The BMCs were installed at Ponparappipatti, Koonavelampatti, Thathaiyankarpatti, Karaikurichi, and Akkiyampatti at ₹ 1.20 crore. The MP also distributed prizes to 15 best milk producers.
Mr. Rajeshkumar said at the event that the State government announced ₹3 per litre as incentive for milk producers and an additional ₹1 per litre for high-fat milk. Three more BMCs will be inaugurated on Thursday. Through this, milk procurement will increase by 2,000 litres and farmers will be able to provide milk till 10 a.m. and between 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Further, construction work is in progress in the district for Aavin dairy.
Milk procured in Namakkal district is sent to Salem Aavin and value-added products are manufactured and for this, ₹3.80 is paid for one litre of milk. The milk cooperative societies sustained losses because of this. So, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin announced that a dairy will be constructed on Mohanur Road in Namakkal at ₹90 crore. In the future, the expenses of sending milk to Salem will be reduced and it will increase the profit of the milk societies, Mr. Rajeshkumar added.

Best of BS Opinion: Sizing up the present and prepping for tomorrow
Have you noticed how a good tailor doesn't just note down size. They examine the grain of the fabric, test its stretch, study how it drapes and where it may crease. Precision in measurement matters, but it's the understanding of the material that determines how well a garment fits in motion, not just on paper. Much like today's world where the complexities don't lie in their surface figures, but in the hidden tensions, subtle shifts, and structural weaves beneath. Stitching the world together requires more than tape measures, it demands feel and a keen eye for detail. Let's dive in. Take Donald Trump's proposed second-term economic plan, for instance. On the surface, it's just another size-too-big tax cut, but Kenneth Rogoff reminds us the fabric is strained, federal debt is at 122 per cent of GDP, interest payments outpacing defence spending, and the bond markets growing increasingly restless. The stitchwork that held Reaganomics together no longer fits. Yet both parties seem reluctant to tailor in tighter fiscal seams, even as the dollar's credibility frays. In Tamil Nadu, Kamal Haasan's foray into politics reveals the limits of star power when not matched with political grain. Aditi Phadnis traces his trajectory which contains flashes of brilliance but little drape with the electorate. His alliance with the DMK may buy him a Rajya Sabha seat, but it's clear that charisma alone isn't a cut above unless it's lined with deeper grassroots stitching. Sandeep Goyal draws the contrast between Zeenat Aman's nostalgia-laced but weak Netflix return and Bobby Deol's sharply recut villainous turns. Reinvention requires understanding not just the old silhouette but today's fabric. Campa Cola nailed that, relaunching not with sentiment but with savvy pricing and strategic placement, showing us how legacy can be re-tailored to fit modern demand. Meanwhile, Shekhar Gupta threads through the geopolitical shift along India's borders. Pakistan's brief military flare-up wasn't a standalone patch, but a piece from China's strategic pattern. The drape of conflict has changed, subtle, layered, and stitched from multiple fronts, with Beijing quietly trimming the edges. And finally, Jyoti Mukul brings us to a repair shop in Gurugram where old gadgets are being brought back to life. Sunil Kumar's soldering iron is perhaps the truest metaphor, a reminder that good fixes aren't about replacing parts, but respecting the integrity of what's already there. With India's new Repairability Index and global moves toward circular economies, we're slowly learning to value mends over disposals. Stay tuned, and remember, true mastery lies in seeing how the cloth looks when worn in the real world!

BMC earns 7.5cr from event rentals on racecourse land
Mumbai: Since BMC took over 120 acres of Mahalaxmi Racecourse land in July 2024, it has earned Rs 7.5 crore in revenue by renting it out for events. The past year saw several international events take place at the racecourse, including Lollapalooza India last March, the Guns N' Roses concert in May, and international equestrian events in Feb. According to the rental policy, organisers charge a base fee of Rs 50 lakh for three days, with additional days costing Rs 12.5 lakh. BMC took possession of this land on an "as is where is" basis on July 2, 2024. According to a BMC document, the acquisition was carried out to develop an international-standard central public park on the lines of New York's Central Park and major open spaces in London. Of the total 212.7-acre racecourse plot, 120.1 acres or 4,86,108.39 sq m are now with BMC. The remaining 92.6 acres have been leased back to the Royal Western India Turf Club Ltd for 30 years — from June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2053, subject to specific terms, usage conditions, and permissions. Officials also told TOI that BMC finalised a design plan for developing the racecourse land into a hybrid public park and events space, which will soon be presented to the chief minister. Last year, BMC enlisted architect Hafeez Contractor to conceptualise the transformation of the 120-acre racecourse land into a central public park with green spaces, walking decks, and cycling tracks.

For BMC too, this is helping to generate revenue," said an official. Civic sources said the development of this space may be handed to Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), which has already been given the contract for the development of the Mumbai Coastal Road open spaces and to connect both — the racecourse and coastal road open spaces — via a pedestrian subway. "RIL has been given the open space for development with BMC not bearing the cost for it," said an official.
