was at 4.88% at the end of June as compared with 4.85% three months back. Net NPA remained at 0.96%.

It has obtained waivers in respect of such non-compliant covenants from few of the lenders. "The company has been in constant communication with its lenders and is confident that no demand for immediate repayment of borrowed funds will be made due to non-compliance with the covenants," it said. The company management is of the view that it would be able to realise all its assets and discharge all its liabilities in the normal course of business. "There are no material uncertainties on the company's ability to continue as a going concern," it said. It has a strong capital position, with tier I capital of ₹1,245.53 crores and a capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 37%. It has successfully raised fresh investment of Rs 200 crore through a partly paid rights issue of shares. The balance Rs 200 crore of the Rs 400-crore rights issue will be realised at a later date.

China says in close communication with India to resume direct flights
China on Thursday said it is in close communication with India to resume direct flights between the two countries, amid speculation that the two sides are preparing to restart air connectivity very soon after a gap of five years. Independence Day 2025 Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji gave India its own currency Swadeshi 2.0: India is no longer just a market, it's a maker "We noted relevant reports," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said when asked about reports that airlines of the two countries have been told to be ready to operate flights and an official announcement was expected during the upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit to be held on Aug 31-Sept 1 at Tianjin. "For some time, the Chinese side has been in close communication with India to promote the early resumption of direct flights between the two countries," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Simple Morning Habit for a Flatter Belly After 50! Lulutox Speculation was rife as Indian Consul General in Shanghai Pratik Mathur held talks with the officials of China Eastern Airlines on Thursday. A post on X by the Consulate said Mathur met with the senior management team of China Eastern Airlines global, led by Shen Jinsong, Senior GM Global, and discussed issues related to the growth of civil aviation and hospitality sectors in the region. Live Events Travel and tourism companies in Shanghai remain keenly engaged in growth opportunities represented by where the sky is the limit, the post said. State-owned China Eastern Airlines, along with Air China, used to operate daily flights to several Indian cities, including Delhi, but the air traffic came to a halt after the COVID-19 pandemic and the bilateral tensions following the military standoff in Eastern Ladakh. Lin said resuming direct flights between the Chinese mainland and India helps to facilitate cross-border travel, exchanges and cooperation as the two countries have a combined population of over 2.8 billion. India and China are in the process of normalising relations after over four years of a freeze in ties over the military standoff in Eastern Ladakh. Asked about reports that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will be visiting India on August 18 to attend the Special Representatives talks, Lin said, "China and India are maintaining interactions at various levels". "We stand ready to work with India to act on the important common understandings reached between leaders of our two countries, maintain the momentum of high-level exchanges, cement political mutual trust, enhance practical cooperation, properly handle differences, and promote the sustained, sound and steady development of China-India ties," Lin said. "On the specific visit, relevant information will be released in due course," he said. Wang and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval are the designated special representatives for the boundary talks. Doval travelled to China in December last and held the SR talks with Wang, weeks after PM Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping decided to revive various dialogue mechanisms between the two sides at a meeting in the Russian city of Kazan. When asked how China sees its relations with India evolving as New Delhi's ties with Washington faced challenges, Lin said China and India are both major developing countries and important members of the Global South. "A cooperative pas de deux of the dragon and the elephant as partners helping each other succeed is the right choice for both sides," he said. He said China stands ready to work with India to act on the important common understandings reached between leaders of our two countries, consistently increase political mutual trust, expand exchanges and cooperation together, properly handle differences while bearing in mind the bigger picture, and strengthen coordination and cooperation on such multilateral platforms as the SCO, with a view to promoting the sound and steady development of China-India relations.
