Hi-tech dairy plant in Namakkal set to be operational by January 2026

NAMAKKAL: Construction of a Rs 90-crore hi-tech dairy plant in Namakkal has reached 80% completion, marking a major step toward boosting milk production and supply in the region. Once operational, it will have the capacity to handle 2 lakh litres of milk per day, making it one of the most modern and high-capacity dairy units in Tamil Nadu. The project is being implemented with the support of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). Officials have confirmed that, alongside the civil construction, 90% of the required machinery has been procured, and 40% has already been installed on-site. Trial operations are scheduled to begin in November 2025, and the plant is expected to become fully operational by January 2026.

CPM demands withdrawal of Rs 12,771 cr power tariff burden

Vijayawada: CPM state committee strongly condemned the proposed additional burden of Rs 12,771 crore in electricity charges under the guise of 'True-Up' adjustments. The party is demanding the immediate withdrawal of this proposal and has called on the public to make the 'Praja Vedika' protests on August 5 a success. In a statement here on Friday, CPM state secretary V Srinivasa Rao criticised the move, noting that while the government claims it is not increasing electricity tariffs, the distribution companies have submitted proposals to the Electricity Regulatory Commission to levy a True-Up charge of Rs 12,771 crore for the period between 2019-20 and 2023-24. Srinivasa Rao said that this could not have happened without the state government's knowledge and urged the government to intervene immediately to halt the proposed hike. He pointed out that over the past 36 months consumers have already paid Rs 3,000 crore in True-Up charges for the 2014-19 period. After the new coalition government came to power, an additional burden of Rs 15,485 crore was imposed in adjustment charges for 2022-23 and 2023-24. Furthermore, consumers have been charged an extra 40 paise per unit every month for the current financial year (2024-25), collecting another Rs 2,787 crore. He also mentioned that smart meters would lead to further financial burdens. Srinivasa Rao accused the coalition government of breaking its promise to reduce electricity charges, a pledge made during the election. He pointed out that despite recent public announcements about a reduction of Rs 449 crore through a 'True-Down' adjustment, the distribution companies have simultaneously proposed a massive increase. The Electricity Regulatory Commission issued a notification on July 30 seeking public feedback on the proposal. The CPM leader declared that the practice of collecting True-Up charges years after the initial tariffs were set is illegal. He alleged that the government and distribution companies are using this system to increase costs through illegal agreements and corruption with corporate companies, ultimately passing the burden onto consumers. The party has called on the public to participate in the protests organised by Praja Vedika on August 5 to oppose the electricity tariff hikes, demand the abolition of True-Up and fuel adjustment charges, and reject the implementation of smart meters.

Hyd housing sector sees 11% drop in sales in H1

Hyderabad has recorded a decline of 11 per cent drop in number of housing units sold at 30,000 units during January-June (H1) of 2025 as per Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (Credai) India Housing Report, in collaboration with CRE Matrix. However, the report observed a modest 2 per cent increase in the housing sales' value, as well as a sharp rise in new launches and a shift towards luxury housing in the city during H1 2025. New launches have almost doubled from 23,000 in H1 2024 to 42,000 units in 2025, indicating developer optimism despite slower absorption. The report has recorded Rs 3.6 lakh crore in primary housing sales across tier-1 cities in H1 2025, marking a 9 per cent increase from Rs. 3.3 lakh crore in H1 2024. Despite a 4 per cent decline in units sold (from 2.7 lakh to 2.54 lakh), a 14 per cent rise in average ticket size from Rs. 1.24 crore to Rs. 1.42 crore underscores a growing consumer preference for premium and luxury homes. Shekhar Patel, president, Credai, said, 'We are witnessing a decisive shift in homebuyer preferences across India. The demand is clearly moving towards larger, better-located, and more premium homes—reflecting rising aspirations and improved purchasing power.' The report highlighted significant regional variations, with the National Capital Region (NCR) leading the market with a 26 per cent revenue share, fueled by a 21 per cent increase in sales value and a 32 per cent surge in average ticket size. Luxury flats priced above Rs. 3 crore accounted for 73 per cent of NCR's sales value, despite a modest volume of 25,000 units sold. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) followed closely with a 23 per cent revenue share, recording a 9 per cent growth in sales value and 75,000 units sold, with a 16 per cent increase in average ticket size. The share of homes priced above Rs. 3.5 crore in MMR rose from 29 per cent to 34 per cent, reflecting a strong tilt toward ultra-premium housing. Chennai emerged as a standout performer in South, achieving a 23 per cent increase in sales value with 11,000 units sold and a 12 per cent rise in average ticket size. New launches in Chennai grew from 14,000 to 19,000 units, though the market share of homes below Rs. 70 lakh dropped from 23% to 17 per cent. Bengaluru maintained steady growth with a 4 per cent increase in sales value and 30,000 units sold, supported by a 17 per cent rise in ticket size. However, the share of homes priced between Rs. 70 lakh and Rs. 1.5 crore declined from 38 per cent to 32 per cent. Ahmedabad matched NCR's unit sales with approximately 25,000 units sold, posting a 10 per cent increase in sales value and a 7 per cent rise in ticket size. The city saw a sharp decline in new launches, from 31,000 to 11,000 units, yet affordable homes under Rs.70 lakh gained a 2 per cent market share, rising from 27 per cent to 29 per cent. The decline in new launches across most cities, from 98,000 in H2 CY24 to 82,000 in H1 CY25, signals a cautious approach by developers amid rising costs. However, the robust growth in transaction values highlights the sector's resilience and the increasing premiumisation of the market. 'Despite lower volumes, 21 per cent growth in NCR's housing value is a clear indicator that quality and location are now more important than quantity. This trend is visible in markets like Kolkata and Chennai as well, where value growth outpaces unit sales. It marks a defining moment for Indian real estate—one shaped by ambition, confidence, and long-term vision,' Abhishek Kiran Gupta, CEO & Co-Founder, CRE Matrix, said, 'India's tier 1 housing markets have entered a new phase of value-driven growth. While unit sales saw a marginal dip in H1 CY'25, the `3.6 lakh crore in revenue—an all-time high—signals a clear consumer pivot toward larger, more premium homes. The 14 per cent rise in average ticket size reflects this structural shift in buyer sentiment.'
