Prices of flats along Delhi's Dwarka Expressway doubled in the last 5 years: report
Prices of flats on the Dwarka Expressway, which connects Dwarka in Delhi to Kherki Daula Toll Plaza in Haryana's Guragaon, have doubled in the last five years — from Rs. 9,434 per square feet in 2020 to Rs. 18,668 per square feet in 2024 — according to a report by real estate data analytics firm PropEquity.
The report said as many as 15,994 units were launched in the same period, and 16,502 were purchased.
It added that 74 per cent of the flats on the Dwarka Expressway in the last five years came in Sectors 113, 37D, 106, 111, and 103.
'Between 2025 and 2030, over 18,000 units are expected to be launched, and over 15,500 units are expected to be absorbed on the Dwarka Expressway, reinforcing sustained future demand,' Samir Jasuja, Founder and CEO, PropEquity, said.
Jasuja also said that 4-bedroom apartments have dominated the market in the last five years, with a price range of Rs 4.8 crore to Rs 8.6 crore
According to PropEquity, 42,816 units were available in Dwarka Expressway between 2010-2024, and the number of units sold during this period stood at 41,899.
'With a robust land bank of 53 acres, Signature Global has recently launched over 3 million square feet here, and we have a strong upcoming pipeline of 6.4 million sq ft of saleable area in this location,' Pradeep Aggarwal, Founder and Chairman, Signature Global, said.
The 29-km Dwarka Expressway, also called Northern Peripheral Road, was proposed in 2006 by the Haryana Government as an alternative route to National Highway-48, connecting Delhi with Gurgaon. Initially slated to be an 18 km project, 14 km of the expressway was operationalised in 2016. Later, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) took over the project, reworked the alignment and categorised it as a National Highway (NH-248BB).
The foundation stone was laid in 2019, and 19 km of the Gurgaon stretch was inaugurated in 2024 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This 8-lane elevated expressway connects Shiv Murti on NH-48 to Dwarka and terminates at Kherki Daula Toll Plaza in Gurgaon, thereby reducing the travel time between cities, IGI Airport, workplaces and entertainment hubs.

Health-focused food brands clock revenue gains on back of quick commerce, wider reach
HighlightsHealth-focused brands in India see rapid growth with rising incomes. Investment in health-centric snacks surged to $65 million in H1 2025. Quick commerce fuels demand for healthier snack options across cities. Rising consumer awareness in India, higher disposable incomes and expansion of quick commerce are driving growth for health-focused food brands such as Farmley, Yoga Bar, The Whole Truth Foods and SuperYou, multiple founders and investors told momentum has helped several players improve financial performance and attract investments, as healthier snack options gain popularity across urban and smaller 'healthy snacking' market is estimated to be worth about $4 billion and is projected to grow at a pace 3.5 times faster than that of traditional packaged snacks, according to estimates by investors. In FY25, Farmley, backed by DSG Consumer Partners, reported a 60 per cent jump in operating revenue from the previous year to Rs 370 crore. It was Rs 170 crore in FY23. The company became Ebitda profitable in FY25, cofounder Abhishek Agarwal told ET. The Whole Truth, backed by Peak XV Partners, is learnt to have ended FY25 with revenue of around Rs 200 crore, up by over 200 per cent from FY24, when it had registered an 80 per cent increase from the previous year, according to regulatory filings sourced from business intelligence platform Tofler. The company is operating at an annualised revenue run rate (ARR) of Rs 250–300 crore, a person aware of the financials said. SuperYou, launched in November 2024 and cofounded by actor Ranveer Singh, is growing at 25–30 per cent month-on-month and is operating at an ARR of around Rs 80 crore. Rising VC interest This year, investor interest in health-focused food brands has increased. The segment received about $65 million in funding in the first half of 2025, compared with $15 million in all of 2024 and about $20 million in 2023, according to data from Tracxn. In May, Farmley raised $40 million in a round led by global consumer-focused investment firm L Catterton, with participation from DSG Consumer Partners. In February, The Whole Truth secured $15 million in a funding round led by Belgian investment fund Sofina. Salad Days, another emerging player, raised $3.5 million in its maiden institutional round, led by V3 Ventures and Client Associates Alternate Fund (CAAF). Agarwal of Farmley said nearly 40 per cent of the company's overall business now comes from quick commerce platforms. 'The segment is really heating up across price ranges and categories. Consumers are actively seeking good options in the healthy segment that deliver on taste and nutrition,' he said. Growth in quick commerce channels and increasing disposable incomes, he said, are prompting more consumers to experiment with better-for-you snacks. 'How we tap into demand from tier-III cities will define how we scale offline distribution,' Agarwal said. According to data from Unicommerce, online orders for healthy staples and snacks in FY25 increased by 60 per cent from the previous year, with tier-III cities showing a 90 per cent jump. Mass brands gain Executives said investors are favouring companies that balance affordability with health-focused positioning. 'When you're Ebitda profitable, targeting a larger TAM and offering a health-plus product at Rs 30–40, you tend to attract significantly more investor interest,' said Suhasini Sampath, cofounder of Yoga Bar, which is operating at an ARR of Rs 300–400 crore. 'By contrast, premium brands with niche audiences and high valuations are facing more scrutiny.' Peak XV's principal Abhishek Mohan said quick commerce has transformed how consumers discover and access food brands. 'Impulse categories like snacks are ideally suited to the format, and healthy brands that deliver on convenience are seeing a strong lift,' he said. Peak XV has backed The Whole Truth and Mumbai-based The Health Factory, which makes high-protein breads. The growing preference for clean-label and additive-free foods is no longer limited to the metros and tier-II cities. Fireside Ventures vice president Ankita Balotia said the key challenges now lie in improving access, affordability and taste. 'Consumers today are far more conscious about what they and their families consume. But price sensitivity and taste parity with mainstream snacks are still important,' she said. Among larger incumbents, Marico-backed True Elements' revenue in FY24 grew by 33 per cent from the previous year to Rs 76 crore, while Tata Consumer's Soulfull business posted a 48 per cent increase to Rs 95 crore.

Deendayal Port Authority unloads 79,780 tonnes of coal in 24 hours
Kachchh (Gujarat) [India], May 31 (ANI): The Deendayal Port Authority (DPA) of Kandla set a new record by unloading 79,780 tonnes of steam coal from MV KMAX RULER in just 24 hours. In a post on social media platform X, the DPA said that the record-breaking operation was carried out with the coordinated efforts of vessel agent M/s Genesis Shipping, stevedore M/s Shiv Shipping Services, and importer M/s Gallant Metals. 'Record Reloaded at DPA! In a stellar feat of efficiency, MV KMAX RULER unloaded 79,780 tons of Steam Coal in just 24 hours at Deendayal Port, Kandla -- setting a new benchmark!,' the X post of Deendayal Port Authority added. DPA has set ambitious targets after exceeding its own target of handling 150.16 million tonnes of cargo in the financial year 2024-25. Speaking to ANI in April this year, DPA Chairperson Sushil Kumar Singh said that the port aims to handle 170 million tonnes of cargo, representing a growth rate of over 10 per cent. This new target is expected to redistribute cargo volumes among other ports. Kandla is a seaport in India situated in the Kachchh District of Gujarat. Kandla Port is the gateway port for states like Punjab, Haryana, Jammu, and Kashmir, as well as the rich industrial belt of West and North India. Kandla Port, located on the Gulf of Kutch on the northwestern coast of India, was constructed in the 1950s after India's independence as the chief seaport serving western India. According to its website, it is the largest port in India in terms of the volume of cargo handled. Deendayal Port Authority, India's busiest major port in recent years, is gearing up to add substantial cargo handling capacity with private sector participation. The Union Government is actively working to enhance the capacity of the port. Earlier in the month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for several transformational projects of DPA, worth over Rs 1,100 crore. (ANI)

Industry bodies hail cut on crude oil customs duty, call it timely support for refiners
Representative image NEW DELHI: Industry associations Solvent Extractors' Association (SEA) and Indian Vegetable Oil Producers' Association (IVPA) have welcomed the government's decision to reduce the basic customs duty on crude edible oils to 10 per cent, calling it a timely intervention that supports domestic refiners and discourages imports of finished products. Announced on Friday, the policy reduces the basic customs duty on crude palm, soybean, and sunflower oils from 20 per cent to 10 per cent. The effective import duty now stands at 16.5 per cent, down from 27.5 per cent. In contrast, refined edible oils continue to attract a 32.5 per cent basic duty, with an effective duty of 35.75 per cent. The move follows concerns raised by the industry over rising imports of refined palmolien. Over the past six months, SEA and IVPA had urged the government to widen the duty gap between crude and refined edible oils to protect local refiners. 'The government's decision to increase the duty differential from 8.25 per cent to 19.25 per cent is a bold and timely move. It will discourage imports of refined palmolien and shift demand back to crude palm oil, thereby revitalizing the domestic refining sector,' said SEA President Sanjeev Asthana. He added that while overall edible oil import volumes may remain unchanged, domestic prices are likely to fall, benefitting consumers. India, which imports over 50 per cent of its edible oil requirements, brought in 159.6 lakh tonnes worth Rs 1.32 lakh crore during the 2023–24 oil marketing year. Key sourcing countries include Malaysia and Indonesia for palm oil, and Brazil and Argentina for soybean oil. IVPA President Sudhakar Desai expressed appreciation for the government's acceptance of their recommendation to expand the duty gap, calling the step a boost for domestic manufacturing. SEA Executive Director B V Mehta described the revised duty structure as 'a win-win situation for vegetable oil refiners and consumers, as local prices will go down due to lower duty on crude oils.' Previously, the narrow 8.25 per cent duty gap between crude palm oil (CPO) and refined palmolien had incentivised finished product imports. Refined palmolien accounted for over 20 per cent of total palm oil imports in 2023–24, rising to nearly 27 per cent in the first half of 2024–25. On May 29, the cost-and-freight (C&F) price of refined, bleached, and deodorised (RBD) palmolien was USD 45 per tonne lower than that of crude palm oil, further skewing trade in favour of refined imports.
