Modi's cricket metaphor for India-UK ties
London: "There may be a swing and a miss at times, but we always play with a straight bat!" Prime Minister Narendra Modi told his British counterpart Keir Starmer on Thursday as he used a cricketing metaphor to describe India's partnership with the UK. Modi also said that India was committed to building a high-scoring, solid partnership with the UK. 'For both of us, Cricket is not just a game, but a passion. And also, a great metaphor for our partnership. There may be a swing and a miss at times, but we always play with a straight bat! We are committed to building a high-scoring, solid partnership,' Modi said in his media statement after bilateral talks with Starmer. He said the agreements signed today and Vision 2035 are milestones that take this spirit forward. India and the UK inked a landmark free trade agreement on Thursday. Prime Minister Modi, along with Prime Minister Starmer, also interacted with players of the 'Buckingham Street Cricket Hub' in London. Cricket, which is believed to have originated in the UK, is the most popular sport in India. The Indian cricket team, led by Captain Shubman Gill, is currently touring England for a five match test series. The two teams are playing their fourth test match in Manchester.

Govt to invite tenders for Vij, Visakha Metro today
Vijayawada: In a significant step towards boosting urban transportation infrastructure, the state government is all set to initiate work on the Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam Metro Rail Projects, with the formal tender process scheduled to begin on Friday. According to official sources, the first phase of the Vijayawada Metro Rail Project is estimated to cost Rs 10,118 crore, while the Visakhapatnam Metro Rail project is projected at Rs 11,498 crore. These high-value tenders will mark a crucial step in realising long-pending metro ambitions in the two key cities of the state. The metro rail projects are jointly funded by the Centre and the state government, under the public-private partnership (PPP) and viability gap funding (VGF) models. The Centre is expected to extend financial support under the Metro Rail Policy 2017, which encourages state governments to plan urban mass transit systems based on economic feasibility and sustainable urban development. As part of its financial commitment, the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) will allocate Rs 3,497 crore for the Vijayawada metro, while the Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA) will contribute Rs 4,101 crore for the Visakhapatnam metro. The Vijayawada metro, originally proposed during the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, is intended to decongest city traffic and improve connectivity in the rapidly urbanising Amaravati capital region. The first phase is likely to cover around 26 kilometers, connecting key city nodes including the Pandit Nehru Bus Station (PNBS), Vijayawada Railway Station, and surrounding urban clusters. On the other hand, the Visakhapatnam metro project, planned in three corridors spanning a total of 76.9 kilometers, aims to integrate the city's industrial, educational, and coastal belts. The first phase will cover the 28-kilometre stretch from Steel Plant to Kommadi, passing through heavily populated urban areas and key junctions like Gajuwaka, NAD Junction, and Maddilapalem.

AP on track to become an aviation hub: Janardhan Reddy
Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh is poised to become a significant aviation hub, according to B C Janardhan Reddy, minister for investments, infrastructure, roads and buildings. He highlighted the state's conducive investment climate, which is attracting substantial national and international aviation investments. The minister met industrialists and investors at the AP secretariat on Thursday. Three major aviation firms expressed interest in investing in the state: Skybird Aviation Pvt. Ltd. plans a Rs 600 crore investment for a Full Flight Simulation Centre; FTO and Heli Taxi Services proposed Rs 210 crore for flying training and helicopter taxi services; and Felix Aviation Academy intends to establish a Flying Training Organisation (FTO). These companies have submitted concept notes and strategies, and the minister assured swift clearances upon formal proposals. Janardhan Reddy also noted that various aviation and EVTOL (Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing) firms, including EPlane Company, BLUJ Aviation, Magnum Wings, Sarla Aviation, Golden Epaulettes Aviation Pvt. Ltd., and Haribon Aeronautics Pvt. Ltd., have shown strong interest and held meetings to discuss their plans. The minister emphasised that improved infrastructure in Andhra Pradesh is attracting trusted, long-term investments, which will significantly boost local employment. He stated that the government is prioritizing the development of roads, ports, railways, and airports as part of its industrial strategy. Reddy also remarked that the current administration is rebuilding investor confidence, positioning Andhra Pradesh as a reliable long-term investment destination after the previous government's impact on the state's brand image.
