Two of these companies will be allotted land in the upcoming Electronics Manufacturing Cluster (EMC) 2.0 in Sector 10, which spans 206 acres.
Ascent-K Circuit will receive 16 acres to manufacture high-end printed circuit boards (PCBs), including HDI, flex, multilayer types, and semiconductor substrates, while Aurionpro ToshiAutomatic Systems, which specialises in industrial automation and smart transit and mobility solutions, will be allotted five acres as a member of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) under the central govt's EMC 2.0 scheme.
Both units will be a part of the cluster approved by the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY), with Havells India Ltd, the anchor investor, already securing an allotment of 50 acres.
The EMC 2.0 project received in-principle approval from MeitY in April this year.

Ascent is also expected to form a joint venture with some Korean firms for the PCB manufacturing venture.
YEIDA CEO Arun Vir Singh confirmed that the land allotments are subject to approval by the Invest UP empowered committee and state policy guidelines. "Land acquisition is underway in Sector 8 and the LoI for the 100-acre plot, along with others, is provisional, pending regulatory clearances," he added.

These companies are the latest in a growing list of firms investing in the YEIDA region near the Noida International Airport. At least eight companies have announced plans to invest nearly Rs 12,000 crore in the region, driven by the dedicated industrial parks and state's FDI and Fortune 500 investment policies.
Among those that have already secured land allotments is Fuji Silvertech Concrete Pvt Ltd, an Indo-Japanese joint venture, which is setting up a precast concrete product manufacturing unit on 20 acres in Sector 32.
It was the first company to be allotted land under Uttar Pradesh's new FDI policy announced in November 2023.
TI Medical Private Limited, a joint venture between the Fortune India 500-listed Tube Investments of India (TII) of the Murugappa Group and Premji Invest, has secured an 11-acre plot in the Medical Device Park in Sector 28.

Rs 500 crore, Rs 700 crore, Rs 1000 crore..., who are the people who are buying such expensive houses and why?

(File/ New Delhi: Nowadays, there is a lot of buying and selling of very expensive property in India. Leena Gandhi Tewari, chairperson of the pharmaceutical company USV Limited, has purchased two duplex flats in Mumbai's Worli area for 635 crore rupees. The total area of both flats is 22,572 square feet. The cost per square foot is 2.83 lakh rupees. In the past few years, many wealthy people in India have invested a lot of money in homes. This has changed the luxury housing market in the country. Apart from Leena Gandhi Tewari, the Kotak family bought an entire building facing the sea in Mumbai for around 628 crore rupees. Radhakishan Damani, the owner of D-Mart, purchased an old bungalow in Malabar Hill for 1000 crore rupees. This shows that India's wealthy people are not just investing in the stock market or startups, they are now investing heavily in land and property as well and they are not just buying anywhere, but rather in selected areas of the country. Why are people buying such expensive properties? There are several reasons. Firstly, people feel that the market for luxury homes in India is doing very well. The demand for good homes is very high, but their supply is low. This is especially true in areas like Lutyens' Delhi, Malabar Hill and Worli in Mumbai, and Golf Course Road in Gurugram. As a result, prices are skyrocketing. In Gurugram, prices at DLF Camellias have reached Rs. 1.17 lakh per square foot. There are some unique aspects to these deals. For instance, the Kotak family has purchased an entire building facing the sea in Worli. It is believed that they will redevelop it. These properties are not just for living but also for investment purposes. This opens up the potential for creating luxury apartments or mixed-use projects in the future, which could yield good returns. Hot spots for luxury homes According to a report by Knight Frank, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Delhi are among the 15 cities in the world where luxury home prices are rising the fastest. In this list, Bengaluru is fourth, Mumbai is fifth, and Delhi is fifteenth. The report studied luxury home prices in 45 cities globally. It indicates that India is rapidly advancing in the luxury home market. According to the Knight Frank Wealth Report 2024, the number of ultra-rich individuals in India increased by 6% last year, reaching 85,698. It is expected that by the year 2028, this number will increase to 93,753. These individuals have invested 32% of their wealth in homes, compared to 25% in 2020. This shows that people are now investing more in assets like land and property.

This country hits jackpot as gold deposit worth Rs 6,678,000,000,000 discovered in…., it is world's....

This country hits jackpot as gold deposit worth Rs 6,678,000,000,000 discovered in…., it is world's.... Gold, often referred to as the yellow metal, is one of the most expensive and valuable metals in the world. China has made a groundbreaking discovery that could reshape its economic future. A massive gold deposit worth over £63 billion has been found beneath an existing mine. According to Beijing officials, the underground reserve is estimated to contain around 1,100 tonnes of gold, buried as deep as 9,800 feet below the surface, reported NavBharat Times Hindi. Furthermore, the report stated that the experts believe this could be the largest known deposit of any precious metal ever found. In addition, the quality of the yellow metal is expected to be exceptionally high. Valued at over £63 billion, this find is being hailed as a game-changer not just for China, but potentially for global gold markets as well. According to the current exchange rate (approximately £1 = Rs 106), £63 billion is equivalent to around Rs 6,678,000,000,000 — that is, Rs 6.68 lakh crore in Indian rupees. A team of Chinese geologists has reportedly discovered over 40 gold veins beneath the Wangu Gold Field in Pingjiang County, Hunan Province, containing around 330 tons of gold ore at a depth of approximately 6,600 feet. Advanced 3D geological modeling indicates that the deposit could stretch as deep as 9,800 feet, potentially holding up to 1,100 tons of gold. If these estimates are accurate, the total value of the reserve could reach an astounding $83 billion. The discovery contains 138 grams of gold per metric ton of ore, which is extremely rare and indicates very high-quality gold. As per NavBharat Times Hindi, Chen Rulin from the Geological Bureau of Hunan Province stated that this additional gold reserve was found in the drilled rock cores. He added that if the estimate of 1,100 tons holds true, it would become the largest gold mine in the world. At present, the record for the world's largest gold mine belongs to the South Deep mine in South Africa, which contains 1,025 tons of gold. Mines in Indonesia, Russia, New Guinea, and Chile are among the top five gold mines globally. The Carlin Trend and Cortez gold mines in Nevada rank sixth and tenth in the world, respectively. If China's new gold reserve is confirmed, it could give a significant boost to the country's economy. So far, the world has seen about 233,000 tons of gold mined in various forms, with two-thirds of it extracted since 1950. China has emerged as a major player in gold mining, and experts believe the country still holds many undiscovered gold deposits, the report mentioned. Today, China leads the global gold market, with its mining industry accounting for roughly 10% of the world's total gold production. China currently ranks sixth in the world for gold reserves, with about 2,264 tons of gold. In recent years, the country has been steadily increasing its reserves, and with the recent discovery of new deposits, China's gold holdings are expected to grow even more soon. At present, the United States holds the largest gold reserve globally. Meanwhile, India stands in ninth place in the world in terms of gold reserves.

Value of homes sold in India's top 15 tier 2 cities increased by 6% in Q1 202

Value of homes sold in India's top 15 tier 2 cities has increased by 6% to Rs 40,443 crore in Q1 2025 as against Rs 38,102 crore in the same period last year. According to NSE-listed real estate data analytics firm PropEquity, Lucknow with 25% increase in number of units sold in Q1 2025 at 1301 units registered the highest growth amongst top 15 tier 2 cities. This was followed by Coimbatore 21%, Gandhi Nagar 18% and Mohali 2%. Overall, the sale fell by 8% to 43,781 units in Q1 2025 as compared to 47,378 units in the same period last year. 'The decline in sales in tier 2 cities in January-March period is in line with trends witnessed in tier 1 cities. However, lesser supply in this quarter resulted in lower sales in tier 2 cities. State Capitals performed relatively better,' said Samir Jasuja, Founder and CEO, PropEquity. Other 11 cities saw decline in number of units sold in Q1 2025 with Visakhapatnam registering the highest decline (37%) and Ahmedabad and Goa recording the least decline (1% each). Coimbatore with 52% growth saw the highest increase in sales value at Rs 1120 crore in Q1, 2025. This was followed by Lucknow at 48%, Gandhi Nagar 36%, Mohali and Goa at 17% each, Ahmedabad and Bhubaneshwar at 7% each and Kochi 5%. Other 7 cities saw a decline in sales value in Q1 2025 with Visakhapatnam recording the highest decline (35%) and Vadodara and Nagpur registering the least decline (1% each). 'Demand in tier 2 cities, however, remains robust as people have shown greater preference for organised living. Urban rejuvenation efforts, improved connectivity & social infrastructure, and more importantly greater employment opportunities mainly in IT and new manufacturing hubs in tier 2 cities have further accelerated demand not only from within but also from people who have migrated to metro cities and are preferring to purchase property in their hometowns,' Jasuja said. The six State Capitals in top 15 tier 2 cities, namely Gandhi Nagar, Jaipur, Bhubaneshwar, Lucknow, Goa and Bhopal, saw 5% decline in sales and 17% increase in sales value, accounting for 25% of sales and 30% of sales value in Q1 2025.
