Third VB train for NK welcomed in Hubballi
Hubballi: The third Vande Bharat Express train was welcomed with much fanfare at Hubballi station on Sunday evening. Many schoolchildren, train enthusiasts, and BJP workers, led by Union minister Pralhad Joshi, offered a grand welcome to the train. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Currently, the Dharwad-Bengaluru-Dharwad and Hubballi-Pune-Hubballi Vande Bharat trains are running through Hubballi station. For the section of Hubballi-Bengaluru, this is the second Vande Bharat train, and will go through districts like Haveri, Davanagere, Tumakuru. Addressing the occasion, Joshi said that Vande Bharat trains are a symbol of the country's development and these trains offer long journeys in the shortest time. "The Vande Bharat train, including its coaches and engine, is domestically manufactured. The production of these trains began in 2018, and their number has now surpassed 150, with 11 trains operating in Karnataka. Previously, train coaches and engines were imported from abroad," he noted. "Over the past 11 years, there have been revolutionary changes in the railway sector, with significant expansion of infrastructure. Currently, 30km of tracks are being laid daily. Until 2014, only about 45% of railway routes were electrified, but in the last 11 years, an additional 55% has been completed. In the state, 99% of routes have been electrified. There have been significant changes in the speed of goods train operations. Presently, the cost of freight transport in the country is around 12%, and by enhancing infrastructure such as loading, unloading, and building goods corridors, the cost is being reduced to 8%," he asserted. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now If the wildlife division grants permission for the Hubballi-Ankola railway project, it will open a gateway for development in the region. Approval has already been received for the detailed plan. Private entities have come forward to develop two ports along the coast as part of this project. Significant efforts are ongoing to initiate this project. "Land acquisition processes are hindering railway infrastructure and route planning. If these processes are expedited, significant changes can occur in the railway sector. Resolving land acquisition between Davanagere and Chitradurga and constructing the route would allow travel between Hubballi and Bengaluru in four-and-a-half hours," he mentioned. Sources in SWR said that the train inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Bengaluru was given a grand welcome at many stations. "Responding to requests by the public at large, we stopped it at even halt stations like Heggere Halt near Tumakuru. Though it was not scheduled, it was stopped in Arsikere too. People offered puja and raised slogans in favour of the Railways and the PM," they added.

Luxe flats priced Rs 3 cr+ top sales chart in Hyd
Hyderabad: Hyderabad's housing market has stormed into uncharted territory, with luxury flats now dominating the skyline and the sales charts as well. Properties priced above ₹3 crore account for more than a third of all sales by value in the first half of 2025, making home ownership for the average buyer further out of reach. Latest figures from CREDAI and CRE Matrix reveal that between Jan and June, 30,553 properties worth a staggering Rs 56,345 crore were snapped up in the city. Of this, Rs 3 crore-plus homes grabbed 35% of the sales value, while flats in the Rs 1.5 crore – Rs 3 crore range took another 34%. Affordable housing, meanwhile, has almost vanished — flats priced under Rs 70 lakh accounted for a paltry 3% of the sales value, mostly in far-flung areas such as Isnapur, Adibatla, Kismatpur, Shankarpally, and Ghatkesar.

It jumped by Rs 20 lakh in a year — from ₹1.62 crore in early 2024 to ₹1.84 crore now — making Hyderabad the second most expensive housing market in the country after National Capital Region (NCR). Industry veterans say a mix of rising land prices, soaring construction costs, and post-pandemic market dynamics have fuelled the surge in property prices. "Forget about prime locations, even in Bahadurpally and Dhoolapally in north Hyderabad, land costs are Rs 1 lakh per square yard," said C Prabhakar Rao, president, Telangana Builders Federation. "Once you add construction costs and fees, the price of a flat easily crosses Rs 1 crore," he explained. Builders point to a 60% spike in material prices — from cement to steel — over the past few years. In parallel, govt land auctions have pushed plot values higher, squeezing affordability even further. While CREDAI acknowledges the strong demand for high-end homes, it warns that over-reliance on this segment could shrink the market base. "Affordable houses in Hyderabad are scarce, with most buyers shifting towards luxury segments near offices, schools, and amenities," said N Jaideep Reddy, president, CREDAI, Hyderabad. "In West Hyderabad, you need to pay at least Rs 10,000 per square ft to own a flat; elsewhere, it's around Rs 8,000 per square ft," he elaborated. For now, Hyderabad's real estate is thriving in the luxury lane — but with affordability pushed to the city's outer edges, the middle class dream home is fast becoming a distant mirage, warn experts in the real estate sector.
