Indore's Metro dream to come true today
Indore: India's cleanest city, Indore, is poised to usher in a new era of public transportation.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi
will virtually inaugurate the passenger service on Indore Metro's Super Priority Corridor from Bhopal on Saturday.
In Indore, the inauguration ceremony will be held at the Gandhi Nagar Metro Station starting at 10:30am.
The approximately 6km section of the Yellow Line forms the Super Priority Corridor, encompassing five stations including Gandhi Nagar Station, Super Corridor 6, Super Corridor 5, Super Corridor 4, and Super Corridor 3. This new corridor is expected to significantly ease traffic congestion, reduce pollution, and provide commuters with a comfortable travel experience.
Beyond its technical significance, the Metro Train's 'Super Priority Corridor' symbolises Indore's progressive journey towards modernisation.
It's worth noting that the entire Yellow Line of the Indore Metro will span 31.32km (22.62 km elevated and 8.7 km underground) and will feature 28 stations, promising to make urban travel easier, faster, and more environmentally friendly. The total project cost for the 31.32-kilometre metro line is estimated at Rs 7500 crore, with the initial 6-kilometre corridor alone costing approximately Rs 1520 crore.

Higher steel tariffs to dent exports as companies look at other markets
Representative image (Picture credit: AP) NEW DELHI: Doubling of import duty on steel and aluminium by the Trump administration will dent export demand, with companies having to scout for alternative markets. Several US importers have gone slow on fresh orders as costs went up significantly after the imposition of 25 per cent duty, although India was not seen to be worse off, given that the same duty applies to all countries. But if Trump decides to move ahead with his threat, several American firms will have to slow down production as such duties are seen to be unviable and unsustainable. This will also reduce demand for inputs. "The economic impact will be significant. US steel prices are already high, at around $984 per metric tonne - far above European prices at $690 and Chinese prices at $392. The doubling of tariffs is expected to push US prices to about $1,180, squeezing US domestic industries such as automotive, construction, and manufacturing that depend on steel and aluminium as key inputs. These sectors may face hundreds of dollars in additional material costs per tonne, driving up prices, reducing competitiveness, and risking job losses or inflationary pressures," said trade research body GTRI. Fieo chief S C Ralhan said the increase in tariffs would have a significant bearing on India's steel exports, especially in semi-finished and finished categories like stainless steel pipes, structural steel components, and automotive steel parts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo These products are part of India's growing engineering exports, and higher duties could erode our price competitiveness in the US market. EEPC India president Pankaj Chadha said, "It's unfortunate that while bilateral trade talks are going on between India and the US, such unilateral tariff increases have be done. It only makes the work of negotiators more complicated." Last fiscal, India exported steel and finished products of $6.2 billion to the US and about $0.9 billion of aluminium and its products. The US is among the top destinations for Indian exporters, who have been increasing market share through high-quality production and competitive pricing, Fieo said.

All set for ration distribution at fair price shops from today
Vijayawada: All arrangements have been made for the distribution of ration from June 1 at the fair price shops in the State. The State government has decided to stop the use of Mobile Dispensing Units (MDU) which were used to deliver the ration near the residences of the ration card holders and restore the fair price shops. Civil Supplies Minister Nadendla Manohar will launch the distribution of ration from the fair price shops in Pithapuram on Sunday. As per the orders, ration will be distributed from 1 to 15 every month from morning 8 am to 12 noon and again from 4 pm to 8 pm. Ration card holders can visit the nearest fair price shop to take the ration. The government has decided to deliver the ration at their homes to the senior citizens aged above 65 years and physically challenged. A total of 15,74,057 people both senior citizens and disabled will get ration at their homes. Civil Supplies Minister Nadendla Manohar said people can visit their nearest fair price shop and get ration due to portability. He instructed the 29,796 fair price shop dealers to display the stock, price and other information. He instructed the dealers to clearly display the phone numbers of the officials of the revenue, legal metrology and civil supplies department at their shops. Manohar alleged that earlier in the YSRCP rule, ration was not distributed properly and Mobile Dispensing Units (vans) were halted near the residences for a brief time and many people could not get the ration. He said people now need not wait at their homes for the ration and they can visit the nearest fair price shop to get ration as per their convenience. He said irregularities in distribution of ration can be prevented with halting of MDU vehicles in the State. Deputy Chief Minister K Pawan Kalyan in a statement said the previous government has purchased Mobile Dispensing Units at a cost of Rs 1,600 crore and distributed ration for only one or two days in a month. He said people faced hardships due to non-availability of ration. He said the coalition government has conducted a detailed inquiry on the diversion of PDS rice and caught the rice stocks at the ports in Kakinada and Vizag.
